Relation Of Sight and Sound.

THE experiments prove that. al
though not exclusively, the identihca-
tion was made through the figures
made by the p~erforations in the discs
and the outer parts where the p~erfora-
tons are farther apart serve his pur-
pose the better. This conclusion seems
10 pe supported by the general laws
OF association. While the music Is
being played, the child stands up in a
chair where he can look directly down
the disc AS the pecforations issue
from a set of rollers that hold the disc
In place, the musical notes cores
bonding 20 the perforations are heard.
The sight of the disc and the sound Of
the music make their impression
simultaneously upo the brain of the
child, while he is wrapt in a state of
deep interest. These are the condi-
tons under which permanent ~associa-
tons are always made. Sight and
sound are inseparably bound together
SO that when enc of them is presented,
the other u also come up. The edu-
cational Significance OF his IS only too
apparent to the discerning. The fur
ther problem Is to associate either the
sound or the sight OF the music with
the name and consequently of both
with IL. Thus 1t becomes possible for
the child hearing the name to pick
out the disc or hearing the music to
name the title. The two fac
tors in this that are of most
interest to the psychologist are
the extraordinary power of the
child for registering both sight and
sound impre1;ions of great complexity
and his facut v for making permanent
associations between them. 1t is very
unusual, amounting almost 10 a mys-
terry, for a brain to have such a fine
Elasticity and rare retentiveness as this
child's brain shows. In psychological
language this means the power OF rec
ognition is unusually developed. Per-
haps the most surprising thing liz the
easy facility with which the identifca-
tion or recognition is made. There is
no critical examination when a disc
Is presented; a furitive glance is often
enough for the child TO speak the title.
When hesitation is shown 1t is oftener

Child Mo- a Freak.
The child shows rome OF the signs
OF f~reakishness that often characterize
number prodigies or the stigmata or
weakness that the musical genius pre-
sents. He Is a healthy; norm.l child

AS to Insanity and Genius.

Tho limcligllt Of the press has touched
! York, who, having married man under
] tho impression that he WINS q genius
| later discovered that he was merely IN.
sane. Tho Indy proved fully equal to the
! emergency. She clapped tho deceptive
bridegroom into mn asylum, mud promptly
applied for divorce.
An interesting question arises In this
connection as TO whether both the wo-
| mans estimates of her husband may not
have been correct. Tho gentleman may
conceivably have been now genius, now
insane. The linc Of denlnrcntion between
tho two Is often so slight nssto be inv!s-
iblc to the naked eye Genius Is alb
normal" woman novelist makes ono Of
her characters say; therefore hold that
1t must be abnormal at some period of its
career t6 a
The celebrated lictum that genius Is no
more than the infinite capacity for taking
pains Is scarcely consistent with modern
scientific study OF the brain. In the
course OF his able and Interesting work
on 1.-THE Diseases OF Society,"9 DR.. G. r.
Lydston remarks that '1n the genius the
brain-ccll groups from which certain
facilities emanate are refined ana de-
veloped ut tho expense Of other cell-
groups" Here Is the whole thing con-
dcnsed into a nutshell by twentieth CEN CEN:
fury medicine; Here Is genius shorn of
all mystery and divinity. and degraded
to n mere product OF cerebral physiology.
Or. Lydston also quotes n&his argu"
ment the somewhat startling statement
OF Arthur Macdonald that "the princi-i
pal and extreme forms of human ahnor-
.mality are insanity, genius and crime"
Only a page or two later We read this:
"Clouston holds that there are numerous
examples of persons of insane tempera-
mcnt, whose qualities range from those
OF the inspired idiot to those Of the M
splrcd genius. He claims that Gold
smith, Shelley, Lamb, Cowper, De GUM
cey, Turner md Tasso wero Of insane
temperament
Genius as here understood isfs OF course
not to be confounded WIFI mere '" 49,
in however high degree. In the scien-
tifc acceptation, genius is attributable
10 physlcal, peculiarities In the formation
or malformaton Of the brain; and 1t is
not infrequently correlated. MS Or, Lydts-
toms Illustrations show, with one or
another aspect Of physical degeneracy
OF this point OF view the rudely
awakened lady in New York can be ex-
,pected to know nothing, She only ap-
ynrehcnds that her husband, the quandam
genius, is now too obviously mailman,
From the intimacy Of relationship that
c,lsts between the ''inspired IDIOT ana
the .inspircd genius" she is prots1bly able

Slit seems to me your answer to
I questions OF CIV. c. In your Issue Of
the 18th IN reference TO the multiple

VIII you not kindly answer the follow
Ing IN your Sunday issue?

3 Democratic nomination for United states
senator, was the only member of the
B State Education Board who worked and
voted for. the single book list which was
defea ted, but which, II 1t had been
adopted. would have saved to our citizens
all over the State Of Virginia thousands
Z OF dollars, besides any amount of annoy
ance to mothers, fathers and teachers
rs well as the children themselves and
book dealers all over the State.
2. Is It not an admitted fact that Cover
nor Montague had nothing whatever to do
with the appointment of NIessrs AicGn-
Vray and Thomas and Is It not also n
fact that when Governor Montague's at
tention was called 10 these matters, that
he promptly insisted upon full and
thorough investigation?

what were his reasons? ,
NJ S, FLoYED.
Governor Montague did not veto the
resolution Of the Legislature relative to
the placing of the statue Of General Lee
In the Hall Of Fame, He did not sign
the bill, however, because 1t was repre-
sentcd to him that the family OF General
Lee were opposed to pushing the matter
at this time. The Governor was also In
receipt of great many letters
from prominent ex-confederate sol-
oilers throughout the State. among them
being the late General William H. Payne.
who urged him not to sign the bill. upon
the ground that It would be in bad taste
to place the statue in the hall when there
was objection to 1t.
No one reveres tho name OF Lee more
than the Governor, and he felt confident
that In a few years there would be a
sentiment In the North.in favor OF placing
the statue in tho hall. whereas at the
time OF the passage Of the resolution in
question there was opposition to it.
