Dean of Armour In- stitute, -aid that mankind ha> been likened ' to a group of people on a ierryboa: crowing a river. Sonic stay on deck and enjoy life and all that i- going on around them, while other?, sit down and read their papers and wi?h the time would pa.v* more (•uiekiy. Some get across, and some cros> the r:\ er. Some see the Mower.-, the s.un-L::ie. the green banks, but other- are 'only anxiou-* to reach the goal. When that goal i> reached an- other comes in sight and they rush from one point to another, getting .across. "The kindergarten philosophy," Dr. Monin, "is endeavoring to to men this practical message said brinj _ ••of- the • wivdorrr-of-crossing the" river, of taking time to live." Dr. Monin called attention to the modern tendency to standardize things', to mechanize them, "It is necessary, perhaps, in--the province of science ..to treat man as a mechanism, pure and .simple." said he, .'Ihut-to-tF-y-to-resoIve- all human life, all human activity in- to this mechanistic philosophy is to cru-strxnir all that is best in human life." "Here again" he pointed out, *'it is the kindergarten philosophy that* must help mankind to see that" no per- son, no human Wing can ever be brought under a mechanical order." "The speed mania." continued Dr. Monin.
