GEOLOGICAL NOTES.
What Has Been Done During the
Summer by the Yale Department.
To a geologist vacation time does not
mean rest, but rather a special oppor-
tunity for work. The Summer vaca-
tion in particular offers continuous time
for scientifie work, uninterrupted by
University duties, and is used for ex-
ploration, mapping and collecting of
specimens out of doors and for experi-
ments and the preparation of reports and
scientific articles in the laboratory.
During the past Summer the men
connected with the geological . depart-
ment of Yale have made considerable
progress. At the opening of the season,
the Director of the United States
Geological Survey appointed Prof. Wil-
liams to take charge of working up and
mapping the geology of Connecticut,
east of the 73d meridian. The work to
the west of that line has been nearly
completed by Prof. Hobbs of Wisconsin
University. _
the laboratory work done by Prof.
Williams during the Summer was the
completion of a bulletin on the Geology
of Maine, which includes the petro-
graphical work of Dr. Gregory in the
same region. A report on the “Palzo-
zoic Faunas of Arkansas’ was nearly
completed.
Prof. Penfield made an excursion into
the Catskill Mountains, where mineral
localities were visited. Most of his va-
cation, however, was spent in the labora-
tory, where a great amount of mineralog-
ical work was done and articles on new
minerals prepared for publication.
Prof. Beecher spent the month of July
in Wyoming and Colorado, making col-
lections for the Museum and studying
geological sections. Later in the Sum-
mer he superintended the work of ex-
ploration for remains of a mastodon,
iound years ago in Orange County,
N. Y. Most of the skeleton is now in
the Museum, but the hind legs and the
tusks are missing. It is Prof. Beecher’s
plan to continue the excavation until
the complete skeleton is secured. The
work is difficult and expensive, as the
locality is in the midst of a swamp.
The field work done by Prof. Pirsson
was in New Hampshire, where a study
was made of the igneous rocks at: Bel-
knap Mountains, Red Hill, and in the
vicinity of Campton. The results of the
study of the collections brought back to
the Museum will be given in a paper,
prepared jointly by Prof. Pirsson and
Dr. H. S. Washington. Considerable
time was also spent in cataloguing the
rock collections.
Dr. George F. Eaton, Instructor in
Osteology, devoted part of his vacation
to making a collection of the fossil fish
at Lake Saltonstall. :
Dr. Gregory, Instructor in Physical
Geography, spent the entire Summer in
mapping areal geology under the
auspices of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey. The work was mostly con-
fined to the Granby and Meriden sheets
of the Connecticut topographic atlas.
Dr. Charles H. Warren, Instructor in
Mineralogy, was a member of the party
which made a geological study of the
Yellowstone National Park. When this
party broke up, Dr. Warren spent some
time examining mines and methods of
working ares in Montana and Colorado.
Mr. G. R. Wieland, fellow in Geology,
worked with Dr. Eaton in collecting the
fossils fish at Lake Saltonstall, and later
assisted Prof. Beecher in searching for
the missing parts of the mastodon.
Mr. Wieland’s laboratory work during
the Summer was on fossil turtles.
Mr. Hi. . FY *Clefand. University.
scholar in Geology, has been engaged
collecting fossils and studying strati-
graphic Geology in New York State,
under the direction of Prof. Williams.
He has sent some thirty boxes of fossils
to the laboratory and will devote. the
year to their study.
Mr. Barrell, another University
scholar in Geology, has Spent his vaca-
tion as Assistant on the United States
Geological Survey, engaged in mapping
in the vicinity of Helena, Montana. He
is paying particular attention to igneous
rocks and is expected to: present the re-
sults of his study as a thesis.
Mr. Robinson, a Civil Engineer of the
Sheffield Class of 1895, acted as Assist-
ant to Prof. Hobbs, who is engaged in
mapping the geology of Western Con.
necticut. Mr. Robinson will continue
his studies in the Geological department.
Two men from the Department have
completed their course and occupy posi-
tions elsewhere. Dr. Kindle, who re-
ceived his degree at the last Commence-
ment, is engaged as a member of the
Indiana State Survey. Mr. Hartzell,
who was given a master’s degree, has
accepted a call to the chair of Geology
and Biology in Wesleyan University,
Bloomington, Ill. }

Inauguration Plans,
Professor George P. Fisher will de-
liver the English congratulatory speech
at the Inauguration of President Hadley
in Battell Chapel, October 18.
Graduates who are interested in the
Inauguration are asked to consider
themselves guests of the University
without special invitation. This applies
to all. As it is said elsewhere, some
special invitations have been issued for.
special reasons, but the alumni are, by
- virtue of their graduation, counted on
as among the guests of the occasion.
They will enter the Chapel in the order
of graduation. :
A resume of the Inauguration cere-
monies, with hours and times and places
of the different formalities, will be given
in the next issue of the paper.

Education of the Heart.
[President G. Stanley Hall of Worcester in the
Outlook.)
Instead of training memory ‘by in-
formation studies and of making reason
a center, or even considering motor ac-
tivities as all-important, the education
of the near future will focus upon the
feelings, sentiments, emotions, and try
to do something for the heart, out of
which are the issues of life. It is this
side of our nature which represents the
human race, while the intellect, and
even to a large extent the will, are ac-
quired by each individual. The child,
therefore, is phylogenetically far older
than the adult, because the latter ac-
quires, in the process of growing old,
those mental additions to his make-up
which are, essentially of recent origin.
In heart we are citizens of all time and
spectators of all everits, leading the life
of man, past, present, and future; we
are totalized: while in the intellect we
are pent among the “shades of the
prison-house” where narrow restrictions
specialize.
Now, while the emotive side of our
nature is more hereditary than the in-
tellectual, fuller of that “ancient wealth
and worth” which birth alone chiefly
gives, it is susceptible nevertheless to
the educational influence of the environ-
ment to a degree which till recently has .
hardly been suspected. Fear, anger, love,
joy, sorrow, and the rest are educable,
and have a long plastic period when
they can be formed. The highest educa-
tion, then, is that which focuses the soul
upon the largest loves and generates
the strongest and most diversified inter-
ests, while the worst sort of school is
that which doles out facts and knowl-
edge in such a way as to deaden instead
of stimulate interest, and to inoculate by
a fatal sense of finality and possession
against that inflamed ardor of zest which
has created all knowledge and art in the
world, the development of which is the
highest end and aim of education.
One thing is certain: education inter-
est is everywhere increasing in an almost
appalling way. The last five years have
perhaps seen more of this process of
padagogic renaissance than the pre-
ceding twenty-five; and, if all signs do
not fail, the next few years will be rich
‘years to live in for those interested in
education.

No Fall Games.
Captain Bascom Johnson of the Yale
Atheletic Association has announced
that there will be no Fall games at Yale
this year, and but little training, except |
the development of a cross country
team. This is meant to be a relief to
the track team men who kept in train-
ing half the Summer on account of the
Oxford-Cambridge games.
