When Mr.. Gates had his processes we'll in hand
in accordance with the laws he had discovered b
began to demonstrate what he could do with hi
mind, which he had trained in accordance wit
these laws
| at Chevy Chase, WashingtOn's beautiful Mary
land suburb, Mr.. Gates is applying this crucial test
beyond wild olive hedge and pretty villa in th
midst of wide grounds, on the line OF the eleetri
road just beyond Chevy Chase Circle, is a low
cOmmOdiOus building shaded by trees and howerin
vines. This is Mr.. Gatess workshop. Here ar
are the inventions in practical form which Mr. Gate
asserts are the result of applying the Mentative Ar
to his own mind. Here also are skilled wUrkme
engaged in making different parts Of recent inven
tiOns.
Among the inventions to be seen in his labOratOr
is electric shuttle which he believes Is destine
/ to make weaving Of fabrics a much easier proces
than at present. Others OF equal Importance an
machines for separating one substance from anothe
wheA not in chemical combination. One Of these
an electrOstatic and flour gold separator, takes tn
finest particles of gold from stream OF falling san
as magnet attracts iron filings. When the ma
chine is in motion the particles of gold may be see
flying through the air eight inches or more to tn
separator, to which they cling. This machine
pronounced a great invention by Maj. J. w. Powell
founder and director of the Bureau Of American
EthnOlOgy, in the Smithsonian Institute, Pref. A
81. Thompson, of the United States Geological Sur
Vey, William Essie, president of the COmstOcl
mines, and other capable judges who have seeI
II and examined them.
Mr.. Gates afirms that, by method of psyche
physical measurements, he can not only diagnOs
disease but can detect its approach long before tn
patient feels the first symptoms and before any 9th
er method of diagnosis could discover it. He ais
asserts that he has successfully applied his system
of brain bnilding to the cure of disease.
As to his peculiar system OF mind training, b
says that while scientists and others have been 0c
cupied with the effect of the brain on the body h
has given his time to the effect of the body and it
environments on the brain. He holds that first 0
all the body should be nOurished, Oxygenized anC
rested, ia order that the brain may be thorough!
sustained. Darkness, he holds was made for res
and daylight for work; so each day in the year b.
works from dawn until dark. Rising with the sui
be retires at dusk. He burns no midnight oil
He says:
''Eating, sleeping, resting thinking, ell shoulC
be punctiliOusly regular. Select q list of subject
in any one domain and consider them ct a certain
time each day. At first the images will be Glow
and indistinct and inaccurate, and the mind vii
quickly tire in considering them. But by repeat
/ ing the process daily at the same time the law Q
psychological periOdicity is utilized, and, if th
body is in condition to nOurish the brain, the imag
es viii soon become vivid and rapid and there VII
be scarcely any conscious effort. This utilizing Q
the law of psychological periOdicy is Of the great
est importance in training the mental iunctiOns {
promote efficiency and endurance. In fact it i
law Of success, and is constantly utilized BY thos
who succeed In any line Of effort, any may se
who viii give the matter little thought"
Mr.. Gates says he has found that in the earl
morning the sensOry and muscular structures should
be employed. During the late morning hours th,
intellect should take the lead. In the afternoon
and evening the emOtive and affective function
should dominate and the more completely one Sc
OF faculties rests the more efficient will they b
when operative
! That his system will make commonplace mind
great he By no means asserts. He says that ther
is as much difference IN minds in trees, but tina
every sort Of mind can be improved BY his method
The inventive mind win Be thught Just how to dis
cover without waste Of time or energy and th
mentative art will enable each individual to cOntrO
and utalize his mind to the best advantage.
Prominent educators and scientists are deeply in
terested in this new work. Prof. McGee Of th
Smithsonian Institution, in speaking OF it said re
Gently: ..I think this line of work will revOlutiOnz
education and lead to more intellectual progress
the next quarter century than in al the centurie
before"
Arrangements ere now being made to organic
and equip department Of an Institute OF Psycholo
gy and Psychurgy, which Mr.. Gates proposes {
establish In this department be will verify, class
ily and teach one Of the sciences which viii typif
and demonstrate his system.
