The psychologist has not only taught
us to discover and remove instructions
TO education He has also given us Ger
tain laws of mental life by which we can
guide education. We know today that
the whole circle OF mental life is made
up of just two parts-stimulus and re-
sponse No stimulus can reach any liv-
ing being without responsive action. In
the lowest animals the response is large
ly governed by heredity. In the highest

consciousness is constantly selecting
ideas that are related and trying them
! together into what is called an associa-
ton of ideas
When a new idea appears conscious
ness calls into effectiveness the associat-
ed ideas related to it. and according TO
their emotional tone the new idea is
either accepted or rejected. II accepted,
the new idea is taken into the group and

We cannot cultivate the Will and the in

THE PARASITES OF MAN.

THE Flora of Man may seem at
first sight somewhat inexplicable, but
| it formed the subject of highly inter-
Eesting address delivered before the
Manchester Literary and Philosophical
Society by DR.. E. Metchnikoff of the
Pasteur Institute, Paris. The lecturer S
text was the distribution of microbes
which are flora of lower kind-within
mans frame. All germs are not disease
producing. Many of them are our
friends, while some are undoubtedly our
foes. and very grim and powerful enc
mics indeed. For example, it was
shown that our digestive system is a
territory wherein a large. number of
microbes disport themselves, many spe-
cies aiding the digestive processes. one
OF the most Interesting parts of DR..
Metchnikoff' s lecture was that in which
he detailed how microbes that are
harmless when occupying what one
might call their natural habitat. be-
come Injurious when they pass to an
other region of the body. Thus it Is that,
in certain diseases the germs that are
iinnocuous while they reside on the skin
surface. produce boils and other all
ments when they pass inward and
invade what is to them foreign terri
tory. In the mouth. which is a verit-
able dollhouse as far as the growth Of
germs is concerned. over thirty species
| of microbes have been found, and
Metchnikoff attributes the rapid heal
ing of wounds in the mouth to the ac-
ton Of these microscopic tenants of
ours. Clearly, the case OF the microbe
is much strengthened when we find that
| its presence is necessary, or. least,
constant. in connection with certain
important vital processes.
