d other stores what kind of employers
and workmen, what kind of goods and factories they like, and the buyers
and consumers of America instead of taking what is poked out at them
because they have to, and being the fools and the slaves of capital and
labor, will get with a whisper what they request, and we will return and
will let employers and workmen return, to the status of human beings.

Sec. 2. _How._

The test of a man's truth is his technique.

What Mathias Alexander believes about conscious control and making
self-discipline work is true because he does not have to say it. He
dramatizes it.

Alexander is right in his fundamental idea of giving conscious control to
people through new brain tracks toward their bodies because they get up
and walk away from him when they have been with him, with their new brain
tracks on. New habits--new psycho-physical habits, like Culebra cuts are
put right through them.

The man who conceives or invents may be wrong, the man who experiments or
tries out, may need to be watched, but the man who puts through is
inviolable.

The program, the spirit and the function of the Put-Through Clan in a
town, is to embody truth so baldly and with such a shameless plainness
that no matter how hard they try, people cannot tug away from it.

There are three courses we might take in the Put-Through Clan in dealing
with our town. (1) We can stand for disciplining capital and labor into
shape by passing laws and heaping up penalties. (2) We can let them see
how much better they can make things by sicking them on to each other and
having them discipline each other. (3) We can make fun of both of them
until they make fun of themselves and each class begins disciplining
itself. Then general self-discipline will set in. We propose to
indulge--each group of us in the Put-Through Clan--the labor group in the
town, the employer group and the public group, in self-disciplining
ourselves, until the thing is made catching out of sheer shame and
decency in others.

Sec. 3. _Psycho-Analysis._

The scientific basis for psycho-analysis for a town, or for a labor
union, or for a Republican or Democratic Party, is found in the facts
that have been stated by Mathias Alexander in his book and demonstrated
by his work.

Professor John Dewey in his introduction to Mr. Alexander's book speaks
of what Mr. Alexander stands for, as Completed Psycho-anal
