A Psychological Missing Link.

So many romances have been founded
upon the possibility of hypnotic sug-
gestion as an incentive to crime that
there is refreshing novelty in a scientific
statement of the possibility of utilizing
the same agency for reformatory and
restorative processes. The writer Of an
article on Moral Value of Hypnotic
Suggestion" in the February number of
Harper's describes practical results &C
complished by this means which are
absorbing in their present interest and
expand the horizon of possibilities be-
yond the keenest Visions reach.
1t is found that the patient. in the
first stages of hypnotic sleep, is extra
ordinarily sensitive to the positive
been turned to the purpose OF mental
and moral cure. Physical defects like
suffering and stammering vanish be-
fore the suggestion that the afflicted
person, on awaking. will be free from
them. Victims of the alcohol. nicotine
and morphine habits, who desire release
have been saved by suggestions that
turned desire into aversion and
strengthened determination. or all the
long list of affections that depend upon
disordered or deteriorated nerve CEN
tiers, there are few which are not found
anienahle 10 this treatment. Happily
this influence. too, is strong for good
and weak for evil Whereas It IS COM
parativelv easy TO restrain a klepto-
maniac it is hardly possible to make an
honest person steal through post -hyp-

of children and. the disastrous conse-
quences for them of home study. NO
body seems to have thought Of what the
modern system of education means for
the teacher. And the great body OF
these teachers is made up of women,
to whom by natural selection is being
assigned the great work of training the
young.
1t is generally understood that they
are underpaid; that they are overwork-
ed is probably less well comprehended.
There is no occupation that makes so
great a drain on nerves and vital forces
as teaching. The good teacher puts
herself in sympathy with her pupils.
She imparts to them some of her own
vitality. In the passage of the subtle
currents OF understanding there is more
or less actual transmission OF energy.
He who bares his arm to the lancet
that his blood may nourish wasted or
ganism does only what the teacher does
every day for minds that demand food.
1t follows, therefore, that actual school
hours are long enough for all the de-
