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
