.30 THE NORMAL ADVANCE Chapel Talks FRANCIS M. STALKER I. WILLIAM JAMES. The recent death of Professor William J ames removed from the educational world a com- manding hgure. For more than a quarter of a century Professor J ames has charmed and en- lightened the public as a teacher, a psychologist and a philosopher. He has seldom, if ever, been surpassed in his felicity of expression on what are commonly regarded as technical and abstract subjects. He was at the same time an earnest student7 a profound scholar and a great teacher. He possessed in a marked degree three qualities that are essential to the successful stu- dent, scholar, and teacher-aopenemindedness, sincerity and sympathy. He sought after the truth and was interested in every phase of human experience. He ap- proached every problem and investigated all phenomena with a mind open to conviction. He sneered at no belief and scoffed at no theories, but accorded to every man and every movement the privilege of free thought, and the opportunity to demonstrate the truth of any claims that were made. His open-mindedness was probably best shown in his work with the Society for Psychical Research in its attempt to communicate With spirits of the other world. And while in his frank way he admitted that after years of research no progress had been made, he was still willing to study and to weigh any phenomena looking toward the solution of this problem, and to lend his aid seriously to experimentation toward this end. Doubtless it was this spirit of open-mindedness that made men and women everywhere believe in him and anticipate with delight any new word from him. Sineerity, as was perfectly natural, accom- panied his spirit of open-mindedness and was always present in his search for the truth. He was thorough and scientific in his investiga- tions. He had no pet theories to defend, and so he went where truth as he was given to see the truth led him. Men and women believed always in his fairness and his words had weight with them. His students and those who worked with him say he was sympathetic and kind-admirable qualities for a teacher and well calculated to inspire confidence, and to stimulate the largest endeavor. Possibly these qualities in the man and teach- er enabled Professor J ames to do for his stu- dents everywhere that greatest thing that any teaoher can do for his studentseteach them to think. This may be considered the great work that he did in the world, and this has been the great work of every great teacher in all time. His position in the history of education is se- cure. As student, teacher, psychologist, philo- sopher, lecturer, and writer he excelled, and his infiuence is likely to endure. II. J ULIA WARD HOWE. A woman who has been a force in our na- tional life for over a half century has just passed away in her ninety-second year. It seems almost incredible that one who did her work in the middle of the nineteenth century with Emerson, Lowell, Whittier, Hohnes7 Phil- lips, Sumner, Hawthorne, Stone, and the rest of that splendid group of men and women who wrought for righteousness, should have lingered
