specifically delegated to direct all the actions in writing. 

 This "writing center", as it is called, is located near the 

 speech center and if these cells who have the writing busi- ,, 

 ness in charge are injured the individual will not be able 

 to write a word and all his knowledge of the art will be 

 entirely lost. It is the same with any other centers or 

 specifically trained cells in your head. If they are in- 

 jured or destroyed, that particular work or faculty will 

 thereby be lost to the individual. The brain is simply a 

 bunch of centers, each center or bunch of cells having 

 charge of their particular department of work. When you 

 kill or remove those individuals, their work ceases with 

 their destruction or removal. When we first learned to 

 write or walk the sense cells had charge of it, but as we 

 became more efficient other cells took charge and learned 

 it and finally relieved the sense cells of the work, so that 

 they could do something else. 



When life is correctly understood, all these theories 

 about irritability, excitability, emotion, automatism, reflex 

 action, intuition, instinct, etc. become perfectly clear and 

 it can be seen that they are all the same thing, and that 

 they are all intelligent actions coming from differently 

 situated cells. How the cell, matter and force came into 

 the world we do not yet clearly know, but we do know, 

 however, how plants and animals come into the world 

 because we can see the actions of the builders that pro- 

 duce them, which we were not able to do some years ago 

 when we were compelled to say that they simply grew. 

 By virtue of his intelligence, man is able to control and 

 direct matter and force so as to effect results such as 

 houses, ships and cities, and in an analogous manner, we 

 find the cell is able to control matter and force in the 

 universe so as to cause the structures we call plants and 

 animals. We can only deal with these things we see and
