yet more. And this spirit leads to sps-
cialization, to establishing of schools
and universities for particular lines of
research.
Such it Is which has led Mrs. Charles
F. Joy, wife of a former st. Louis con-
gresham, to propose million dollar
university modelled on lines absolutely
new in educational methods, and in

school would be a twentieth century in
stitution in every sense of the word, Mrs.
Joy declares, and the fundamental pur-
pose underlying all of its, work win be
the study and discovery of every power
In nature available for the benefit Of
man.
Speaking further along this line; she
says: "a truly scientific investigation
will be made of so-called psychic phe-
nomena, and it will seek the Invention
of mechanical instruments which will
register psycho-physical forces. One of
the first great benefits to be derived
from such an investigation will be the
detection Of fakirs and imposters, who
too often hold forth in the field to-day,
and the awarding of credit to those who
merit the reward. | believe that in
time. with the progress which must be
made. this proof will be forthcoming.
aside from this branch of the school
there will be a department for the en-
couragement of all curative and thera-
peutic agencies with reference to all
modes. too many of which have been
overlooked and kept under cover by the
so-called established schools of medi-
cine. In brief, | hope to procure recog-

Investigations will be made into os-

theories may be demonstrated, and each
student or professor may work out'i

purpose to teach economics as they are

slango ( the day. In regard to the work
of the colony, Mrs. JOY says, further:
'In the colony, each of the disciples
will have unlimited opportunity in
actual living to demonstrate the prac-
tical qualities of his theory. Houses
will be established for aged teachers and
others who have worn themselves out

''There will also be a department IL
