SOMETHING FOR
YOUNG MEN TO
THINK ABOUT
Washington Times)

What is the worlds greatest discov.
cry or invention?
The question is suggested by the
excellent speech of Senator Lodge at
Cambridge.
The Senator gave the young men
who heard him plenty to think about
while they are hunting for situations
or selection vocations or hunting jobs,
whichever of these things a Harvard
graduate does.
The Senator led up to the question
of great inventions by pointing out
the fact that skulls of the prehistoric
men of 10000 years ago were just as
large, the brains in them just as
heavy, as those of the present day.
And then he said: PEI
"In science we have made immense
advances, building always on the
ever accommodating store of those who
preceded us, and with mechanical ad-
yantages always improving our work.
"But we do not in pure intellectual
force surpass the men who first
evolved the science of numbers and
by mere intellectual strength devised
the system of geometry which every
schoolboy knows today, or those men
who, by unassisted thought, with no
knowledge except that which they
could could gain with their own eyes,
developed the atomic theory.
Think for a. moment where the
whole fabric of society, the world of
man, would be without fire, the wheel
or written language; the first work of
natural force, the last two pure hui
man Inventions"
Along with the nebular hypothesis,
the atomic theory has been thrown in
to the discard of science, but the other
discoveries and inventions which the
Senator mentioned give rise to the
question asked in the opening line Of
this editorial.
We should like to hear the answer
Mr.. Edison or Mr.. Bell or Mr.. Carly
or Mr.. Marconi would give.
Certainly without the wheel and the
principle of the axis the mechanical
world would become chaos. But is
not the lever greater than the wheel?
The written language is entitled to
the prominence that Mr.. Lodge gives
it but it was not until printing from
movable types was invented by either
Coster or Gutenberg that he general
dissemination of knowledge was made
possible.
! Fire is more really discovery than
an invention. There has never been
a people found so uncivilized and ig-
norant that they did not know of fire
and it's uses.
The origin Of fire from lightning,
from the clashing Of the harder stones
and the heat generated by the friction
Of opposed substances must have been
among the things earliest observed by
the first reasoning forms of life. !,
Are we really greater than the
ancients? Have we progressed, in
pure thought, as much as we flatter
ourselves we have? Did the Senator
issue needed warning to the young
men of Harvard when he said:
"In the region of mental achieve
ment let us not be overconfident or
overboastful of our innate superiority
to those unknown men who knew
nothing of what we know, but un-aid.
