The Well known Educator and Lecturer
at Rutland, Va.

at Rutland, Va.
Prof. Thomas NJ. Ballet, superinten-
dent of the schools ofSpringiield, Mass. |
at a very large and distinguished gath
ering of teachers at Rutland, Va, spoke
ably on the "Psychology of manu-
Training, 'and from his lecture we print
this extract;
81 have been speaking of the brain
only. The spinal cord also must be
considered in education Some writ
ers have supposed that the spinal cord
was endowed with dim sort of con
seriousness, too, aud they have spoken
of the "soul of the spinal eord.n This
is more than doubtful, but it is certain
that the cord cannot be ignored in
studying educational problems. The
spinal cord is made up of sensory and
motor cell in the center and of con
Quoting fbers in the outer portions.
Many impressions made on the senses
go no farther than the cells in the
spinalcord. They never reach the
brain. You tickle the foot of a good
natured friend when he is asleep. He
draws back the foot without waking up
and without being conscious either of
the tickling or the movement. The
| impression was carried from the akin
along the sensory nerves to the sensory
cells in the cord. From there the
nerve energy travelled to the motor
nerves to the liuscles, causing them
T. contract 1t never reached the brain.
such an act is called a reflex act. The
| spinal cord is the quire of reflex action.
Many acts at first require conscious
action of the brain, but later become
habitual and unconscious. Such acts
are relegated by the brain to the spinal
cord. In this way the brain is relieved
OF much work, At first a child uses
his brain in walHlng, later he can walk
from habit and walks with his spinal
cord. At first we spell with painful
consciousness, later we spell the ia
millar words OF our vocabulary with
little or no consciousness. Children
ought TO be trained 10 write and spell
with the spinal cord and to use all
their brain power thinking the thought
? to be expressed. We do many things
with the spinal cord to relieve the
brain. We walk with the spinal cord
we write and spell with the cord, We
: knit aud gossip with the spinal cord.
we may sing and pray, not with our
hearts, nor with our brains, but with
the upper part of our spinal oord. This
is, no doubt, The physiological basis OF
the wrong sort Of ritualism, We tiI
. our hats to eaei other, or lift them tC
the ladies', not with our brains, if W,
are well bred, but with our spinal cord

! cord, hence We speak of a cordial vel
