Editorial Comment
For More of the Same
(St. Paul Dispatch)


Two things are evident in connection with the
opening Of the new sugar beet plant at East Grand
Forks. One is that the new industry, while certain
to be aid to agriculture, is not remedy for GER
tain existing evs-nor is it supposed to be. The
growing of beets cleans the land Of weeds, and the
soil cleaned is restored to yield close to the
old high busheage of 30 years ago. The crisp, brown
shredded beet pulp makes excellent feed for live
stock and the green tops are fine sage The cash
returns from the beets themselves are of course
no inconsiderable item. All this is q stimulus to
dversification-to the breeding and feeding of cat
tie. But businessman or farmer is misled into
thinking that the sugar beet is solvent of his prob
lens or that its coming will make new earth. It
is an unquestioned aid at time when renewed
hope and courage is necessary.
The other is the intense interest taken by the
businessmen of the country in the new industry. A
large delegation from Mitchell, s. d. ntimated that
in short time beet sugar plant would be started
there, while the businessmen and farmers from
Moorhead and Fargo, numbering over 1000, are
at work now on beet sugar factory project. Both
Ct these will materialize within another year. The
northwest has gained something more than beet
sugar factory. That is merely the concrete evil
dence of the new cooperative thought everywhere
In the northwest the part of businessmen spirit
worth many sugar beet factories.

A Changing Standard

Increasing population, according to Herbert
Hoover, secretary of commerce. will force the United
States either to advance in scientific discovery or
lower its standard Of living. This uucompromisng
statement, that the nation must choose between
these two alternatives if its population rises beyond
the present estimate of approximately 1850 900
is made in foreword written by him for a PAM
phlet entitled "A New Departure in Higher Educa-
tion" issued by the Johns Hopkins university
1t is like Mr.. Hoover to disdain all the circumo-
cutions of more involved phraseology and to come
thus directly to the meat of his opinion It is char
acteristic Of the And it is also characteristic
that this statement Of opinion is practically state
: ment OF fact as acknowledged by most scientific
today.
The United States does stand on the brink Of a
precipice. On one side is chasm representing a
descent into lower standard of living. On tho
other side is towering peak representing the
heights yet to be climbed by science. The ledge is
too narrow to walk and we must choose which
way we shall go, up or down.
: And it must be up. Science has brought Us so
far along shining road every milestone of which
represents q splendid achievement of the laboring
devotees of facts. We cannot slip back now. We
must popularize science and bring the whole p,pu-
ation to realization Of it's aims and achievements,
that the average citizen may aid in some small
measure the accumulation of that knowledge that
will enable to raise STANDARD of living despite
our increase in population.
There is no doubt, Of course, that as our popula-
ton does increase problem will become more
and more serious, and that is the time to lay
the groundwork for even intensive scientific
investigation and research in the future.

Lectures on the human significance OF matnema'-
les will be given at the evening sessions OF the COL
lecc Of the City Of New York during this fall term
II has been announced by the college authorities wno
that it is the aim Of the course to point out tnat
mathematics the most ancient OF the sciences Is
sfourishng to-day and is unsurpassed by any OF the
other sciences.
: 1t is planned to demonstrate that mathematics Is
not only intimately associated with humanity but
also is replete with spiritual values and of great
human Significance. The lectures will include sucn
subjects as:-the intrinsic beauty and harmony OF
mathematic numbers and the world order; the arith
-mctic Of beauty; duality and trinity; symmetry AMI
balance; the law of rhythm; dminution geometry IN
nature; ornament from mathematics; magic squares
and their translation into pattern; geometry and
architecture; frozen music; mathematics Of sound
and color.
There can be no question that the science OF
mathematics has very deep significance for the
human race. All modern science and development
rest squarely upon foundation of mathematics
and where mathematics touches the individual there
is no doubt that the qualities of mathematics are
ideal for the handling of lifes problems There can
be no refutation Of the contention that mathematl
cal limits and limit processes are omnipresent as
ideals and idealizaton in all thought and human
aspirations and that there is deep spiritual signif-
icance in the permanence of mathematical laws
and the contemplation of ideas under the form OF
eternity.
1t is doubtful if there has ever been an effort
previous to- this to study mathematics from the
angle of its universal romantic appeal rather thar
as an accurate method Of computation and it marks
definite step forward in popularizing this basi.
science.
