Professor Gates has demon
strated this brain building and
mind culture not only in children
and adults, but also in animals.
For one year, for several hours
each day. he trained dogs to dis
tinguish between colors. He did
this by placing several hundred
tin cans painted different colors
in the yard with the dogs and by
placing their food n cans of one
color and by sending an electric
shock to the dogs If they would
touch any can but the right one.
BY methods such as these, end
lessly varied. he taught them to
avoid all pans but the right one,
which they would discriminate
eventually from the hundreds Of
others of all shades, colors and
tints. They could at last distin-
guish between seven shades of
red and seven Of green, and thus
in many ways exhibited more
mentality than any unframed dog,
In the light which these expe-
riments and demonstrations have
cast upon the paths Of life, each
one OF us ought to see an as
cendipg road lying before us, to-
ward unattained heights.

Sense Centers Have

While there is large truth I'M
DERIVING the science OF phrenolo-
gy, the brain building specialists
do not give their hallmark of APP
proyal to that cult, and the sense
centers as now demonstrated by
science are located at quite differ
ent spots In the brain structure
from those assigned to them by
chronology. But sense centers in
the brain have been discovered
and absolutely verified, and In
more than enc or two ways. II
has been established, too, that by
exercising certain part of the
body or one of the sense we are
actually building up brain matter

God created man in His own
image.
He meant man to develop the
Divine qualities and the Divine
powers.
He meant man to have and en-
joy every benefit, delight and
pleasure which this wonderful
world offers; ne meant man to
form a partnership with Nature
and beautify the earth, and to
make this life the ante-room to
larger worlds and fuller lives be-
yond by realizing his eternal part
nership with his Creator. In truth,
Goda meant man to be superhu-
man; a human demonstration Of
Divine possibilities.
There have been many great
men and women on earth, but no
man and no woman who have
been as great and as perfectly
rounded as they might be. That
complete development remains to
be done by the new humanity.

however great and successful and

why not Farragut School?

Superintendent Phillips, the

in the vicinity
1t is not an endowed school.
Every part of the equipment is in,
use, and to some people whS
know the lavish outfits that ar4
provided in certain schools OF the
North. the Farragut School seems
almost pitiful in its sparsity Of
equipment.
But you remember the words
OF David Starr Jordan, who said
THE value OF college Is in I'M
verse ratio to the cost of its
equipment" That is to say, the
people should provide things for
themselves, and that is the big
lesson in, life.
Students here are not pauper-
lied. nor 40 they suffer from pa
ternalism. 1Ghey are lifting them
selves, unde r the kindly guidance
Of most able, generous, simple
and effective teacher
In talking with the State Su-
perintendent of Education Of
Tennessee, he told me that the
endeavor all ov er the State was
now to do AWAY with the little
red schoolhouse and Its lonely
teacher. and to combine several
schools in one.
In Tennessee the re are quite
number Of schools conducted
along the plan of NAhe Farragut
School, and, as the wears go by.
there will be a great many all
over America.
Cooperation Must Prevail
Several teachers working to-
gether can get up an atmosphere
which win permeate and dispel
the fog Of ignorance in ~ COM
munity. They acquire an impe-
tus, as 1t were, a momentum,
which makes for progress. Co
operation must prevail in school
teaching as in other things.
When one thinks of the ihue-
cency and disorder that are often
found around the district school.
one is both surprised and delight
ed to find in a So called litter.
ate district, in the mountains Of
Tennessee, a school where good
order prevails and the rights of
property are respected.
This is "Our School," and the
farmers and their families so re-
gard 1t.
1t is center of light, candle
throwing it's beams to dis
lance.
In pedagogy, as in all else. we
work from the complex to the
simple.
Admiral F arragut, 1t is well to
repeat, was born on a farm near
Knoxville. Here his parents sleep.
He was a mountain boy, of
Scotch parentage, who had a
hungry mind. He entered the
navy as lad of nine years. He
was an errand boy, servant, a
midshipman, lieutenant, cap
tain, a commander. an admiral.
Well have the people of Ten
nessee done honor to Farragut by
naming after him school, and a
school which is 50 simple. SO nat
ural. so effective that 1t has at
tracted, in degree, the atten-
ton Of the teaching world.
