1. "SIGNIFICS" - OR MENTAL HYGIENE
The Honorable Lady Welby, who Lady-in-Waiting to Queen Victoria, pioneered a movement, at the turn of the century, to tighten discipline of thought and expression in many fields of human interest, in education, in science, in all forms of mental activity, and to examine in the most critical manner concepts such as "meaning," "significance," "truth," "interpretation," and their bearing on what is commonly called the "value" or "import" of any branch of study and enquiry.
