I. RESULTS OF FAULTY MENTAL HYGIENE

No amount of hygienic training can compensate for mérked nervous de-
fects, but individuals can attain a higher level of control than either
heredity or environment would have promised. Better mental tone can be
developed as surely as better muscle tone. It can be done by mental
training,

of silly laughter, temper, hates, etc.

ests for their opposites

in mental hygiene.

late to this problem.

integration.
