He says he's paid as little as

much more for others. And not

cine as a science rather than
a form of sorcery. From India
came a system of notation
from which was developed the
scheme of numerals we en-
ploy today. Most important OF
all were the Greeks. All the
separate streams of knowledge
of the ancient world con-
verged on Greece, there to be
filtered and purified, a n d
turned into new and more pro-
ftable channels by the mar
vellous genius of the race
which was the first in Europe
to emerge from obscurity. But
although they were great
writers, poets, philosophers,
architects and sculptors, the
Greeks were not given to ex-
detrimental science. This was
most unfortunate for such was
the influence of G e k
thought and writings on the
Christian world that when in
vestigators began to expert
ment and make discoveries
