GEOMETRY ON THE BROILER.
As a Study It la Pretty Well Roaatad
by Thia Caustic Critio.
Euclid Is a gentleman from whom
credentials onght to be required. He
has long held a prominent place in edu
cation as a matter of tradition. "Just
why should John and Sally study plane
geometry, and Indeed how does It come
about that they are studying It?" That
Is a question which cannot be put too
plainly to teachers of mathematics.
I shall consider for a moment two
possible answers: Geometry is useful,
you may be told, or geometry affords
excellent mental discipline. Geometry
Is useful. Well, how useful and in
what ways? Professor David E. Smith,
professor of the teaching of mathe
matics in Teachers' college, tells us,
"Not more than 25 per cent of the
propositions (In geometry) have any
genuine applications outside of geom
etry." And a distinguished physicist
has assured me that the 75 per cent of
propositions that are of no use are ..ot
even needed to prove the 25 per cent
that are of some use. The teachers of
plane geometry have therefore a very
considerable task If they are going to
justify the time spent on geometry on
the ground that geometry is useful.
Nor Is their task easier If they take
the other horn of the dilemma. Sup
pose one did get "mental discipline"
from geometry. Is It the sort of men
tal discipline that life calls for and
gives?
Geometry as taught Is a deductive
science. That is, from certain assump
tions called axioms and postulates a
long series of propositions is developed.
If the study of geometry really devel
oped that kind of thinking, whom
would it help but lawyers? For prac
tical life calls for a very different type
of thinking.
In actual life people observe, or they
should observe, and on this basis make
:i limited inference which leads to ac
tion. If the uction taken fails, they ob
serve further, construct other hypothe
ses and act again. It is the method of
trial on error.
If there is to be any mental disci
pline, ought it not to be of the type rep
resented by science rather than the
type represented by the conventional
treatment of geometry? — Abraham
Flexner In Atlantic Monthly.

FORETOLD HIS OWN DOOM.
Lord Kitchener Felt That He Would
Lose His Life at Sea.
Lord Kitchener had a sort of fore
boding of an accident ut sea. So much
was this the case that he never cross
ed from Dover to Calais without wear
ing a life belt waistcoat, one that he
had specially made for him la Egypt
before he inade his famous advance to
Khartum.
Though so often on the sea and an
excellent sailor, be detested sea trips
and never felt comfortable on board
any ship. He complained that the sea
affected his sight
Another curious point was that while
he always acquired cnrlos in any part
of the world In which he might be, he
took care never to allow his purchase
to be on the vessel on which he was a
passenger.
When Lord Kitchener was in France
a few months before he lost his life
at sea off the Orkney Islands he was
visiting the British front. There he
met his frkud, the naval Captain
Testu de Balincourt, then on service
at Dunkirk, whom Lord Kitchener ask
ed to be his Kpeii.il aid if he should
need one later during the war.
Lord Kitchener told his friend ho,w
a heavy shell had burst close to him
while on this visit, but added, "That
did not disturb me, for I know that I
shall die at sea."—New York Sun.
