lecture on 1.-THE Level Head" The following is
n brief synopsis OF the
ADDRESS ny PROFESSOR HIGLEY.
Equilibrium was considered as the perfection OF
human development, and some Of the means by
which the level heads could DO increased in society
were discussed However valid the idea of equal
rights OF states in politics, II is certainly Of the
greatest Importance in human development. A
man may have heavenly mind and still have
helish stomach. A great distinction is often seen
between the development Of reason and emotion
the head and the heart. The one is often slim
ulated and fostered 10 the total exclusion Of the
other premium is put upon shrewdness, while
sentiment il deprecated and considered as un-
manly. 1t has been said that the common Italian
peasant was a better example of well-baanced
mind than is the average American citizen This
idea might be rejected rs erroneous by many, yet
there is excellent foundation for its truth II the
Italian Is reused to love Of art and nature II his
soul feels the pathos in poetry and appreciates the
beauty in painting, his reverence is enlarged and
his faith developed and although he may be I'M
educated, yet he is better type than the average
American who never goes to church, has no family
ties and whose only recommendation is that he can
run railroad, or buy up a legislature
The kindergarten system Of schools was con-
sidered by the speaker as bright omen for the
future. Hereit was not mere brain learning, but
pure child-growth, in a symmetrical and we'll
rounded progress. All studies that tend to true
balance are ALWAYS practical Tho finn arts s,,cb
