The time has now arrived (when this JOURNAL is hailed cordially throughout the country) that I may venture to announce the most remarkable feature of the art and science of education. There is an additional reason, too, for speaking out at this time, which should mortify the pride of an American citizen. The philanthropic science which I thought it imprudent to mention then in this free country, is beginning to be studied in France, where such themes are not suppressed by the sturdy dogmatism which is so prevalent and so powerful in the Anglo-Saxon race. THE NEW METHOD IN FRANCE. As the French National Scientific Association, in their meeting at Grenoble, two years ago, recognized in their most startling form the phenomena of human impressibility which are illustrated in the "Manual of Psychometry," and reported the most marvellous experiments in medicines,--an act of liberality which has no parallel in English-speaking nations,--so at the late meeting of their Scientific Congress, as I learn from the German magazine, the _Sphinx_, the new principle of education was broached which I feared to present in the "New Education," and was received with general approbation by that learned body. Of course there was not a complete presentation of the subject, for that would require a complete knowledge of the brain, which no scientific association claims at present, and which will have its first presentation to the readers of the JOURNAL OF MAN, but the process of educational development was studied by the French _savants_ from the standpoint of mesmeric science and its leading methods, which are now (freed from the name of an individual) styled _hypnotism_; or, the sleep-producing process.
