cient. The little ones are neat in ap
pearance and intelligent. They attend

Professor Grimes' Lecture
In continuing tin- aeries of lectures
on the application of psychology to re
ligious teaching Professor Gaines dis
cussed “The Training of the Feelings.
The speaker called attention to the
fact that the importance of the emo
tional life had been generally under
rated and this accounts for the fall -
Vre to give attention to the training
of the feeling life at all comparable
to that which we bestow on the intel
lectual life. He said:
“The feelings give tone and color to
the whole mental life and give us our
a- ose of values. The thought life asks,
Ms B true?' while the feeling life asks
the question. Is it worth while?' Thus
our feelings determine for each of us
whether life is or Is not worth living,
f he feeling life lies much deeper in
the nature than the thought life and
changes much more slowly. Feeling
and thought are constantly working to
gether, one being the driving power
and the other doing the guiding. They
• are somewhat like the engine and the
■trerlng gear in an automobile
“Training the feelings Is a delicate
and difficult matter. We cannot get at
the feelings directly, but . must In
fluence them In Indirect ways. Much of
this is done through suggestion.
, “The purpose of the feeling, as has
’ hocn said. Is to furnish the driving
power. But If It does not drive It has
no right to exist. Feeling clamors for
expression. When, therefore, we stir
the feeling by some appropriate thought
or act It should then be given right mo
tor response, else the feeling will evap- j
cste or take a wrong direction, thus
•Tiber weakening the life or pervert
ing It."
Dr. Carver in his lecture this morn
ing on “Religion in Inuiu." hhM that
India possessed various and contra
dictory theologies as to forms of wor
ship and that hardl.c any belief of re
ligious life was lacking In India, or*
the three hundred millions of people
more than two-thirds adhere to the
Rr&hmanlc faith, and, he said. that
these were united by principles'*- of
thought and worship by a social sys
tem which was elaborate and that op
pression was thoroughly established.
Outside of the Hindu faith there are

WAR WILL EFFECT
FLOWER LOVER
Millions of Bulbs Which Usually
Come Over In September Will
Not Arrive
Rovers'of flowers will be indirect suf-1
ferers next winter on accoun^of the war.
Florists pointed out yesterday, that mil
lions of bulbs which usually come over
from Europe in September will probably
not get across this year.
"The war means that bulbs will be
mighty scarce," said John R. Parker,
"and that there will be few hyacinths
and narcissus and similar favorites. The
bulbs are practically all produced in
Holland, Belgium and France and none
are en route this early."

I WAR PUTS THE STEEL
MARKET IN HANDS OF
AMERICAN SELLERS
A Condition of Suspended
Animation Prevails In
Most Directions
New A ork, August 6.—There were a
few indications today of reviving ac
tivity in finance and industry, but in
most directions a condition of suspend
ed animation prevailed.
From the steel trade came reports of
higher prices and a more active in
quiry. The war created a wall more
effective than any tariff in keeping
Gill foreign steel. As a result the steel
market here is in the hands of Amer
ican sellers. Prices on the Pacific coast
were reported to have advanced $3 a
ton with increases of^l in other do
mestic jnarkets. Mill operations in
scqrie cases were being increased.
Distribution of emergency currency
to New York banks continued, hut the
banks made no urgent demands and
the money went out slowly.
Efforts were made today at a meet
ing of bankers vand bond dealers to
stop outside dealings in bonds during
the period of the stock exchange sus
pension. It was decided to curtail such
tiansactions, leaving to the discretion
of each house its course of action.
New York bankers received many in
quiries from interior banks regarding j
tiie value of stock exchange securities
as collateral for loans. These banks
were advised to hold loans secured by
slock exchange collateral until the ex
change reopens.
The stock exchange has r emoved re
strictions regarding private trading to
the extent of permitting members to
close up such transactions as were car
ried over from last Thursday where
this was mutually advantageous, or
could be done without tiie aid of fresh
certification or new leans from baqks.
In a word the exchange is encour
aging the adjustment of outstanding
transactions, especially where they in
volve impaired margins which custom
t rs may find themselves unable or un
willing to strengthen. It is opposed to
any dealing of a speculative character,
including the purchase of stocks or
margin, however adequate, and pro
hibits the public quoting of stocks by
its members, some of whom, it is
known, have submitted tentative prices
< n inquiry.
Jasper, August 6.—(Special.)-Superin
tendent of Education A. S. Scott is plan
ning to put a new department in the
rural schools of this county. He states
it is the plan of the educational depart
ment of the county to. give a course in
manual training in at least 25 or 3u of
the rural schools. This new department
will be added without a special teacher
ns he will employ for these schools teach
ers who have had that training in their
educational work. It is believed tiie work
will take well with the rural schools
and besides making the school work more
interesting will be a great help to the rural
student who can so easily apply such
training.
