Progress From Experience" by Edward
Seden Hyde. (The Cochrane Pub Coz
They tell us, every time they have an
opportunity, that the forward movement
we call progress must inevitably have its
origin In the experience of the past. We
know 1t. We don't dispute it.
But in Mr.. Hyde's really strong book he
r sists that man moves forward only as
he learns and, of course, he learns only
by what he passes through. Some learn
faster than others and hence are more
progressive, Mr.. Hyde says; some learn
slowly and hence are conservative.
Mr. Hyde says that some have asked If
there is really any such thing as progress
and limited that that Of the present day
consists merely in following the down
ward slope.
Mr.. Hyde considers all this question of
progressively problem like that to study,
you know-and the reader may be pleased
to know that Mr.. Hyde, after making
various tests, he is able to deny the
statement above limited at.
We read that 1t Is in truth sufficiently
obvious that the Industrial and material
development of which all are witnesses is
the outcome of practical experience.

modern development occupies the center

that we have ceased wondering at dis

There is no doubt but that Mr.. Hyde
takes in the whole field in his considera-
tions, considers all important points, and
so on.
Mr.. Hyde has thought much upon the
subject upon which he writes.

North Carolina but there were thou

day officially expressed its policy in
a reply sent to a man in New York
who asked if the government would
be willing to settle all cases on a.
money basis. The reply, which was
approved by Secretary MacVeaugh, is
in part as follows:
ut is not the policy of the Depart
ment TO permit guilty parties to es-
cape so long as the Department re
ceived thee ash which is coming to it.
"On the contrary, every case pre-
sented for action is treated upon it's

diction or authority of this Depart

son who violates the law In cases
where compromises are accepted it is

question is in the interest of public

by which this department can decide
as to whether upon conviction the
guilty parties shall escape the added
