  • To our modern minds it seems obvious that scientific progress must be based upon alternate induction and deduction. The first inductive step is, indeed, not always evident. It was only in the nineteenth century that the emergence of non-Euclidean Geometry made it clear that even a purely deductive science like Geometry must be’ based upon a preliminary induction—often subconscious, and the result of generations of tacit acceptance of intuition. Modern classical dynamics commences with the Galilean induction in the form of Newton’s Laws of Motion, thus discarding the old Greek view of motion and its causes. In some branches of human knowledge, e.g. the sociological, the first induction is hardly yet accomplished.

  • “We are all pacifists now”; or if not, it is difficult to see what excuse we have for living in the modern world. I feel therefore that a word of apology is needed for a paper on a military subject. But I hope you will acquit me of any intention to revive the hatred and bloodthirsty panic that poisoned the years 1914 to 1918, because the activity that I have to tell you about is not concerned with the destruction of life but rather with the saving of it.

  • We are greatly indebted to the correspondents who have supplied so much valuable information regarding the history and development of the finger-method of multiplication, and to our Editor for the summary of them which will be found in the notes in this number of the Gazette.
