THE HUMAN BRAIN.
II Neither Originates a Word No

Il Neither Originates Word Nor
Forms Notion.
Those physiological and surgical
facts which show that brain matter
has itself no capacity for thought are
of such recent discovery that only Il
relatively small number of persons
mostly specialists-have the least ilea
that the brain neither originates Al
word nor forms notion. Anatomy
and physiology alike indicate that the
brain is never other than the iustru-
ment of what-in the present state Of
science-must be called the personal
ity." The personality is as different

Man makes one Of his brain hemi.

human personality entered a young
chimpanzee's brain-where, by the
way, it would find ali the required
cerebral convolutions-that ape could
then grow into a true inventor or phi
losopher for it is the great man who
makes the great brain and not the
great brain which makes the great
man. This is another way of saying
that we can make our own brains-SO
far as special functions or aptirudes
are concerned. Human brain matter
does not become human in its powers,
indeed, until the personality within
takes it in hand to fashion it,
What is the "he himself which thus
takes the mechanism known as the
brain and uses it for thought purpose

Thomson, ia effect. we have here The
greatest mystery connected with the
conscious personality. We know that
the conscious PERSONAL---VERY. whatever
one pleases TO call it-has material
organ to think with. The conscious
personality does the thinking. The
material organ is the instrument OF
thought, and that material organ exists
in two symmetrical halves. 1t is only
one-half of this organ, however, which
can be used for speech or for recogniz

therefore are acquired by modification
of the material comprising the speak

half of the brain did not originally have
