not have been possible without the
development of the nervous system.

"_4th._ That the conscious intelligent progress made by mankind
could not have reached its present level until in the process of
evolution a mechanism had been built up in the nervous system
itself capable of recording the various impressions which the
senses are constantly receiving.

"_5th._ That the recording of past events, with the power of
consciously recalling them for the solution of problems
immediately confronting it, is absolutely essential to its
development.

"Now, what I want to point out is that inasmuch as man's progress
depends upon the perfect co-ordination of his forces to produce
unity of action, we have no right to expect an industrial
organization to make progress which it must do as a unit without
the establishment of a conscious co-ordinating mechanism similar
to the nervous system in the human body." _Individuality in
Industry._ By Robert B. Wolf.

Doctor Charles P. Steinmetz has given in his _America and the New Epoch_ a
most correct engineering picture of the political situation in the world,
with a fine characterization of the psychological peculiarities of the
different races. Although this book was written in 1916, that is, before
the end of the World War, it will be of permanent value; because of its
deep psychological analysis of the peoples and their institutions which
ultimately shape the development of any nation and which do not change
with victory or defeat.

"My tribute to the memory of Gantt will be, not only the homage of
a friend and admirer, but the proof that his philosophy is
scientifically true. A rigorous proof is necessary, because the
word 'service' belongs to that category of words, the meaning of
which can be completely reversed by the verb, be it 'give' or
'take.' Gantt took 'rendering service' as an axiom; my
observation, shared with many others, is that our civilization had
quite another axiom, 'we preach give, we practice take.' The
problem which interested me, was how to find a way out of this
contradiction that would be irrefutable. If one of them is true
and natural law for humans, then the other is not; if our words
are true, then our deeds are not true, or if our deeds are true
then the words are camouflage. I found the solution, by applying
mathematically rig
