Excerpt from Morale: The Supreme Standard of Life and Conduct

The first draft of nearly half this present volume was printed in the Psychological Bulletin (vol. XV, N o. This part was somewhat radically revised, and the substance of the volume as it now stands was given in weekly lectures in Clark University during the year 1918-19.

I 'hope that this concise survey of these very diverse fields may be considered as a plea for a new and more inclusive standard of the evaluation of not only individuals but of human organizations, and I would fain hope it may be worthy of a place as a textbook in some of our higher institutions of learn ing, perhaps in place of the types of ethics now in use. Our ideals of conscience, honor, and morals generally have not accomplished all we have hoped for. Why not try the standard of Morale here sug gested as more fitting for the conditions of modern life?
