The theory of these experts is that each of us has certain One is “cut out to be” a lawyer, doctor. ‘dentist, carpenter, machinist, salesman, promoter, organizer, A And, the experts reason, a man is apt to be a failure if he follows the wrong line. Prof. Carl C. Brigham, psychologist, of Princeton, Uni- ‘versity, attacks this theory that each of us has a highly {developed gift for one kind of work. and not for others. , that a student’s inability in a cer- tain branch is in reality a’matter of distaste and emotional ‘pias rather than natural inabitity. b In other words, a student is'a star at mathematics be- ause he likes it, not because he has a gift for figures.
