s9 The lecturer was given tho closest 4 L
tention, and some Of he speaker " 4
ls .erances are here reproduced:

IN all the world Astronomy has cul-
ss.urs value; child study Is more, It has
Il in Immediate and practical value.
q Tho child In life repeats the entire his ..
y tory Of the human life. It begins as a
cell and biology claims that then we're
4 Moons when the only creature with Ire
was unicellulnr. The cell was divided,
\ and became In time more complex, until
Nitt reached the metazoan stage, then me
vertebrate. the mammal, the man az
type, and finally the Individual. The run,
5idamental qualities came first, then the
y accidentals.
ll2As an illustration, the human embryo
5of.fone mouth has gill sits in the neck.
THE upper one OF which Is drawn around
$and becomes the eye, another becomes
the ear, another the vocal chord, tho
lowest becomes Il certain glands. The
Infant had to pass through this gill
#siitEstage. Had some ignorant power re-
moved the Sits as useless. the result
would have been disastrous. Compare
&the5tad- poles tall. The tad4pole never
dropped its tall, but absorbed It. Cut 1t
of. and the legs would never develop;
Hence you wouldFnever have the frog. i,@
f Children pass through stages like an

lived out, too. like the Others Children
should develop freely: we should get

children m nst be developed Just as tails

s. The soul. according to modern ideas, Is
1 as; old as the body. The definition OF soul
8is not yet possible, nor would Helmholz,
&the great physicist, define any. The
soul IS a part Of the great push-up. Its
generic study has had too little attention
given to it, We cant say how old the
experience in the race history, even every
Of sunshine has been re gistered on It..
ORIGIN OF MAN "A
SS& BY hydropsychosis Is meant the water
& origin OF man, This is seen in the sway
ing OF children; some say they sway back
ana forth, for Ash wag their tails. An
\ infant supported on the stomach will waE
legs and hands and one child, when sus-
Y rended tr, warm wnter.B swan some four

are believed to be echoes tof a primitive

water. So the whale and other animals
$Truancy of children Is from desire to get
I'D water and to nlay and swim IN it.
VI The chief method or suicide among wo-
n men, who represent mankind better than
man, is BY drowning. The old sea draws
