Another example one sees in steamers, especially in the Channel; as soon as one goes into one's cabin the first thing one sees is a picture of a person about to sink and putting on a lifebelt. It is the first thing one is impressed with as the first omen. Certainly it is instructive, but it is not a psychological instruction. Even if the person in the picture is not drowned, the impression is not a good one. If such an instruction is needed, it would be better to distribute picture cards after the ship has started, after people have become accustomed to it.
