his fellow being, and the
same should be true for the business man.... Although we recognize
no metaphysical free-will, we do not deny personal responsibility.
We can fill the memory of the young generation with such
associations as will prevent wrong doing or dissipation....
Cruelty in the penal code and the tendency to exaggerate
punishment are sure signs of a low civilization and of an
imperfect educational system.... It seems to me that we can no
more expect to unravel the mechanism of associative memory by
histological or morphological methods than we can expect to
unravel the dynamics of electrical phenomena by microscopic study
of cross-sections through a telegraph wire or by counting and
locating the telephone connections in a big city. If we are
anxious to develop a dynamic of the various life-phenomena, we
must remember that the colloidal substances are the machines which
produce the life phenomena, but the physics of these substances is
still a science of the future.... Physiology gives us no answer to
the latter question. The idea of specific energy has always been
regarded as the terminus for the investigation of the sense
organs. Mach expressed the opinion that chemical conditions lie at
the foundation of sensation in general...." _Comparative
Physiology of the Brain_, by Jacques Loeb.
Here it may be added that the "Instinct of Workmanship" in the animal
class, becomes in the time-binding class of life the instinct of
_creation_, and is nothing else than the expression of the natural impulse
of the "Time-binding" energy. In the present social and economic system
very few have a possibility to satisfy this instinct; scientific
management is or may be satisfying the animal instinct of workmanship, but
it is not satisfactory to the instinct of creation. "Time-binding" in its
last analysis is creation and only such a social and economic system as
will satisfy this want--this natural impulse--will satisfy Humans--the
"Time-binders"--and will bring about their fullest growth in work and
happiness.
"LAWS OF GROWTH" (from _Unified Mathematics_, by Louis C. Karpinski,
Ph.D.). "_Compound interest function_.--The function _S_ = _P_(1 + _i_)_n_
is of fundamental importance in other fields than in finance. Thus the
growth of timber of a large forest tract may be expressed as a function of
this kind, the assumption being that in a
