Miss F. E. Cox read an interesting
paper on 1.-THE Interrelation of Mind
and Body" No part of Gods creation,
she said, is so little understood and so
fearfully libeled as his crowning work
the human form divine" In order to
understand it we must first find what
being is. When the question Of the
interrelation Of mind and body is prop
erly solved then will dissolve into thin
air the problems that now vex the race
and reform work will be unnecessary
Formation must precede reformation.
AS we grow in intellectually let us
wed it to physical perfection. Many
when they get the leaf of knowledge
forget the parent stem of bodily devel-
opment and let it decay and even if
they do begin to realize the necessity
of physical education there are few
who think Of connecting it with mind
and spirit or that through right bodily
education, they can vastly increase
their mental and spiritual capacities.
Sooner or later the reaction will come
from the present boom in the purely
physical training-for culture we can
not call it-that is now in vogue in this
State, and it's ebb tide has already be-
gun. A higher evolution is the stan
dard work in older States, where more
attention has been given to the sub
ject.
Thinking people should give their
serious attention to this subject, and
remember that the right understanding
of Gods laws in the body-the physi-
cal expression of the soul-will very
rapidly lessen the many ills that now
Vex the race, such as intemperance and
the host of evils that follow it, Scien-
tific temperance instruction must be
followed by the training of the individ
ual will. Myriad are the relations of
this question to all the departments of
education and reform. Only the
trained specialists understands the full
philosophy of this question, but no
other educational work is so rapidly
increasing.
Mrs. Addie Billings opened the dis
cussion on Our School Suffrage Veto"
She quoted from the Constitution to
show that women should have the right
TO vote for school officers.
Mrs. Laura Tilden Ray also made an
argument in behalf of women's con-
stitutional right to the ballot. and the
debate was closed by Mrs. Laura De
Force Gordon In one of her forcible and
eloquent arguments. She claimed that
Governor Gage wrongly construed the
law on the subject. The State Legis-
lature has the right to grant suffrage
to women if it chooses so to do. She
held that the Governor should have
known better than to quote the cases
he did in support of his veto.
The Companionship Between Pa
rents and Children" was the title of a
paper read by Mrs. Laura E. Pinkerton.
She spoke of the influence that can be
exerted over children by entering into
hot. So. \
