ingS are narrowed down to the individ
ual. how are we to make out a case
for the social mind or as we have
called it, the spirit of the age? We
find the basis of it's existence in a we'll
known physical law. like bodies re-
ceive and transmit like vibratory mo-
tions. In so far then, as nervous sys-
TENS are organized alike, they will re-
ceive and transmit the individuals pos
sessing them will think and feel alike;
they will have not necessarily the same
thoughts 1t needs no argument to
show that persons of the same species,
race. community, possess like physical
structures and that the longer they
live together the more alike they be-
come. 1t follows, therefore. that there
is a material bond holding together
the individuals of a society. which be-
comes closer and stronger the more the
individuals live and act in common.
Here, then, is the physical basis Of
social organization, and the physical
fact which corresponds to the psychic
phenomenon of the spirit of the age.
Whether or not there exists a universal
mind corresponding to the tOtality Of
these physical representations is still a
metaphysical or a theological question,
according to ones point of view. But
it is a question of the greatest interest
and one that the psychologist need not
try TO avoid. There is but little theO-
retical difficulty in the solution of the
problem. The physical basis of the
individual mind is a community of the
senses. and the result is total per-
sonal consciousness. The physical ba-
sis of the universal mind is a commu-
nifty of individuals; why may not the

our lives? L suggest these questions as
likely to prove very interesting and
fruitful ones to those who are specu-
latively inclined.
