ficial work in helping those whom society call outcasts to regain self-confidence and live a useful life.
At times I feel discouraged, but I have never lost hope in finding the truth. Beset with the teachings of my childhood, it is difficult to become a real person.
As I have had experience, I can truth fully affirm that moral ideas and prejudices absorbed in early childhood can have a devastating effect in later years, and to break away from them is the only way to maturity and to real mental health. The first step to contentment is the recognition of the fact that if that is what I am, that is what I am. I sometimes wish that tomorrow I shall be something else, but the future is not the same as the present. This, in short, is my belief.
Since I am in the Army, the necessity to repress my personal feelings becomes very difficult to bear, but I realize that a sacrifice of another year in the Army is not a great price to pay for living in a country such as ours.
I hope that I have indicated in this letter my desire to know more about your Society. Any comments, or questions that you wish to ask I will be most happy to answer. Sgt. P. C., California.
MISCELLANEOUS.
REVIEW EDITOR: I am sending a letter and information on the Society to a friend who should be able to send some money in if he can overcome his fear of reprisal that may be taken against him economically if it should become known that he supports such an unpopular cause. -Mr. F. C., California.
EDITOR'S REPLY: Thanks for your ef forts on our behalf. We desparately need the support, and can assure your friend that names of contributors are revealed to
no one.

REVIEW EDITOR: I am a sophomore ma joring in psychology at an Oregon College. This term in psychology, we are doing a research paper on some psychological problem we know little about. For this reason, I chose homosexuality, one of the most misinformed and misunder stood prblems today. I am writing to your organization because I have been told that you would send out information on the subject. If this is true, would you please send me any books or pamphlets you feel would help me in my research. If it is not possible for you to send me any information, could you give me any leads as to where I could get the neces sary material. Miss K. S., Oregon.

REVIEW EDITOR: When I wrote the Cosmo Book Co. recently, I received a pamphlet about your Society. This is why I am writing.
I am a student of grapho-analysis, and altho I have graduated some time ago I am still trying to improve my study.
I would like to make myself clear, how. ever that I am not a homosexual nor am I a sensationalist, I am interested in peo. ple with socio-sexual problems inasmuch as I would like to study their handwriting. I do not frown upon anyone of this nature; I believe a person should live his or her life according to one's dictates. I would welcome anyone of your Society regardless of their socio-sexual problems. -Mr. A. H., California.
REVIEW EDITOR: Since reading The Sixth Man, I feel that I could qualify for membership in your organization, one that I had not known existed before coming across the book... Please be assured that my interest is personal, rather than connected with my position with this newspaper. I am using this letterhead only because I would prefer that any correspondence be directed here, rather than to my home. Mr. E. C., Washington.

REVIEW EDITOR: If everyone interested would pledge a small monthly sum to your organization I am sure you could expand your good work. The churches have succeeded with this sort of program. Perhaps your organization would grow in the same way. Mr. R. B., Oregon
