WEDNESDAYS SESSIONS.

member of the Board of Education of |
Perrysburg- -tramped overthe mounds
which mark the stockade and the |
block houses. Mr.. Hayes boyhood |
was spent about Ft. Mesgs and its |
mounds are an open book to him. He !
read from this open book to the |
teachers and his story proved to be.|
intensely interesting. 1t was Il page
of real history This trip delayed
somewhat the opening session of the
Institute which after the morning eN-
ercises listened to Supt. Simkins. He
took for his first topic The Powers of
the Supreme Conrt.
The Supreme court has made the
Constitution because it has inter
preted its meaning; and that is final
because the State Supreme courts
have appealed cases of it and thus
made it a court of final appeal.
The zone man power" in our gov
ernment is evident from the decisions
of the S. G.. which has decided 4 to 3
that paper money was not legal and
afterward to 4 that it was legal.
The S. G. haseven elected Il president.
The business affair of the L. S. is un
der the care of the judicial depart
ment which is not so in Mexico,
France and other countries and hence
the need of really great lawyers.
His second period was used in a
discussion of river formation and e.
fects of rivers. The parallel tendency
is illustrated on every smooth road
after rain, there also teachers can
see the effect of distractions in the
detection of the streamlets. Hills are
being cut away until in the ages com
ing, the hills will disappear and the
plains will become towering hills and
undulating valleys.
His afternoon topic was Rivers, and
right well did he handle his topic. The
same conditions are often found i'll
rivers near our homes as in those that
are far away. The Maumee and the
Mackenzie are much alike The st
Lawrence is a new river and the most
peculiar one in the world and yet it is
much like others. A river seems to be
series of lakes and falls sometimes in
miniature like the Maumee but some.
- I, ,sr, lp
Lawrence. Not all rivers make then
own valleys as the books say. How
rivers cut across mountain ranges was
explained and Illustrated by diagram
The rivers cut their way as fast as the
mountain range was upraised
Lookout mountain was formerly a
valley as shown by the tilt of the
strata.
DR.. Roark's morning discussion
was upon the physical senses. The
physical senses number not but
and perhaps more. Certainly there is
muscular sense and a temperature
sense perhaps pain sense and also {

there are they hage all been developed
by a process of differentiation from
touch. 1t was clearly shown that
there must be contact, or touch, be-
fore sight, smell, sound or muscular
sense. There is no knowledge
possible with the physical senses
The avenues of the soul are very small
This was made clear by reference to {
vibrating wire. At SO vibrations thu

have no perception of them until there
are 34t millions then comes electricity
at 80 millions heat, at 450 billions light
but of the countless vibrations in th,
gaps we have no knowledge through
our senses.
The physical senses afford protec
ton but chiefly as they have been ed
ucated-or better, as the soul within
has been educated. They also affort
enjoyment both esthetic and ethical.
The Professors afternoon topic wa
Memory" He asked "Where are til,
images of things when they are not il
memory?" and answered frankly tina
he did not know Memery is the scel
shifter which flashes the images tina
are stored in mind into consciousness
There is a physical theory of memor.
which may be regarded as operating
as if dents were made on the brain
These dents like scars in the flesh ma
always remain. This would harmo
nize with the idea that memory re
tains everything. 1t may fail to re
call and more often fail to recognize
The Law of Association rules in th'
region of memory. Verbal memor
and logical memory are two forms o
memory. The former often used b.
