Proportional Representation
In the Senate

In his address to the House Monday Representative
James Beck fine historian and eloquent speaker pointed
out George Washington favored proportional representa-
the States in the Senate long urged by Hearst news
papers of giving true representation in that body
In accordance with population.
The Hearst plan would permit the smallest States to have
each the other States the number they entitled
to under the census, in the House.
Equal representation in the Senate consented to by
Washington other American patriots prevent the de-
of the Constitution by the smaller States jealous Of
their rights and also fearing House of Lords controlled by
an arstocracy Of birth and wealth
No such fears animate the American people today and what
the wise the nation favored the days of the Cons
tuional Convention should still become part of the great
document that governs this country
United States Senators each that have less population than
single ward in New York city, yet the great States Of the
country do have their rghtfu representation in the
Senate.
Mr. Beck might have added that the District of Columbia
pays into the United States Treasury than half
dozen States together but the people of the District
denied all representation in either Senate House.

Down to the present time, the
two most famous names in the
history of mathematical science
are Euclid and Newton. 1t is
not known to what extent Eu-
cid made contribution of an
original nature to the body OF
geometrical knowledge OF his
day. It is not, however, believed
to have been considerable. Eu-
clid's great contribution was IN
the classification, organization
and 'systematization OF mathe-
matical knowledge, chiefly all
that was known of geometry.
So admirable and orderly was
Euclid's work in this respect
that, until comparatively recent
years it has survived almost un-
altered in the curriculum OF En-
glish instruction. Geometry
and Euclid were synonymous.
When people meant geometry
they said Euclid. 1t is probably
true that no other work in the
history of science ever exercised
such a powerful and beneficial
effect upon the human mind
for such a great length of time.
Little Known of Euclid
Although Euclid's Elements, or
Stoicheia in Greek, is one OF
the landmarks in the history
of science and Euclid himself
one of the immortalS, singularly
little is known about him, his
origin or even his career. 1t is
not certainly known, even,
whether he was a Greek or an
Egyptian. Certain it is only
that about the year 300 B. c.,
Euclid's fame as a mathemati-
clan hsd become fully recog-
niZed.
Euclid flourished during the
reign of Ptolemy I, King OF
Egypt, who is said to have been
one of his pupils. Under the
patronage of this enlightened
ruler, he founded a mathemati-
cal college primarily a school
for the study of geometry in
Alexandria, a great center Of
learning of that day. That was
indeed a golden age; and Alex

Euclid, the King of
SuStematizerS
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., Del, LID.
Famous Scientific Authority

andria was a Mecca for the in
quiring and studious minds of
the East.
Euclid was fortunate in be-
ing able to build upon the broad
and stable foundations for ge-
ometry laid by ThaleS and
Pythagoras. Thales is gener.
ally credited with being the
founder of Greek geometry. OF
PythagoraS an old writer says
that he changed geometry into
the form of a liberal science,
regarding it's principles in a
purely abstract manner, and in
Vestigating its theorems from
the immaterial and intellectual
point of view" Euclid devel-
oped geometrical science in a
systematic and orderly manner,
giving rigorous proof of theo-
rems which had been but loosely
and imperfectly demonstrated
before his time.
Trained in Athens
It has been conjectured that
Euclid received his early train
ing in mathematics at Athens,
where various efforts were be-
ing made to reduce the subject
matter of geometry to a logical
basis. To Euclid is often attri-
buted the memorable dictum,
which his own experience in
severe mental discipline had
taught him: There is no royal
road to geometry.
1t is popularly supposed that
Euclid's Elements, in 13 hooks,
deal entirely with geometry.
AS a matter of fact, this erea:
work also contains the theory
of numbers and a conside1a able
amount of algebra. Besides the
famous Elements, Euclid GER
tainly wrote a treatise bearing
on astronomical science end a
work called Data" of which

The Marry-GO-ROund

Way for the Bachelors!

Way for the Bachelors!
Every few days we receive and
read with great glee and relish
a letter from some male reader
defending bachelor, bachelor
hood and the state of single
blesSedneSS.
Now, there are only two kinds
of men in which we Cor any
other Woman are interested
bachelors and husbands. And
we are interested in bachelors
only as potential husbands.
That's all they are-to most
of us.
1t has been the fell design of
this column, from the begin
ming, to lure or laugh bachelors
into matrimony. Not because
we have anything against
bachelors. but because, in our
sweet, old-fashioned, pre-war
opinion, there is no real heart
happiness in life outside Of mar
riage. Besides, we were BORN
with the matchmaking instinct!
However. it is only fair to let
the bachelor have his way once
in a while; so we quote the fol
lowing contributions from A. G.
Reich:
''It takes a bachelor to under
stand women; that's why he's a
bachelor.
when a married woman
wants to flirt or philander, she
looks around for a married
man; when she wants Solace
and help or a friend in need,
she looks up a bachelor.

traffic congestion as serious as
