You will be able to do a vast amount of good. A well known medical man told me this story of how he helped a mother who was his patient. The mother had a son in high school. He was just squeezing by, sometimes was not even making a passing grade. The mother was exceedingly worried, and this worry affected her as a patient. Worry has such effect, you know.

Finally the doctor suggested that she provide him with the boy’s hand­writing, with the thought that he might find the answer. He did. The youngster was so self-conscious that he did not dare to stand up among the young folks of his own age and tell what he knew. He thought they knew more than he did, and between under-rating his own ability and the self-consciousness he was making his high school days agony, not only for him­self, but his mother and his teachers all suffered.

This doctor, who uses graphology frequently to understand handwriting personality of the patients , had a visit with the boy. He showed the young man from his own handwriting that he was equal and possibly superior mentally to some of his classmates. He convinced him that there was no reason for either fear or self-consciousness, then convinced the mother that she could aid by having her son recite to her.   When the bov discovered for himself that he knew and was able to hold his own with other students his own age, his problem was whipped. The boy gained, the mother showed better results from her medical treatment, and the teachers found that they had a near-honor student.
