Mrs. F Schwedler Bornea, the presiden eon-

d'jcted the nveting. The feature of the afternoon

wi» the paper on "Psychology in Education." hyMrs. Bophla McClelland, vice-chairman of the

Medieo-Legal Boelet] Among other», Mrs Mc¬

Clelland said: "Every man has two father·.or*

do depends on what the first has dono. Childhoodshould be eurrounded srlth every Influence, both In

of life, not the cause of It. During long sutscea-

slon of years brains have been developing from

the simplest convolution to the highest typo

evolved, until we hold to-day the advanced posi¬tion we now occupy. At no time in the world's

history has mind held so high a place, and at no

time in the future will it occupy so low a pía es BJ

row. The power of the comics brain will far exceed

anything th" world ha-, yet known. Braln-bulld·ing Is tho science of the future, and we do not

doubt that the human brain of ten thousand years

hence will produce Ideas far beyond the capacity of

the hest piece of thought mechaniam uf the

; Bl nt time."Mrs McClelland then emphasised the faci thu

ord-r to bring about the best and highest ,!· velop*ment One's faculties expand mor·· fully and

freely under a bright, sunny cheerfulness and iti-

fluenee.Mrs. M.-Clelland was followed by Mrs. Alma

Henaley. who read an encellen! paper on tho rear·

¡ng and training of children. "Boys and »-'tris

both should he told by ine parents the great ques¬tiona concerning life and its reproduction," said

Mrs Henaley, "aa »soon ..s they ara old »m igh to
