How are we to keep the scien-

Another danger for the univer-

civilization of our country arises
from the fact that II is practically
impossible to I'LL our vacant pro-

Scientists Of standing refuse to
fill these vacancies because the
Inadequate equipment of our once
famous laboratories and hospitals
does not encourage them to work,
and because the salary we can
offer AN ordinary professor has
one-tenth Of the purchasing power
Of his pre-war income.

Some Of the hospitals of the

the fact that they were built but

scientific equipment.
The hospital for women's dis

Kermauer at its head, is still con-

II is perhaps relevant to remind
ourselves that there is nothing in
herentiy impossible in such Z
view. AS biology progresses II
becomes increasingly clear that
probably all living matter, Ger
tainly all the living matter which |
is connected In the brain with |
mental processes. has two sets q
wholly distinct properties-thoss /
that we usually call material:
which are dealt with by physics
and chemistry. and those that ws(
call mental. which are dealt with
by psychology.
These two sets Of properties are
both properties Of the single stuff
Of which living things are made.
II this is so. what is there to pre-
vent intense activity Of the mental1
processes from having an effect
upon other mental happenings al
a distance. or even upon physical
material happenings - especially
as we know that material hap
penings can have very marked Ell
fects upon the mind?
We are only just beginning tn
experimental study of mental ph}
nomena; and Flammarion Is coml
pletely justified when he says that
our present knowledge Of them 10
on level with the knowledge Of
electricity in the seventeenth CEN
tury. In both cases we are OBJ
viously confronted with some curl
GUS new kind of happening: but
what II is, or how 1t acts. II is a.
yet impossible to say.
HOPE VS.. PROOF.
For physics and chemistry to
dogmatize when SO much is OBJ
viously still unexplained is merely
to limit investigation. We have
every right to hope that two cen.
turtles Of research on mind win
give us deep insight and as start
ling power as have two centuries
Of research into electricity.
But a legitimate hope and a logi-
cal possibility are not proof; and a
word of caution is needed. Before
these strange occurrences. or
others of the same general nature,
can be produced at win and ex-
perimentally tested, they can
scarcely claim the hallmark Of
scientific proof. Flammarion tries
to do away with this objection by
pointing out that. although no one
has experimental with lightning.

"The truth Is that II is impossi-

MANY ASSAULT CASES.
ITO make matters worse, We
have the frequent occurrence Of
hideous cases Of criminal assault.
In the majority of cases the
French officials do their best to
bring offenders to justice. but they
are apparently under orders to
suppress all reports Of outrages,
and even to suppress German
papers that refer to them.

There are only two things which
can put an end to this crime
against humanity. The first is the

Is taking place. and the second is
the emphatic expression Of opinion

is all the more interesting to find

done us a service In focusing at

The general conclusion which
one would like to draw Is that In
certain states of great mental ac-

other times, the human mind is ca
pable Of acting at a distance.
When 1t does so II usually acts
