Platteyille Home Lecture Course was
given in the Congregational church
on Tuesday evening. The first part
which was under the leadership Of
Mrs. Chalmers, consisted Of musical
numbers by an old time choir led by
the veteran chorister d. Il. Gardner.
The picturesque dresses. the quaint
fugue music that our grandfathers
loved and the sweet accompaniment
of the stringed instruments carried
one back to the days when organ and
melodian were not-when the key
was given by a tuning fork-when the
big cello doomed beneath the base
and viols sustained the shrill soprano
and counter. The guitar and banjo
duet was especially enjoyed. The
public has learned to anticipate some
thing exceptionally good when Pro-
lessor McGregor is announced to
speak, but his lecture, The Brain
and its Functions even surpassed ex-
pectations. 1t was scholarly pro-
duction, in line with the latest scien-
tific knowledge. its points made most
forciblc by graceful quotations and
apt illustrations.
