Abstract
My interest in psychology as a field of study dates back to youthful years, although nothing in my uneventful childhood can be recalled as giving rise to such an interest. Our middle-class family provided me with few cultural and intellectual influences, even though books and radio were readily available. It was the public schools that stimulated and nurtured my search for knowledge in many different areas—in the arts, literature, and in a variety of fields of science and technology. Although I am now keenly aware of how limited such knowledge was, I nevertheless realize that the school was the primary source of stimulation for my interest in books and in the knowledge they contained.
