AL RELATIONS

No matter how truly mated a man and woman may be, life-long happiness in
the marriage relation depends upon mutual understanding. Many a noble ship
of matrimony has been wrecked hopelessly upon the jagged rocks of
misunderstanding. Character analysis opens the eyes, reveals tendencies
and motives and offers true knowledge as a guide to the making of one's
self truly lovable, and the finding and bringing out in the other of
lovable qualities.

An intelligent woman of thirty once said to us: "I could never get along
with my father. As soon as I began to have a mind of my own, he and I
clashed, notwithstanding the fact that I loved him and he idolized me.
After I had married and left home, my love for him frequently drew me back
under his roof for a visit. But before I had been there a week we had
somehow managed to have a bitter quarrel and separated in anger. After I
learned to apply the principles of character analysis, I returned home on
a visit and the first thing I did was to analyze father. For the first
time in my life I understood him. Since that time we have never clashed,
and my visits with him are a great joy to me as well as to him."

We have in our files a sheaf of letters from both men and women telling of
the regaining of a lost paradise through mutual knowledge and mutual
understanding.

THE SCIENCE OF CHARACTER ANALYSIS NOT A CURE-ALL

We do not offer the science of character analysis as a panacea. We have
already emphasized the fact that mere knowledge of one's true vocation is
not enough for an unqualified success in it. We do not believe that
character analysis alone will solve the age-long problem of capital and
labor, nor do we hold forth the promise that a scientific knowledge of
human nature will enable every individual who obtains it to be uniformly
successful in selling, advertising, public speaking legal practice, and
other forms of persuasion. The serious and intricate puzzles of social
life will find no golden key which unlocks them all in the science of
character analysis. The supreme problems of love, marriage, marital
relations, divorce, and family life are far beyond the limited scope of
character analysis for their complete solution. Human life; human
efficiency; human mental, moral, and physical development; human
civilization in all of its aspects, are a matter of slow evolution, with
many a slip backward. He is either self-deceived or a charlatan who claims
