/ watched the shadows when child,
When Summer Evenings dying shades
Were lengthening OIL the spreading wild,
And through the forest glades
saw the golden setting sun
Go down the crimson-colored west.
As the brown-mantled Eve drew on
A sunset-purpled vest.
Red CLEANS upon the moor-land brown
Made fiery every hiIlock-swell.
And streams of dying light came down
The quiet forest dell
The rainbow-ti tinted wavelets streamed
Along the lonely heath afar,
And solitary diugles CLEANED
As lighted by star;
And coronals ofradiant light
Der vale aud mountain paled away
When wee bird stopped his singing fight
And bade farewell to day.
It seemed that Time his journeying stopped,
To rest him in the Summer shade;
Where murmuring waters softly dropped
In whispers down the glade.

| THE PHYSIOLOGICAL JOURNAL for Deem
Der publishes with commendatory remarks,
the address delivered before the Wisconsin,
| Teachers Association at Milwaukee, July
22nd., by Mr.. T. c. Chamberlain, Principal OF
the Delevan High School.
Mr.. Chamberlin says: ''The work of q
teacher is the development and equipment OF
the mind. Mind is the substance or essence
wrought upon" He asks Scan the engineer
control the mighty forces of steam without a
knowledge of the parts and powers of his en-
still m ore potent energies of the mind while
ignorant OIL ITS faculties and their functions %
By this we learn that Mr. Chamberi n thinks
the mind is substance or essence and that ii -
the mind-has aculties, and that these iacui.
lies have func tions.
Again he says: eve know nothing of mind
except in It's relation TO matter. Mind affect s
matter. or rather, mind is spirit manifested
through matter.-So far as our obeervati
goes, nature provides a specific organ for
every sepcrate function. The mind must,
then, possess its organ, and if composed OF
distinct faculties having seperate functions,
these must each possess its organ. Pre-emi-
nently is this true, since mind Is spirit mani
tested through matter. This matter is then
It's organ" So it would seem that mind is
substance, that it has faculties, that these
faculties have functions, that these functions,
must have organs through which to act, and
that mind Is spirit manifested through organ
lZed matter. A fac ulty is D0lper of mind n
body. Mr. Chambsrin would seem to limit
1t TO & p0tceS CJ tie mind and not clearly TO
Distinguish between faculty and function, pro
vded there is distinction. And he fails to
INFORM his hearers what spirit is, unless when
he says: Il, likewise claims that whatever may
bc'truc ofsplrit, the essence of mind, mental
manifestation depends solely upon the size
guilty, aetiV1y, and other conditions of the
ain, or its organs
Mr.. Chamberlin has trinity in man Body
mind and spirit. The apostle Paul had trim
ity of body, scotland spirit. Some of the Greek
used pneuma and psuche, spirit and soul, inte.-
changeaby. Perphaps Paul did Sc too. Does
not Mr.. Chamberlin use mind, faculty, .tasne
ton, essence and spirit in much the same way q
Iaat there is an outer an amer and an inner

who try tounderstand themselves. And, all
