950 The Relations of Mind and Matter. [October, 
In this connection a consideration of great importance and in- 
terest arises. It is certainly a singular fact that in the very exact 
/transmission to the germ of minute features in the physical organ- 
ization of the parent, the mental organization is never transmitted 
except in its basic characteristics. Every organ of the body is 
reproduced, with all its powers inherent. The cerebrum is repro- 
duced and develops in company with the other organs. The fact 
that these organs are functionally copies of those of the parent 
proves that the reproduction is not only of material form but of 
the parental motor conditions. . This equally applies to the cere- 
brum, whose motor conditions should fully reappear in its devel- 
opment. Yet if these motor conditions are the powers of the 
mind they certainly do not reappear. In every individual a new 
mind has to be built up. The body, cerebrum and all, may attain 
its full development and the mind remain in its germinal state. 
Evidently it is a constituent of the individual alone, and not a 
something that may be hereditarily transmitted. The character of 
the cerebrum limits and controls the extent and direction of the 
„mental development, and imposes certain hereditary characteristics 
-n its primary phases of unfoldment, but not a trace of the spe- 
-cial mentality of the parents reappears in the child. This indi- 
cates that the mind is the property of the individual alone, in 
whose life it is developed, and whom it may survive. The whole 
physical frame, including the cerebrum, is represented in the 
germ, but the mental organism is never transmitted. This is cer- 
tainly a fact of high significance. : 
_.. The condition of emotion is one that seems analogous to con- 
ditions existing in every organism. It appears to be a state of 
heat or cold, strong passion, for instance, being an intensely 
heated state, and deep fear a state of shuddering chill. The mind 
has also its attractions and repulsions, and these seem to be 
closely concerned with its activities. Very many of our move- 
_ ments are directly due to drawings in some direction or towards 
some object, or repulsions from some object. The motives which 
| our movements are very frequently motives of attraction 
ee or distaste, and with these motives some degree of the emotional 
state usually exists, a slight warmth in the case of attraction and 
chill i in the case of repulsion. Possibly some condition of these 
ies is concerned in the changing relations of the mind to the 
and may be the motor influence by which contact is effected,
