But we have started upon the long journey, and we shall get there. "The internal secretions constitute and determine much of the inherited powers of the individual and their development. They control physical and mental growth, and all the metabolic processes of fundamental importance. They dominate all the vital functions of man during the three cycles of life.
Yet it is that part of his functions, the part which appeals most to vanity, that he exercised with the most sparing caution. He saw that it was not in emendation but in interpretation that the critic could now be most useful.

It is rather a complex thing resulting from the combined action of many brain centres, and, on the mental side, of many so-called faculties, or functions. Furthermore, as may be surmised, the reading of musical notation requires the visual centre, just as does the reading of words.

Has patriotism been better protected? Have factions been more timid? Or the country more happy?
