THE FORE BRAIN.

DR.. Meyers lecture yesterday was on
Localization in the fore brain" in which
ne illustrated by means of wax mo-
dels and microscope slides the construc-
ton of the nerve centers in different
forms Of animal life, and went into a
detailed discussion of the development
Of the fore brain in which the associa-
ton areas are situated He spoke in
terestingly on the bilateralness of the
brain and told of cases of one-sided
paralysis which resulted from an in
jury to one half of the cerebellum.
He described the development of the
seml-circular canals in the ear, which
were merely balancing organs in the
earliest forms of life. The canals in
the lower types have grains of calcare-
Gus matter floating in them which seem
to preserve the equilibrium of the ami
NAL. He told of an experiment in which
these grains were removed from the
ear Of an animal and powdered iron
put in their stead. This did not effect
the balance until magnet was brought
near the animal, when the loss OF ba-
ance was evident

ted. Gymnastic exercise should be
differentiated for the sexes. German
gymnastics are not suitable for WON
en-; there is special need of developing
the muscles of respiration and of the
abdomen, but even these are dangerous
in some cases.
To what extent physical exercise is
recreatiye from mental exercise is a
mooted question. Shiller says that pu-
pills do better mental work after phys
zeal exercises. Mosso's experiments in
dieate that physical exercise tends to
increase mental fatigue. The whole
matter is relative, to the individual. to
forms of exercise, to the form of
mental activity which follows or pre-
cedes. 1t seems to be a consensus Of
opinion that violent gymnastic exer-
else is not a rest from work.
. The time Of day for physical exercise
Is question. In Germany it appears
that the afternoon is the best time
Mosso says that hard work in physical
exercise is not nearly so good as the
lifting of small weights and he made
a number of observations on girls,
fnding that in a comparatively short
time the strength Of the arms was in
creased one-half to three-quarters by
very mild exercise with light rods. The
principal object of gymnastics is to
develop the body uniformly and natu-
rally; to devise a series of individual
tests Of the functional condition and to
determine series of exercise in the Sc
quenee of development
Now to speak on the hygiene of arith-
metic: Perhaps one-third the time in
school is spent in arithmetic. This ac-
tivity makes great demand on the
brain and reasoning powers, The ques-
ton is, at what time the subject should
hn hoe
dren should not begin arithmetic until
10 years of age.
Much of the work in arithmetic for
the lower grades has been too difficult
A committee examining into this said
that much Of the work in the lower
grades was not arithmetic, but exercise
in logic
There has been a superstition from
the early times in regard to the num-
Der. While it is far from my intention
to minimize the value of arithmetic, yet
think much Of the work might be
eliminated. In our methods we make
the work too difficult, We should
eliminate the unessential parts. Pupils
are fatigued by this almost more than
by any other study. 1t seems wise to
place the hour for arithmetic in the
morning and to make the study period
short
Inc Importance or adapting the
work TO individual differences should
be observed more than it is at present.
1t must be remembered that mathe-
NAUTICAL work Is more difficult to some
children than to others, and children
are liable TO be worried more about
arithmetic than any other study.
The work of arithmetic is liable to
develop in some children nervous dis
eases. Every pedagogical method and
principle should be regarded from the
point of hygiene first.

HYGIENE OF ARITHMETIC.
Muscular Development, as Such, No Evil
dence of Health, Says Or. Burnham.

Dr. Burnham spoke on the Hygiene
Of arithmetic,V etc, and began by
speaking on the subject of the day be-
fore He said In substance: Muscular
development, as such, is no evidence Of
health. Cases are shown that athletes
are subject 10 disease more than others.
And 1t is a well recognized fact among
horsemen that II a horse wins q race
too soon in life. he probably does MOTH
ing later. In the Spanish war 1t was
reported that the mortality among
athletes was greater than among the
other soldiers. The individual condi-
tions In physical training are Of utmost
Importance
Training should be adapted to the
sequence of development though but
little is known of the sequence OF de-
velopment and only the fact that the
larger muscles develop first. Children
under 10 years old are not susceptible
TO training. There is objection to all
forms Of violent exercise for children.
After the age Of 10 and IA the muscles
begin to develop rapidly. Mosso holds
that during the age Of puberty in girls,
physical exercise should not be omit

STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE.
Prof. John Tyler of Amherst Follows
Various DeveI opmsnts of Life.


AT the evening lecture, DR.. Hodge in
treduced Prof John Tyler Of Amherst
College, who spoke on THE struggle
for existence" and said in substance;
The question of the struggle for exist
ence is very close to the question of
the survival of the fittest The ques-
ton Of who is the fittest is one that
has been asked in every nation at every
time. The Greeks and Romans each
thought themselves the fttest. When
people begin to ask the question, there
will be two resolutions passed, one, Re
solved, we are the fittest. and second
Resolved, that as the meek shall in
herit the earth, therefore shall we at
once claim possession.
| am not here tonight to say who is
the f1ttest. There is only one means
of gaining any idea of what constitutes
fitness, and that is the study of his
tory.
If movement can be proved to have
gone on for long period Of time, we
are pretty certain that it will go on for
few years longer, and is, perhaps, the
f1ttest.
If we could have looked in on the globe
in paleozoic times, we should have seen
strange world. The continents
were barely sketched, il was an almost
unbroken, almost shoreless ocean. II
was brooded over by clouds and the
atmosphere was mostly carbonic acid !:
there was no animal life on the land.
and possibly no plant life
But If we could have looked into the
ocean, there were two forms, in both
Of which we should have seen hope of
the future. First, there were the mol
luscs, but we should have been at
tracted by the huge cephalopods.
which were probably larger than the
giant squfds of the present time; but
these early squids were probably lower
than the squids Of today.
Besides the squid, there were crusta-
ceans, like our common crabs. There
were trilobites and filopods, which we're
pretty well developed. II we looked
carefully, we might have seen swim
ming about just out of reach OF The
squids and trilobites, a sort of worm.

causes are on the mental side. BY the
time man gets on toward 40 he begins
to learn his own limitations, and whsn
man finds that his ambitions have not
been completed, he gives them over TO
his children.

from middle age to the next stage, ana

the powers begin to break up.
