Why Lovers

Quarreling

T HE psychologists have been making special
study of jealousy. According TO their latest
definition, jealousy is just love With the engine
reversed.
If you tell lover that he is Jealous because he
has to speak. reversed his engine of love- he will
think joshing him; but that, according to the
latest scientific research is just his complaint
Jealousy is pain while love IS pleasure, but both
impulses governed by the brain centres.
These brain centres work Violently the heart

jealousy may upset the entire nervous system and,
through it, all OF the bodily functions reaching
to the stomach and the processes of digestion.
What is termed love Is accounted fer upon psyche

centres, acting sometimes excitant upon the
vagus nerve, but When satisfied and gratihed has a

nerve

Opening of

Every available space in the
large auditorium was occupied
and many of the students had
to stand during the exercises.
The Scripture was read by
Rev. j. D. Holler; prayer by
Rev. d. w. Hiott.
Prof. w. w. Benson, princi-
pal Of the school, made an ear
nest plea for continued cooper
alton, He outlined the plan
which he and his assistants de-
sired to carry out, and appealed
to parents to help them to make
the plans effective. He men
toned that if the principles of
Christianity were not taught in
the school, then the teaching
was a failure. How true that
is, and how thankful we ought
to be that we have Christian
teachers in our schools to teach
our children by precept and ex-
ample.
