having originated the idea, but when one
of his staff suggested it as an experiment
ne recalled what ne had seen in Ireland
and the plan was Immediately put into
practice. The results more than exceeded
expectation.
Tea that had been stepped for about two
DAYS was used with soft coal. After the
fire had had good start, the tea was
,oured over it. The fire burned brightly,
but the coal was not consumed as rapidly
as under ordinary circumstances. Il fact,
il was definitely proved that only two
thirds Of tle normal amount Of fuel was
burned up.

Encouraging Self-Directed Tenden-

DR.. Healy is an unfagging advocate OF

Kind And on almost every page of his
most recent writing appears emphasis
mon the vital need of getting behind sp-
nearances to the causes which created

lie observes;
ay,uch reliance has always been placed
MON the idea that admonition and punish

observations show the very great failure OF
ts.s methods. No thoroughly effective

In approaching practical study Of de-
Hnouency, Dr.. Healy writes, "the main
situation to be comprehended is that the
human mind is an immensely complex or
ganism. and that if we are to cope with
It's conduct-producing powers we must
know them. Obstacles to knowledge may
be encountered, but form no excuse if they
are not insurmountable. After ALL he
goes on to say, "in at least fairly intelh-
gent and young individuals our experience
shows that the deep-lying essentials may
usually be ascertained. The task requires
skill in appropriations and discernments'
and acquaintance with special methods;

serious human problem deserves"

that institutional people, by vocation en-
