THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
S<ti:n(t:’s Task
‘•During the last fifty years science and invention have led u- further and further from the world that was; deeper and deeper into a new entiionmont. The process of change has lieen so rapid that readjustment has been difficult. ‘ y*ef readjust ourselves we must , and prepare for new adjustments. Our dealings with Nature in the | a-t have been hv crude and clumsy methods. The chemistry of the laboratory is put to blush by that of the plant cell. AVe face the problems of the future with a new knowledge of the ultimate structure of matter, derived from radium, atomic spectra, and the X-rays. AA’hat ha.s gone Indore is mere earnest of the future. AVe may confidently depend on science to provide the foundation for a letter social structure, if we can prevail upon ourselves to build thereon in a different frame of mind.”—Arthur D. Little.
