Houston, M. A. was then called upon to de-
liver his lecture on "Educational Maxims."
He pointed out that men had always been

and should deal with the intellectual, physi-
cal, moral, and teethed() natures of man, He
maintained that all practical Edo. was aleo
ineellectual and he believed that the time
would come when our system of Edo. would
be far more practical and even manual than that ivInch isOoken about, and what is said
it now is. Turning then to self -culture, and about it. Tie next step is to get out that
