Why People Fail

Failure is, in the majority of cases, due to an inability to recognize possibilities and one's own potentialities. When these faults have been corrected, the future presents a very different aspect, as any student of the GALTON SYSTEM will readily testify.

Nowhere in the 12 lessons constituting the Course is the student asked to take anything "on faith." Each statement is carefully explained and its bearing upon the facts of life are illustrated by reference to concrete examples. Wherever the student is disposed to confide his own individual problems to the instructor, endeavour is made to show the precise application of any part of the system to his case.

The employment of common sense, the willingness to learn, and the determination to translate into action the knowledge thus gained are all we ask from those who undertake the study of the GALTON COURSE. Given these conditions, we do not hesitate to predict, with confidence, success in the attainment of any reasonable human ambition.

The Galton System is the production of an eminent Englisli psychologist whose work in this direction is famous throughout the world. The Course deals with important phases of mental training which have never before been dealt with. The Course is completely up to date and trains every faculty of the mind upon sound practical and natural lines. There are no mnemonics or other artificial aids.

The Galton System is fully explained in an interesting booklet which also contains a brief outline of each lesson and a summary of the entire Course. Copies will be sent, free and post free, to any, address upon receipt of a postcard or the following coupon:

reductions in .Expenditure Estimates for.. the year. In fact, as I stated last week, there is the ugly fact that for the first time since the War last year's Accounts showed an increase in expenditure, while matters are not improved in the -Estimates for the new year.

REASSURANCE NEEDED. It is, of course, quite conceivable that by extreme optimism in the matter of Revenue forecasts, or by reason of some ingenious financial schemes, the Chancellor of the Exchequer may be able to provide the wherewithal for a small reduction in the Income Tax. That, however, cannot possibly take the place of the economy in expenditure which is so greatly needed, and I believe that • the greatest service which Mr. Churchill could perform in his Budget speech would be to convey in some manner which should be convincing that we were assured of such economies in the following year as would make . it certain, that the Government would then be able to make an important remission of taxation. How greatly these economies are needed has been further demonstrated during the past week in a supplementary answer by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury in reply to a question as to the proportion of 'taxation per head to-day as compared with the pre-War period.
