174 THE LOCOMOTIVE. [November, to the third, which cut through two of the sutures. In several cases the partial or com- plete absorption of the plates and spongy substance between them is an evidence of the survival of the patient. In one skull the bone was plainly diseased, and suo-o-ests the possibility that the orifices were caused by decay, instead of artificially. In others the signs of previous cranial fracture are evident. In the head of a mummy the skull had been fractured by a blow, after which the scalp had been laid open and trepannin

To the physical body loud is of value ouly when it is digested. So it is in the mind, with mental food; but if digestion were made continuous, perfect, and ever equal to tin; supply of food, overfeeding in either mind or body would be impossible. But in the education of to-day the digestion is not equal to the feeding. "The greatest educational need of the individual is a trained mind-— a mind that is ready on the instant — not the next day. With most persons the intellectual bril- liancy, the proper thing to say, comes as an after-thought. An after-thought is but a beautiful possibility designed to fit a lost opportunity. It is no more helpful to a man than a Mattering epitaph on his tombstone. With most persons this wit is like a night telegram,— it is not delivered until the next morning. Man expects his hand to be instantly ready to perform any motion of which it is capable; but he is resigned if his mind does not act quickly. He says that readiness is born with people; it cannot be acquired. If a man's heart, lungs, or stomach are weak, he consults specialists, ami never gives up until he obtains relief. But if he cannot remember names or faces; if he is subject to that intellectual remorse known as after-thought; if he has no eye for color, or taste for music; if he has no command of language; if there is lack of power in any respect in his mind, lie is perfectly resigned, and says, ' I am as God made me, ami so I must remain.' When man fails he always does this. He says, ' I am as God made me; 1 but when he succeeds, he proudly proclaims himself a ' self-made man.' It is not necessary to submit to any mental weakness. Training will do even more for the mind than for the body." Mr. Jordan's entire article is well worth perusal, and we regret that we cannot quote it in full. His method for the study of English, for example, is superior to anything that we have seen in the schools and colleges. "Constant training in wards," he says, " is a vital part of mental training. Words are but symbols for mental images. . There can be no clear expression if there is not clear thinking. One great failure in our education is that there is too much memorizing of mere words, instead of memorizing of mental images or pictures that these words call forth. Words should be looked upon as living things; phases, rather than merely studied to be studied in themselves, in all their forms and about. We should have laboratory work in words. Mere study of synonyms from books will do but little real good; the words must be studied in life. I have found classes intensely interested and quickened for an hour or more in the stud} 7 of a few lines of newspaper writing; perhaps but a criticism of some famous man of the day. It was studied word for word. If any word was adjudged strong or fitting, the reason why it was fitting in that situation was discovered; if it was weak, it what respect it was weak. If it meant more or less than the thought required ; if it suggested an association or an element not in harmony, another word was substituted. In this was something higher than mere dogmatic, individual criticism; for be the word good or bad the choice must be justified. The critical and the imaginative faculties of mind were trained together; for every substitution of a new word was an appeal to the imagination sustained by the judgment. wondrously quick to perceive the force of a word, its music, Thus, the ear became its fitness. Words of color were studied; words of size, and number, and form; words expressing the extremes of ideas; words expressing differing degrees of intensity of the same quality; the power of short words; onomatopes; We words of every class, looked at from every point of view. . . . have many teachers in our schools, and professors in our colleges, who value words, and seek to teach in this spirit, so far as the rigidity of the system will permit; but this is not enough. This study of words is so vital an element in the training of the mind that it should be begun in the very earliest classes, and never be lost sight of in the whole school and college training of the individual. Compositions are written by the pupils, and returned to them with a few red ink interlineations and corrections of mis-spelled words, mispunctuation, wrong capitalization, or errors in syntax, and but the occasional substitution of a better word. One hour's study of words before a class, from any one of these compositions, would be worth more than a whole term of the usual work."
