We all know the description Of the
snakes in Ireland: There are none, Z"
and much the same might be said
about the roads in China. There are
so-cailed roads, certainly, upon which
the people move about, but ] have
seldom met one that was any better
than the surrounding country, and
very, very often on this journey
met roads where It was ease and lux
ury to move off them on to the neigh
boring plowed field The recipe for
a road there in the North seems to
be: Take a piece Of the country that
is really too bad to pillow or to use for
any agricultural purposes whatever,
that a mountain torrent, in fact,
has given up as too much for the
water, upset a stone wall over it, a
stone wall with good large stones In it.
take care they never for moment lie
evenly, and you have a road.-Wide

THE SELF The SOUL
Thing That Is Ever Apart From
the Physical Body.
Every Act Linked With lts Purpose,
and We Have No Right to Ask
lts Causes, ls Great Think
er's Conclusion.

As soon as purposive psychology is
acknowledged as a full-nedged sci
enoe we cannot go very far without
discovering that it leads US straight
to the old idea Of the soul We under
stand the meaning OF a thought or
memory or win act by linking it with
the aim toward which It points, and
this inner forward movement is under
stood as the act of self What do we
know of this self? One thing above
all-it is perfectly free. We saw that
in this whole world Of meaning every
thing is completely understood as soon
as every act is linked with its pur-
pose, hence we have no right at all
to ask for cause. It has no subcon-
scious causes, and it has no brain
causes. The mere inquiry after its
causes would falsify It's status II has
not causes any more than It has
weight or color Its whole reality lies
in its purposiveness, and this detach-
ment from any possible cause, this
completeness in itself, is the funda-
mental freedom Of the self which
stamps It as q soul.
Moreover. for the casual psycholo-
gist, whether he be of the subcon-
scious or Of the physiological temper.
mental life is a multitude Of elements.
The parts of the mind are externally
linked, but they remain separate men
tai atoms. In the world with which
the purposive psychologist is con-
eerned one act is internally bound up
with another. one idea means another.
one thought refers to another. and
every single act points backward to
the self which expresses its meaning
in its purposive deeds. This is a self
which Is not mere pile Of psyehieal
dolngs, but which really asserts itself
as the same in every new act, Every
thing which springs from it is in
volved in its selfhood.
This soul, finally. cannot be depend
ent upon the beginning and the end.
upon the days and the hours of the
physical body. It expresses itself
through the body, and the sense or
gans determine the selection Of OBJ
iects toward which it takes its atti-
tudes, but the soul Is neither in the
time nor in the space Of the physical
molecules. If we seriously ask. How
can we describe the souls" we must
learn to recognize the absurdity of
the very question. Every description
refers to an object. but the essential
meaning Of the soul is that it is never
an object, but always a subject, al
ways a self, always an aetion.-Hugo
Munsterberg, in the North American
Review.

That the Mississippi State Bankers
Association will do all that they pos
sibly and consistently can to coope-
rate with the farm demonstration
workers, merchants and others inter
ested in the all-important matter Of
finding markets for surplus products,
is evident. This spirit of cooperative
sympathy was made manifest to C. A.
Cobb, assistant farm demonstration
agent, who was one Of the leaders in
promoting the joint conference Of July
%, in a telegram which he has re-
ceived. This telegram was from Thos.
H. Dickson. secretary Of the Missis-
sippf Bankers Association, who wired
that the association would give sup
port to the movement.

ket movement. has gone to Yicksburg
