No class of human beings are more generally attacked and yet more gen- erally tolerated than gossips, those peoplewho are habitually spreading scandal behind secretive palms. That this type of mind is really ill; Pantile is .the contention of a great American physician, Dr. William A. White, of Washington, D.C., who des- '5'ibe-s'it' hf 21' ri ut ear- nal of the American Medical Assodia. tion. His contention is that certain individuals•owing up carry into their adult , habits far more in- fantile than nail-biting; that they are swayed by juvenile feelings still and manifest it not only in weak mouths but in such despicable qualities of mind as scandal -mongering. The child seeks pleasure regardless of whether or not it is good for him. As he grows older he shakes off his harmful plea- sures and becomes strong. selecting pleasures that are not degenerative. Some individuals, however, do not emerge into this mature and self-con- trolled state and always harbour more or less of the infantile pleasures, Dr. White calls the failing for gossip the "ear libido." He says: "Prom the standpoint of the usual social evaluation the type of person who is always listening to hear scandal of his associates is despic- able. He does not listen to hear some- thing good, but always to hear some- thing bad, and the worse the better. This is a somewhat less obvious pleasure -seeking device than that of the person who is all attention at the telling of every obscene story; but the principle is the same, because it is the obscene for which he is really listening. Such a person is a peddler of gossip, a besmircher of reputations and in all sorts of ways at the level of the ear libido (listening), a destruc- live member of the community, and incidentally a very unhappy and un- fulfilled person himself. As far as his function of hearing is concerned he has not grown up. He is still using his ear to minister to a low level type of curiosity. His ear has not been adequately integrated as a part of a socially useful member of society and therefore is not used to further social- ly useful constructive ends. It re- mains at the instinctive, pleasure seeking level. How muck better .be Could use his proclivity to listen by going to lectures, readings or con- certs and thus socializing his tread by using it for bringing him into contact with his fellows at socially useful. levels," - WOULD YOU HAVE .HEALTH?
