1--WE Suffer From The Bad
Citizenship of Good Men.
Josiah Strong
A Universal Ferment.

1t has become commonplace to speak OF the
ferment in all lines of thought and every de-
partment of action, but it remained for Sir
Oliver Lodge in recent address to reveal the
full extent of the upsets in old ideas. Very
enthusiastically Sir Oliver himself offered one
or two jolts to his scientific colleagues of the
"orthodox' type but eased up the process by
first reminding them that the whole world OF
thought is strangely moved by revolution and
change.
There is the conflict in physiology between
those who look upon the individual as ma
chine and those who think of him as vital
being manifested through body. Chemists are
struggling with the atomic theory, some be-
ievng that atoms remain the unshakable
foundations of matter while others go in
for the theory that matter is merely form OF
electric energy Biologists enjoy a battle royal
over the problems of heredity while Lamarck-
ians, Darwinians and Weissmanists are making
fur fly. The educational world is kind of in
tangible Mexico with every section in revolt
against Aristotle and all the dear old authorities.
And medicine! Did not Norman Earnestly write
a singing book little while ago called Medical
Chaos and Crime!" And as for politics and econ
omics, when has the world seen the dismal sci
ences' so rent and torn with schisms and feuds?
Everything in the universe from creation morn
to judgment day has been placed under the micro
scope of modern curiosity tossed into the
seething pot of argument!
Truly we live in exciting times Revolutions
ere pulled off before breakfast and dynasties go
down at dusk. Maps have become fluid and no.
body under heaven tell what the end will be.
We will not even be surprised if Richmond gets
mayor.
