THE FIGHT GOES ON

_--In a remarkable article in the Yliibbert Journal, Dr. L. P. Jacks, not- ed British educatlonist, sounds a clarion note in rebuke oi the attit- ude of those who despair because of the dangers besettlng modern civ- flization. He says: ' ,"By its very nature civilization is, always has bee-n ,and always will be, a dangerous enterprise in a uni- iverse such as this. The dangers besetting it change their forrn, but never disappear. Whatever may be flie case with democracy, there is certainly no such thing as making this universe ‘safe’ for civilization, which continues to exist, not by reason of any ‘safeguards that may protect it. but by reason of the deep- er fact that man is, naturally, a danger-facing animal, equipped by the constitution of his mind and" body for facing dangers and assert- ing himself in spite of them.

Mr. Thomas N.

incomplete all the time.

Even from a most casual inspec- tion of the case it was obvious that the Professor's theory suflered from something and, while our analysis was not so complete as to enable us to put a finger on the trouble, we are not surprised at the devel- opment. It was dualism. Nothing less than dualism. Dr. Walter May- el‘. who 1s collaboraing with Ein- stein in the matter, admits it frankly.

“The general relativity theory,” he said, "suffered from a dualism; adequate for gravitation, it harbor- ed the electromagnetic field a5 a forelsn body. and‘ its formulas Projessor Einstein had to introduce artificially, as it were."

It is an interesting admission, and confirms our suspicion that all was not right with relativity. Think of expecting the world to under- r ‘sd a theory affected with dual- ism and artificial formulas. But with these points cleared up the roar‘ k1 straight ahead. Dualism has l cn abzllshed, and, as Dr. Mayer c Bins, it so lucidly, this “sub- sumcs bothgravitation and electri-

city under one comprehensive theory of the same archtecture throughout."

The intelligent reader will grasp at once the profound significance of this thought and he will follow Dr. Mayer's singularly lucid explan- ation:

“The new theory was develop- ed by means of a new mathem- atical conzept, namely, that cf a vector with five components, or determination elements, in a space of four dimensions: i.e., the Einsteinian space-timc-continu- um.

"Theretofiore it had been tak- en for granted by everybody that a vectoz-‘s components must be the sanre number as the dimen- sions of its space-or might be less, but could not be more. 0f course, the new vectors gave us new tensor equations.“

In regard to your correspondent, ‘

"B.A.NI.”, he, or she, seems decidedly ruffled, I wonder why? In my letter I did not find fault with the nurses. on the contrary I gave them the full meed of praise. Nor did I ask them to cut down their "ciagc scale, that is their business. Much less did I suggest that they give their services free, as "HAM." inslnuatcd I did. I simply voiced the very great and pressing need of nurses with a lower standard of remuneration, for the people of moderate means, and the poor, and I think the great ma- jority of people will agree with me. As for asking a registered nurse to cut her wages, as “B.A.M." suggests, that 1a nonsense. N0 one would have the audacity to ask such a thing,
