 While distinctly emphasizing the scf- ences and the practical. industrial side of education. the college has proceeded wisely, continually. and therefore sue cessfully. The laboratories are extensive and highly equipped. No school in the South has better in several departments: the facilities aud appliances of these la- boratories (engfnes, dynamos, apparatus. etc.). being rated at about 5000. The laboratory method of instruction prevails in every department of practical wogk and the instruction is under the supN- vision of an expert. If not of "an in- dustrial genuis." Yet, while this is al true. the institution has never lost sight of the fact that 1t Is college. that is. an establishment for~~higher education. It has not been a mere trade-school; 1t has not been content to teach only the rule-of-thumb method of doing work. II has aimed at giving Its students broad foundation of education, knowledge of the principles, the why as well as the how. of the natural sciences and the Industrial arts. It has sought to turn out captains of industry, who can lead and plan and exploit the resources of the State, rather than wage-earners. or mere artisans, who though ever so skill full and ever so laudabIe. are not the leaders and promoters of great industrial undertakings.

lobec of the Brain.

The left lobe of the brain. governing
the right side of the body, is known
to be superior to the, right lobe in its
influence on the bodily functions. Dr.
Phelps. recent investigator, insists
that the left brain is also the intellec-
tual half He has studied nearly 300
cases of brain injury and disease, and
has found that the right side may be
severely injured without materially
affecting the thinking powers.

instance of q worlds rise from very

English-speaking folk 1t now means
the book Of books. In Chaucer's day
1t meant any book whatever or scroll
