A LECTURE ON SCOTT.
Second Of a Series Of -Four Talks on LIZ
er,u Subjects by Leon n. Vincent

The second OF series OF four informal
talks upon the greatest figures In the
world of literature by Mr.. Leon II. Vin-
cent OF Boston was given in the assembly
hall at the State Normal school yester-
day afternoon.
A reverent and thorough student OF the
lives and writings OF the great masters
OF English prose and verse. Mr.. Vincent
is at his best when dwelling upon them In
his lectures. Such being his favor1te
themes. the speaker could scarcely select
a subject more completely congenial than
that OF the personality and life work or
England's greatest romanticist, Sir Wal
ter Scott. master OF Abbotsford' from
whose pen came the immortal "1vanhoe.
The long and varied career OF the great
bard was charmingly drawn in word pict-
ures so finely executed as to make them
very real. The struggles OF the early life,
the contrasting luxury and ease OF the
Splendid years OF triumph and the trag-
edy OF the declining years OF abJect pow
erty were dwelt upon most sympathetic
ally and by some subtle power which Mr..
Vincent knows we'll how 20 exert the Joy
and sadness. the rise and fall OF fortune
and transition from obscurity to world
wide fame all were quite vividly set forth
and those that listened could not have
failed but 10 know Scott better.
From childhood, through the school
days and careless, freer years OF prepara-
tion for the law. on beyond the begin
nings OF the extraordinarily productive
literary period. Mr. Vincent traced the
life story OF Scott. The proverbial irregu-
larities OF the famous novelist's student
life received Just treatment and were es-
pecially well depicted by the speaker
Mr. Vincent dwelt at considerable
length upon the years OF greatest pros
perity. those years when the whole world
did homage TO Scott as the writer OF the
most wonderful novels that had yet been
published The speaker recommended a
selected list OF the so-called waverly
novels to the audience as being represent
ative and OF greater value.
In conclusion the collapse Of Scott's for
tune and health. his travels In search OF
new vigor and final return 10 his beauti-
full home at Abbotsford where he died
were made the subject OF some OF the A.
nest passages OF the whole lecture
Though Mr.. Vincent addressed himself
primarily TO the student body of the
school, the visitors gallery running
around three sides OF the hall was we'll
filled with teachers and others who were
eager to listen to so admirable a speaker
talking upon such an interesting theme
On Wednesday afternoon next, Mr.
Vincent will talk OF the life and writings
OF Ralph Waldo Emerson. The lectures
commence promptly at 2:45.

LOSS
MORE Than
GAINS

Berlin. Oct IA German professor OF
psychology. DR.. Kowalewski. has pub
lished an interesting booklet discussing
the question whether. the pleasant or the
unpleasant exerts the stronger influence
on human beings. He comes 10 the con-
clusion that the unpleasant Is the
stronger, and supports his conclusion by
the results Of experiments.
He asked number OF men whether
their pleasure from drinking a glass OF
their favorite drink is greater or less
than their displeasure at drinking some
OF the liquors they detest. All replied
that the unpleasantness from drinking
the detested liquor was greater and more
lasting.
Among Kowalewskis experiments was
one with class OF ia school children
from nine 10 IL years old. and all out OF
one social class. He asked them
separately: rs the pleasure you would
have from the gift Of three-mark piece
more or less than the pain you would
feel were you 10 lose this COIN" Eighty
four OF the children decided that the pam
would be greater. while only IN main
tained that their pleasure would be
greater.
When Kowalewski divided the sexes
on the question he found that s per
cent Of the girls maintained that the
loss made the deeper impression. while
only g. per cent OF the boys were OF this
opinion.
As Kowalewski increased the age OF
those with whom he experimental he
found that the greater the age the more
was loss felt over gain.
A curious experiment was made with
=.
event made the deepest impression on
them--the raising OF the price OF butter
by a penny pound or the lowering OF
the price by penny? Ninety-nve Of the
women declared that the raising Of the
price made a deeper impression.
