THE REMEDY FOE OUR SOCIAL ILLS. “Men mamifiietured in series, whose minds have not been nourished, will easily he swayed by wild utterances. Their overseers, stricken with intellectual debility, will be powerless to counteract the inflammatory harangues, to yet the better of the evil counsellors. Lassitude, boredom, Ihe desire for change,' will thus lead the automata to hurl civilisation, pulled with a string, into one of those cataclysms of which a lamentable spectacle is being presented to us in the East. The terrifying possibilities of future waflfare' are apparent to all of us. AVhe-re, then, lies our hone? Science must contribute solely for the pacific progress of humanity; this is the remedy. Mow can it be attained? ‘Science without a conscience means the death o! a soul.’ said Rabelais, embracing in these few words a truth which a further aphorism will complete: for the salvation df humanity conscience (the word includes all classes of morality) most advance in step with science.” —Mr Walter Tapper, A.R.A.
