when, in our attempt to discover
some of the principal features
of energetiCs, we first reconsider
such principal features of ordinary
dynamics as bid fair to be of prac-
tical use in the study of the lines
of success The writer has long
done SO with regard to history, or
the lines of success followed by the
great nations of the past. 1t has,
tor instance, been possible to ex-
plain why of all nations in antiquity
the numerically few Greeks alone,
and they only from about 900 B. c.
to 800 B. c., succeeded in art,
science, philosophy, and general
importance as no other nation ever
has. If such satisfactory results
could be obtained in the history
OF nations by applying to it the
fundamental principles of dynamics
as taught by Dcscartes, Calico.
Leibnitz, and Newton, why should
we despair of securing similar re-
suits in the study of individual
success, provided we apply the
principles of dynamics with discre-

New-York tribune., 1906-07-08

TN our first article we arrived at the conclusion
that success in life is to say the least unlikely
= to be a mere matter OF chance a f1uke.
For considerations that have long prevailed upon
harmony of all movements in nature, we, too, are
bound to assume that the movements in practical
life must likewise be held to be part of the uni
VerSal order in human aVOCatiOnS and professions,
the study of which, for lack of a better name, we
have called energetiCs.
the study of success than we at once see that we
are dealing not with vague, unaCcOuntable,
balanced series of chances but with force which by
its very intensity excludes absolute irregularitY.
The intenser force the more will its line of move
ment approach to a straight line or to line the
direction of which can be computed. If energy is
anything, 1t is intense; being intense, 1t IS
likely to be regular, rhythmic, and measurable
that is, comprehensive forces less intense
Hope of Energetics
nOES not therefore, energetiCs hold out fair
success among men with results fully worth our
attention? We hold it does.
EnergetiCs is, like all other theories of move
ments part OF dynamiCS In dynamiCs ask,
What forces shall we apply to make given body
move in a given line or curve? In energetics we
ask What forces shall we apply to make given
person move of the lines of success?
There is, of course, considerable difference be
tween the two problems, in spite of their agree
ment in words. No can fail to that the line of
success and geOmetrcal curve are in many respects
essentially different from another. Yet in doing
so only repeat what is constantly going in all
real sciences.
The immortal feat of Descartes consists in lust
this inestimable teaching of the simple being in
all circumstances the guide and directive in the
study of the complicated; or, to his terms that
the straight line helps us to understand the curve
New-York tribune., 1906-07-08

capable OF universal application IS the profound
concept taught by DescarteS. that we can control
each winding, turn, or twist of given curve by
scaffOlding it on two sorts of straight lines, one
regularly, the other irregularly variable In this
concept is consummated the whole prodigiOus prog
resS of modern physical and biological science. 1t
goes through all astronomy, physics, physiology.
expression that IN all movements there two
elements variable the other practically not
variable; or, to other terms, one constant the
other not constant.
Power of Prediction
IN this principle of dvnarnics there is a germ
: OF more than one truth. In applying it to our
problem OF success, or energetlCs in life, we may
freely hope that movements in life, too, must
be reduC1ble to two elements, one constant, the
other variable. And since it is evidently not
impossible to CircumSCribe the constant elements
of success with sufficient accuracy and precision
in that all constant things offer broad area on
which to plant the fortress of well-knit concept
we may even now say, and with fair assurance of
not altogether missing the chief points that in
success there is at any rate element that is open
to systematic treatment, to scientific insight The
great symptom of all scientific insight is as Plato
has long since stated, the power of prediction
" To understand is to predict as the French saw.
IT, therefore, the constant elements of sue
possible subjects of real insight and thus
of true prediction, we no longer despair of the
more complicated problems of energetiCs either All
that we have to do is to fix bV close investigation
the nature, and if feasible the number of the con-
stantS and also the nature of the variables of the
lines OF success Which, then, are these constants
and which the variables in SUGGEST
The essential point to which we are bound to direct
