ualized Persons who gain their notions
In this manner do not think it necessary
actually to observe what effect the study
OF any subject has upon an individual,
whether as fact it exalts him spiritually
or debases him; whether it makes him
more OF friend to his fellows or Gull
tivates unsocial and selfish attitudes. He
infers that certain result must follow
from the study Of any branch because Of
the nature Of the material learned
The principle under consideration can
be illustrated further by referring to the
methods employed in an earlier day in
the study of the parts of speech in chill
dren's language. Men like Hale and
Others wrote down the words an eighteen.
months old child, say, used in his daily
expressions. Then they went to work
and classified these words according to
their grammatical properties, so that they
found that GO per cent. OF the words
child used were nouns, 20 per cent were
adJectives and SO on. Then they in

is this man, and there are OTHERS like
him, had only vague know ledge OF the
thing he was talking about.
Take, for instance, the view held by
some older writer's, that it is debasing to
study what is to-day called natural
science, because of the baseness of phys
ical objects, one who studies these things
will take on their qualities. On the other
hand, if the individual in his education

we appreciate that the outward form of
a word does not furnish clear evidence

The only effective way to determine
