THE NARROW PATH
OF REAL ATTAINMENT

The scientific attitude Of mind in
wolves a sweeping away Of all other de-
sires in the interest of the DESIRE TO
KNOW" says Bertrand Russell in his
Mysticism and Logic. . 1t involves
suppression Of hopes and fears. loves
and hates. and the whole subjective.
emotional life, until we become sub
dued to the material, able to see it
frankly, without preconception, without
bias, without any wish except to see
it as it is, and without any belief that
what it is must be determined by some
relation, positive or negative, to what
we should like it to be, or to what we
can easily imagine it to be. .
knowledge is power said Francis
Bacon, meaning that knowing the OBJ
served connections and SUGGESTIONS in
phenomena, called natural laws, man
was thereby enabled to SO adjust bis
conduct and regulate conditions to en-
able him to produce desirable effects
and, to avoid undesirable ones. Be-
cause insight, the light Of knowledge,
dawns within man, he is told:
He who desires wisdom, power or
permanent success of any kind will
find it within; it is an unfoldment.
Only by exercising his mental faculties
can person GROW in intelligence.
As no one can eat for another and nour-
lsh HIM, so no one can think for an
other to advance and benefit that 9TH
er in personal growth of mentaI and
moral development. Wisdom and pow
er can be found only within, because
they are an acquisition, gained thru
the exercise of mans intelligent pow
ers, just as muscular strength is gain
ed thru appropriate exercise.
The patient and accurate investiga-
ton of facts, and the careful building
up Of general truths on firm basis of
actual observation he's given us mod

illustrates the fundamental
activity that underlies all thinking,
namely, the detection of similarity amid

All our information in regard to the
phenomenal world is based upon our
sense perceptions, observations, exper-
fence, and by reflection upon them.
The curiosity of the child, its in
curing attitude and desire to know
should be gratified and encouraged to

able characteristic. Just to the extent
Ina its inquiries are encouraged, graf

The Immortal Horace

HORACE AND HIS INFLUENCE By Grant
Showerman. Boston: Marshall Jones Com
pany.
/" HIS second volume in the series of
Our Debt to Greece and Rome
carries out the high promise of the
undertaking. Professor Showerman has
not only written a very useful, edifying
and appetizing book that should arouse
interest in the audience at which it is
aimed (that is, readers who have not met
Horace in his own form) but he has
produced something that will be well
coined by old lovers of that most lovable
poet. He has almost achieved the SEEM
ingly impossible result of saying some
thing new on a subject about which
countless volumes have been written dur
ing the past thousand years. There is
freshness of approach in it, a feeling of
definite personality-rather of the meet
ing of two real persons-in his interpreta-
ton. The first part of the book dis
cusses Horace as a man and as poet;
the arch interpreter of Roman life of his
day, as spectator and critic of life in
general He next passes to a brief out
line of Horace through the ages" and
shows why he is still so dynamically
alive and likely to remain so. His Eregi
mOnunentun was no futile boast though
a good many imperfectly informed folk
to-day consider Latin a dead language.
