team study is to gain the most perfect
mastery of self. Since the Introduction

try it has been adopted in nearly every
school in the land, besides it's application
to the different arts. especially the stage.
In all cases where the system is used in
school, the result is always satisfactory
in imparting a knowledge Of the beautiful

Matter and Mind" by Miss Mary
Pillsbury, read by Miss Amy Edmunds.
Eve cannot tell what matter is in itself,
or what spirit is in itself, but we mean
by matter that which has length, depth
and breadth-the properties which are
revealed to us by our outward senses; we
mean by spirit that which is not bound to
, the conditions Of space; which is not
known to us by our own bodily senses
Immediately, but by a revelation sui
generis, called consciousness.
"The works Of man, his civilization, his
high position, are products of the mind.
1t is not said that mind has no growth
before the present man-it must have had,
but the growth of matter was greater and
at the creation recorded begins the ascen-
dency of mind.
1T is claimed by some that there is no
such thing as mind without matter; that
| they are but different sides of the same
substance; every new perception, every
| thought every action of the mind, makes
! some impression on the matter of the
brain and therefore without matter to act
upon there can be no mind, just as with
out the ear drum there can be no sound"

of man as an intellectual, aesthetic and
moral being; the other is that the test Of

business and toll. The w%atchword of the
one is %culture! Of the other utility.
