KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JAsTRow.

accomplishment, and Imagination
phase of It, The eye becomes an aid to
memory. A picture Is note, count u
score, road to travel becomes map.
Whether scratched on the sands or
hewn on the rocks, the mental process
Of the record, the idea Is the same.
Yet the native and universal form OF
and that constitutes its supremacy.
Speech Is vocal and addressed to the
ear. Sounds have emotional meaning,
because man has a voice. A cry, an
appeal. threat, laugh, sob, are
auditory. They form the most intimate
LANGUAGE. never to be superseded, be-
cause the complete personality Is con-
veyed by this original means.
Music Is Of like origin and meaning.
Consequently all education was until
modern days a matter OF learning by
the ear. On the time clock of culture
even picture writing was late, and
until the invention of printing. Print
ing has done more TO throw the EN-
phasis of learning upon the eye than
has any other invention. Photography
Is close second.
And now In our own dag the rivalry
or. better, the complementing Of ear and
eye-has proceeded to coflauests that
would have seemed fantastic and I'M
possible to an earlier generation The
limitation Of the range of the human
voice was conquered by the telephone,
now extended overseas to continents.
Equally sound has been made to leave

graph, until recently a communication
In words, has been applied TO pictures,
and even to objects In the fnarvels Of
television. This, with the popularity Of
motion pictures. Is all to the increased
glory Of the eye. Distance has been
conquered, the world is brought to your
door, and men read and see In one day
events that happen at distance that
would have been a voyage Of months in
former centuries.
But the ear has its later and complet-
ing triumph in the radio. The human
voice and all the riches Of song and
music, the eternal human message Of
the spoken word, flies over the earth on
wireless wings and Aladdin is outdofle
It's marvellous story of human ingefiu-
ity. and the psychological side of IL Is
that 1t Is all In the interest Of human
solidarity. annihilating space, bringing

of seeing and hearing With 1t the
brotherhood Of man should be brought

Rivalry Of Eve and Ear.

the actual world. as we'll as to that of
dreams and fantasy and imagination.
A man OF vision sees beyond the iirlme-
diate and the present. Sightseeing APP
plies to a wider experience than the
sights" shown to visiting strangers. To
be a good observer is a fundamental
requisite for complete mental fitness.
But the ear is q close rival of the eye
and each is sovereign in its own domain.
They are more compliments than ri
walls Hearing has the more intimate
psychology. as will duly appear. 1t
would be idle to discuss whether blind
ness or deafness Is the more serious
loss, so diverse are the deprivations
which they entail.
In the older days men were content
to see what was within range of the
eyes. But to explore what was either
too far or too small to see was ever an
invitation to the revelation OF another
world. which until the sixteenth century
remained invisible. Then were invented
the microscope and the telescope, and
so the human senses were extended and
new worlds revealed And still the
search went on to see and conquer other
invisible worlds
