't Free 1'arlia orient. : SMTOR EDUCATIONAL DEPT>-~I am pleased to see a response to the invita­ tion given out a fewweeks since for some one interested In the study of language to furnish deitnitions of cer­ tain specified words in common use* There are several good points in the analysis of sensation and perception to which I here allude--and some defects. As this is a "Free Parliament" gotten np for literary purposes, to encourage aud develop independent thinking, and accurate verbal expression on all mat­ ters coming under consideration. 1 pro­ pose to call attention to said defects to the end that all may be benefited. The analysis begins thus: "Sensation, in Its primary signification, is that condi­ tion of consciousness which arises from some impression made on the body through an organ of sense." Evidently this is not what the writer intended to aay. An impression made on the body through an organ of sense, is nonsense-- mere confusion of Idean--inasmuch as an organ ol sense is body, that is to say, bodily substance. The phrase, through an organ of sense, is expletive and tantolngical; hence It vitiates the defi­ nition, which definition, as a prelimin­ ary aud general statement, was com­ plete without It. If W. had eaid. "Sensation, in its primary signification U that condition of consciousness which arises front some impression made on the tentorium through an organ of flense," the meaning would be clear, the Statement correct, aud the sentence harmoniously rounded out. Again: *feut when this feeling (sensation) •rises from the intervention of some external cause, we have perception. Tills is nat what the writer should have paid, nor what he intended to say, as lg avidenc, from what Immediately fol­ low# in this connection. He probably i: Intended to say something like this-: *But when this feeling, which arises jTrom the intervention of some external 7 ,$aiise, is associated In consciousness with the cause, we h*ve perception." ^Dnce more: "Perception then, is ap^ • prehension by the mind of the exciting : cause of the sensation." Why say apprehension by the mind t Apprehen- , 0Ion In Its psychological sense. Is mind ' In on* of its states of manifestations, ./ « ©f course then, the phrase the mind. ;# ts tautological--a rhetorical snperflui ty. % ••Which is some quality or property of " material thing", or of something cog­ nizable by some one or other of the ffenses whether material or not." In fills member of the definition is involv­ ed a proposition which we think should | .*ot pass without challenge. According to this statement, perception, in its primary sense, may supervene upon sensation independent of any material fgent. that is to say, a sensation of see lug may exist when nothing materia] Is seen. But how can it immaterially |>e cognized as a perception when none •f the senses lias been aftecteil ? Under­ stand, we-are here speaking of percep­ tion In its primary sense, and in this MOM, perception presupposes auteced- , vSK'.. w ent sensation;and sensation, HSliE re­ quires some corporal excltor. The truth is, the idea of Immateriality is not cognizable In this fashioit. At a conception It might possibly be appre­ hended. But If ever it readies the intellect at all, it n»n*t seek some otlte • channel than that or sensorial percep­ tion. . The witeli of Eudor Illustration is equivocal; however, the implication is that W. contemplates the prophet Samuel. In this connection, as an un­ substantial phantom--a vagary of the brain--or ttllow us so to conteniplato lilro;yet, at the same time, claims this unreal apparition .as a veritable object of perception to Saul. Now, in this story, Samuel was resurrected and ap­ peared in person or he did not. If he did, then the Idea of perception in the premises Is valid; If lie did not, then the conviction arising in Saul's mind was a hallucination, and no per­ ception at H',1. One more remark and we will dismiss the subject: MIn its secondary sense,perceptiot is cognition or apprehension of abstract truth, or what is asMimed as truth, in the domain of reason..speculation, calculation, or mathematics:" Here we j»v« the two words, calculation and mathematics.-- synonymous hi this connection--when one was sufficient for the purposes of specification. According to Webster, the primary meaning of calculation is HTo ascertain or determine by mathe­ matical processes, usually by the ordi­ nary rnkri of arithmetic " When deal­ ing with exact ideas, where the sharp­ est distinctions are called for, any Surplusage is an intrusion. KSCKLSIO*. ALGONQUIN, Mav Htta, 188X County Superintendent Baldtein, DEAR SIR :--Af ter learning something of the Examinations conducted by you throughout the County this Spring, 11 felt called upon to express my very hearty approval of your course in rais­ ing the standard Of qualifications some­ what. But believing that a principal of a public school should be a represen­ tative uiau in all that pertains to educational matter. I delayed writing until I could feel sure tiiat this com­ munity would endorse my opinion. And.now permit me to say. that with­ out any exceptions, your course in this matter is most heartily endorsed by all friends of education in this section, and more particularly by those who are In­ terested in making the public school what it should be. As compared with other counties in this state--counties that are considered representative ones in school matters--we do not feel that the present standard is high; but we do feel that your action in raising it even so much, is worthy of praise. The parent who would submit the maral training of his child to a teacher who had received no moral training would be justly censured; and it is rea­ sonable to assume that the teacher who undertakes to develop and train the child mentally and, in a sense, physi­ cally. shall possess the necessary quail* 1 flea lions. Under our present school economy in Illinois, the county superin tendent is the sole judge in this matter aud it is very gratifying to know that McHenry County has a superintendent who dares maintain what he knows to be right. Hoping that this expression of opiti Ion will be accepted in as geuerous a spirit as it Is offered, I remain Yonrs, Etc., R. H. RKNME, Principal.
