Once a great poet put this
truth into immortal lines. He
wrote of the Nautilus, that
strange sea creature, whose
shell, with its widening cham

on Mediterranean beaches. The
poet studied that shell-thought
of the life that had gone on
secretly within it, building cell

ness. Then he thought of his
own life. building slowly, Sc
cretly, and he cried:

Leave thy loW-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler

Shut thee from heaven with a
dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell
on life's unresting sea-"
Live! Live and dare to take
chances, even if each new
chance gets you in wrong. Have
the courage to get in wrong. Be
willing to pay for wisdom by
getting in wrong. Then build
on that wisdom. Take another
chance-make another mistake,

You admire a reserved per

You think that you amuse

right, because it is ludicrous to
see person try to appear in

he is ignorant.
You feel that you should
talk much and here you make

If your knowledge is not

DescGrtes, Great Genius
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., DEL, LID,
Famous Scientific Authority

Rene Decartes is one of those
bl-partite geniuses, so rare in
world history. He combined the
analytical power of the scientist
with the intuitive gift of the
philosopher. Had he never writ
ten a line of mathematics, he
would be immortal as the
father of modern philosophy"
Had he never penned a phrase
of philosophy, he would always
be remembered as the founder
of the marvellous and beautiful
system of solving geometry by
algebra, known as analytic
geometry. This honor he shares
in part with Fermat, who per-
haps anticipated him IN the
discovery. But it was Decartes
who erected the method of
analytic geometry into a sys-
tenn, and laid its deep and broad
foundation. From his time until
now. it has borne the name. in
his honor, of cartesian geom-
try.
Was Sickly Lad
Rene DeCartes was porn at
La Haye, Touraine, Of Breton
parents. on March 81, 1896. His
consumptive mother died g. few
days after his birth. and
throughout his life, he was deli
cate and sickly. He was pre-
cocious genius, early conscious
OF his own mental powers; and
il is said that by his eighth
year he had gained the title of
the young philosopher from
his avidity to learn and his con-
slant questioning.
DeScarteS had little conf
dence in the methods of in
struction in the schools of his
day, attributing his develop
ment to the natural mental
powers with which he was en-
dowed. When he left the
Jesuit college of La Fleche,
he declared that he had de-
rived no other benefit from his
studies than that of a convic-
tion of his utter ignorance, and
a profound contempt for the
systems of philosophy then in
vogue"
After leaving college he
abandoned the study of books.

and in the great book of the
world" He preferred to seek
the truths of science, not from
the Schoolmen, but from the
operations Of his own mind.
Lived Life Of Leisure
For a time, he lived the life
of a gentleman of leisure; and
even served in the armies of
Maurice of Nassau. lilly and
Buquoy. At the age of 80 he
went to Holland and devoted
himself to quiet and philosophic
meditation. After eight years
OF intensive reflection, he
brought out the small, but i'm
portant treatise, Discourse on
Method" This was followed
by his "Meditations";; and the
two works made him famous
throughout Europe.
Descartes invoked reason FOR
the solution of problems of
philosophy. He stands at the
other end of the scale from
Bacon. While Bacon is re-
garded as the master of induc-
ton, DeSCartes is pre-eminent
as a master of education. This
was mark of the mathemati-
cal bent of his mind.
The two main tenets of his
philosophical system are: II
think, therefore I am" and
the principle that all clear and
distant ideas are true, which
he terms the foundation of all
science, the rule and measure
of truth"
A Great Scientist
In several branches of science.
Descartes showed the workings
of a great mind, notably in
mathematics, physics and physi-
ology. The foundation of car
tesian geometry is laid down in
his suggestive work, La Geomet-
ric, published in 1887. Less
than a year before his death
he was summoned to Sweden
by Queen Christina. Following
his death on February IL, 1850,
he was buried in Stockholm ;
but hN remains were subse-
quent moved to Paris. His
