HUGO Mmnsterberg

Il would be unreasonable 60 Judge the
late Hugo Nunstcrbcrg by comparison
with the leading philosophers and psy-
biologists of his time. tie cannot, for in
stance. be cassed in the speculative field
with such n man as his colleague,
William James, nor. indeed, is 1t possible
to count him in any sense among the
great and original thinkers in his own
sphere. lie was rather an apt and intelli-
gent student, well informed in his pro-
fessiop, thoroughly acquainted with what
others were doing to advance the sciences
TO which nc devoted his thought and
energy, with = rare knack, above all at
making difficult things easy and entertain
ing TO the unlearned.
He was long engaged in original in
vestigations in experimental psychology,
but it was principally as a teacher that
he made his name. And he was q popular
teacher until his persistent efforts to ex-
plain Germany had alienated him from
most of his colleagues and disciples. lie
was proud to call himself German, and,
as he said himself, he never intended to
lie anything else" Yet he declined the
chair Of philosophy at Konigsbcrg, be-
leving. no doubt, that he had better op-
rortunities at Harvard for the exercise
Of his particular talents.
There is no doubt about his skill in
popularizirg. His various books on the
psychology of everyday life and the ap-
plcadon Of psychology TO law, education,
ETC., are highly entertaining, sometimes of
necessity superficial, occasionally little
spectacular, bat always amusing and well
adapted to the taste Of the general reader
eager for q smatterng Of the latest dis
coyeries in science.
It would not be fair to dismiss him
merely as a purveyor OF odds and ends
from the laboratory. But his work in this
kind was sl;ilful, and nowadays, when our
magazines are loaded with ignorant OK
positions Of Freud and Jung and every
whittier is dwelling about the "scx-com-
plex" and the theory Of dreams, it is well
to remember that Professor Munsterberg
was never a mere caterer to prurient
curiosity or the vulgar love of wonders.

a Glimpse Of the Beyond

r. was remarked the other day, py way
of commentary or Sir a. Conan Doyle &
exucctation Of a revival Of spiritlsm when
neace returns. that at is the berea'ed
who have always proved the most ready
converts 20 a conception of immortality
which carries with il q promise of com
munion with those who have died An
carly recognition of the possibilities oi
these distracted times is found in the an
nouncements Of Sir Oliver Lodges new
hook. which is advertised as one likely to
comfort the many who have lost hnsmen
or friends in the war. Sir Oliver Lodge IS
one Of them. He has long been a believer
in the possibility Of convcrsing with the
spirits of the dead, but the death Of ms
own son, who was killed in action, has
enabled him TO realize fully the consoia-
ton Of his belief. and it is evidently to re
assure others and to strengthen their hopes
that he gave this book TO the world.
HIS sincerity is shown in the frank man
uer in which he sets forth futile converse
tons he has had through mediums with
various spirits, but it cannot be said that
the glimpses he gives US Of the next world
are particularly inspiring. And yet 1t may
comfort some who are much bound TO
things OF the earth TO be assured that the
transition is not sbrupt; that the departed.
Il thew carry with them some Of their
earthly desires, are not compelled to leave
them ungratifed. One spirit assured Sir
Oliver that not few came over from our
world with n great thirst and called for
whiskey and soda. Don't think added
the ghost earnestly, that I'm stretching
the point when ! tell you that they can
manufacture even that
As to the process employed in meeting
the demands OF gross tastes we get but
vague hint in the remarkable story Of q
newcomer who crsved q smoke. Here it
is as it came to Sir Oliver from the here
after:
A chan came over the other day who
would have cigar. That's finished
them" he thought. lie means he thought
they would never be able 20 provide that
Bat there are laboratories over here, and
they manufacture all sorts OF things IN
them. Not like you do, out OF solid mat
ter. but out Of essences and ethcrs and
eases. It's not tie same as on the earth
plane, but they were able to manufacture
what looked like q cigar. He didn't try
one himself because he didn't care TO-;
YOU know he wouldn't want 20. But the
other chap jumped at it, But when he
began 70 smoke it he didn't think so much
Of it; he had four altogether, and now he
doesn't look at one. They don't seem 20
get the same satisfaction out Of IL, so
gradually it seems to drop from them.
Sir Oliver Lodge apprehends that his
readers may think this sort Of stuff trivial
as intelligence from the world to come, so
he remarks deprecatingly that it ''is at
least humorous" Perhaps some may think
it so. but the taste for humor varies, and
it is TO be feared that many will think IT
merely silly. This is indeed no argument
against the genuineness Of the information
received concerning the next world; only
supposing that information 70 be correct,
it is to be feared many Will find but little
consolation in the assurance Of immor-
tality.

Il was most my life 70 dream and sing
Away on the upland plain.
Where heard the silver cowbeils ring

And girls came up from the little town
with a song and their lips for me-
To CLEAN when the golden corn was down
And love while The world was free.

They fettered him with ioathsome PACK
And fastened gun in his hands,
That he who had reaped should bend his back
To SOW mems Blood on the lands.
They moved him down ia the sleep o. youth
When his dreams were st begun,
And his body lies for the jackals tooth
And rots in the harvest sun.
