or,o,, Of the Word "Farm.y

The origin of the word farm is as
follows: In the SaXons' time the estates
which the lords of manors granted to
the freemen We're at first but for a
term of years, with render of a rent,
which in those days was of corn and
other produce. The leases so made
were called fermes, or farmes, but
times ensuing turned the produce into
money and terms of years to terms of
life and inheritance.

The San Francisco call., 1904-02-14

7 \ the last talk attention was called
to the f It that the mind is that
in US which is capable Of knowing,
feeling and willing. 1t was also
pointed out that. primarily, the
child gains knowledge by means of its
senses. The intellect has other powers,
which must be considered briefly, at
least, by those who wish to study, un-
derstand or properly train a child
These powers are memory, imagination,
conception, judgment and reasoning.
Unconsciously. the child who has
learned to know certain objects recog-
nizes them to be the same as those
which he has perceived before. This
is an act Of memory. All other facul-
ties OF the mind. except memory, may
be trained by persistent acts Of atten-
ton TO their objects. Not so with the
wonderful faculty OF memory. Its four
acts OF acquiring, retaining, recalling
ard recognizing are all entirely self
acting and unconscious. We cannot by
any act OF the will perform any Of
the acts OF memory. 1t is evident that
the memory also acts unconsciously, for
the mind does not note that 1t has re-
membered something.
The San Francisco call., 1904-02-14
Puritanism.

Puritanism consists in the coercion or
other people. So far as a person finds
it necessary to coerce himself he Is en-
titled to do so; but if he tries to coerce
average people into his own ideal Oh
goodness he will fail, and he ought 10
fail: he will not only fail, but ne Will
be doing harm by the attempt. People
should be drawn, not pushed say
there are good folk wiser than Provi-
dence feel sure that if some folk had
made the world they would not have
filed II with people of both sexes and
left them to themselves to arrange
their own affairs and the system under
which they chose to live; they would
have preferred to put the men on one
side of the planet and the women on
the other, and would have certainly re-
stricted the conditions under which
they should meet. So We find 1t IN some
churches, perhaps for good reasons
am no Judge: so we find 1t in some So
cial institutions and in schools. so we
shall be likely to find it in any suggest
ed municipal institution. 1t is a diffl-
cult question. and not one on which
wish to dogmatize, but it may be per-
nlissible to throw out suggestions IN
serious discussion like this. That men
should prefer one sort Of conversation
or entertainment or game, and women
another. is to some extent natural, and
may be provided for by separate club
rooms and recreation grounds: but why
should there not be one large room
where both sexes could freely meet in
public after the days work is done?
Why should not young people, with
their families. have reasonable oppor-
tunities for forming friendships other
than those provided by lettering about
in streets and lanes? Courtship is not
prevented by making it difficult and
uncomfortable; and why on earth
should it be prevented? The more open
and above board it is. the better. Nor
do see that anything is gained by the
closing on Sunday of most places Of
public resort except houses specially
licensed for the sale Of drink. 1t is true
that in many towns galleries and libra
ries are partially open, but in some
they are not: and more might be done
than is done at present in that direc-
The San Francisco call., 1904-02-14
Memory

Since memory is in no sense an act
OF the viii. it cannot be cultivated in
the same way as other faculties are
cultivated. 1t may. l-0wever, be made
more accurate by frequent repetition.
The young child can forget what the
nursing bottle looks like. However, it
tastes, touches and sees it frequently.
Since images once produced on the
mind tend to fade it should not be for
gotten that if you want a child to re-
member anything it is necessary that
the attention be focused upon the
thought, and that there be much repe-
tition. Upon this will depend the dis
tinctness as well as the tenacity of the
memory.
The child cannot be expected to re-
member unless the mental images are
frequently brought into his mind. This
is especially so OF those things learned
through the sense of hearing. For
this reason it is necessary to tell chill
dren more frequently than older peo-
pie. There are several other ways by
which we may bring into the mind
images which have already been rec
ognized. These are the laws of the
memory. and may briefly be stated as
follows:
The San Francisco call., 1904-02-14
Conception

From this very brief statement of
the characteristics of conception,
judgment and reason, it will be seen
that they depend upon the previous
development of other activities of the
mind. 1t is therefore unreasonable to
expect that even an older child will
have any considera bio power of think
ing logically. Is it any wonder that
parents who do not understand these
fundamental truths make most
serious mistake in finding fault with
child for not being more thoughtful?
We are apt to punish child for the
most natural use of the senses and
Imagination, and are just as likely to
find fault with him for not being able
TO make use of faculties which the AL
mighty evidently did not intend should
reach full growth until quite late in
life.
Parents should therefore not expect
much in the way of the child's reason
ing as to what is best to be done. They
should cultivate and train this power.

improvement of human life in it's own
