thy. DR.. Quarles, referring to his pre-
vious lesson, repeated that all human
beings have the power Of expression,
which is mental aad not physical
mower. though It is manifested through
he body. It is = power Of intel
leet and not OF feeling or OF
volition. IL may be manifested
in two ways, personal and nou-persOnsl.
The personal includes gesture aud
voice. NOn-psrsonal may be arranged
under three heads: color, shape and
sound. Music was mentioned as an ex-
ample OF the last mode OF expression
Leaving this branch Of the subject, the
intellect, the second general power OF
the mind, or sensibility, now became
the subject OF discourse.
SensibiH.y is dlvlsible into two great
classes, simple aud complex. The sim
ME emotions are Invisible into TWO
classes, pleasure and pain.
The complex emotions are affection,
desire, hope. Emotions are known ony
by experience; they cannot be de-
scribed. The last Of the powers OF the
mind Is the will Psychologists diHer
little about the sensibiIities, but greatly
about the intellect aud the WILL
motives influencing the will are exter-
nal and internal aud vor:OuS llluStra-
tions in proof Of this statement were
given.
The last element Of the will Is yoll-
ton, which is merely mechanical 10 us
action, and always precedes the outer
act, but not always Immediately.

ing expired short recess was had, and

called attention 10 his book
on the sentence. Many Of the teachers
have used the book and consider 10 one
OF the best Of it's class. Analysis was

discussed and the speaker urged teach
ers 10 require diagrams OF sentences,
as aids 70 promoting thought Some
difficult examples we're made clear Oy

DR.. Quarels in beginning his last
talk, thanked the teachers for the IN
spiration which they had given him By
the great interest they had shown IN
listening 10 him.
Freedom Of the will or, rather the
different opinions OF philosophers upon
= the subject, was the matter Of bis lecture.
The three forms Of fatalism, which Is
opposed 10 freedom, were given as ma
terialism, evolution and the theological
view. According to all these views,
man is not responsible for his acts.
The advocates Of freedom OF the will,
hold either the theory OF contingency,
or OF seli-determinatiOn.

theories, and closeS bis talk on physol-
