#:. The Higbland Park Press Lathrop Stoddard‘s warning in his new book "Scientific Humanâ€" ism," recently published, is not as imistic as it is timely. â€" _ "Ours is at once a glorious and perilous age," says Mr. Stodâ€" dard, "glorious because of its prospects of | unprecedented good; perilous, by is possibilities of un lleled il}, Néver before in all its long history has mankind co fronted ‘such alternatives of triumph or disaster. > 2l hob o ol | vEIUIIPH GL UISCE NCE s "Our dwellingâ€"place, the earth, shrinks to the measure of huâ€" man hands. Cosmic wonders, from the fiery whorls of outer nebulae to the pulsing heart of the minute atom, come within our ken. Most significant of all, even|the mysterious depths of our own selves are being plumbed, and the hope of apcient sages: ‘Know Thyself? seems on the way to realization. « "Such is the brilliant side of our age. But there is anotherâ€" and a darker side. . . . Indeed, it is not yet certain that we can permanently dwell in this new world of ours.‘: The deeper we probe the recesses of human nature, the more painfully do we realize man‘s innate weaknesses and limitations. It is far from imposâ€" sible that we may have undertaken|a task beyond our ability, and that modern civilization may be hpaded for disaster. One wellâ€" known philosopher warns us of the fate of Icarus, the fabled youth of Greek mythology, who, rashly venturing to fly, crashed down to earth in speedy ruin. Other observers, yet more somber, go so far as to predict the possible extindtion of all mankind. "Whether these warning voices be true or false, one thing is certain: we moderns will never voluntarily quit this new world of ours. Another thing equally certajn is that we must adjust ourâ€" selves to our new world or suffer the direct penalties ; because man, like every other living being, is bound by nature‘s stern command to adapt or perish." { Entered as Second Class matter March 1, 1911, at the post office at Highland Park, Illinois, under the Act of March 8, 1879.. | THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1926 PAGE TWO qpbiininiindintintebnidenintinlinleietediietntnt | 3‘%}-0:%“:»:»:“}»:«:-’:“}-2~$-:~:~:-:~:»:-:»:~:»:«2«5~ I ST.
