HORSE SENSE
" Perhaps one of the most characteristic features of the discoveries of the last thirty years has been the increasing speed with whidh we have learned to adapt ourselves fo new lines of thinking. Common sense has not had time to establish itself at any stage of progress in the bectic development of our mental seenery, but is left trying to wade its way out of the sticky ether of the nineteenth century. There are many who do npt like the mad panorama of thought presented to them. They long for the conventionality of the past . . . to understand Nature in terms of ' good horse-sense.' And yet how unkind it seems to have to remark that, in the last analysis, 1 horse-sense ' is, in all verity, but the kind of sense that a horse has." — Dr. Joseph Jastrow.
