EVOLUTION 



December, 1927 



HERE'S A PORTRAIT 



of the editor's great, great, great, great 



. . . grandfather. Isn't he nice? You see, he 

 comes from a race dristingaifehed dveir in' antiq-^^' 

 uity for its sense of humor. Fortunately our 

 editor can't quite make up his mind to take the 

 fundamentalists seriously — not nearly as seri- 

 ously, at any rate, as they take themselves. 



One thing he is serious about — that is an 

 accurate and fair presentation of facts. The 

 truth, he believes, ^vill speak for itself when told 

 clearly in a straightforward manner, guided by 

 a sense of proportion which at times becomes a 

 sense of the ridiculous. 



There never was a time in the history of the 

 world when men and women were so eager for 



enlightenment. And there never was a time 

 when so many scientists were so eagerly search- 

 ing the frontiers of knowledge. 



TODAY, MORE THAN EVER BEFORE 

 explorers are abroad in the wild places of the 

 earth. Scientists are digging the story of our 

 ancestors out of the record of the rocks. More 

 scientists are sweeping the deeps of the heavens 

 with greater telescopes and delving into the mys- 

 teries of the atom with higher powered micro- 

 scopes than ever before. And the facts that they 

 are discovering are more marvelous and enter- 

 taining than any fairy tales of fiction. 



Evolution will follow the modern scientist 

 over his untrodden ways and will tell in every- 

 day language of his adventures, discoveries and 

 achievements. From month to month Evolu- 

 tion will report the news of science in a way 

 that is easy to read. And no matter what their 

 implications. Evolution will 



FRANKLY FACE THE FACTS. 



In this we shall of course meet opposition 

 from the fundamentaiists who want to suppress 

 the facts unless they conform to their own pecu- 

 liar notions. Incidentally, we can depend upon 

 it that these fundamentalists will make monkeys 

 of themselves. We'll take great delight in re- 

 porting their antics, and you will 



HAVE A LOT OF FUN 



reading about them. You can expect this to 

 begin with the very next issue. To be sure not 

 to miss it fill in the convenient blank at the bot- 

 tom of this page and pin a dollar bill to it while 

 you are in the notion, or better yet, make it a two 

 spot and add the names of a couple of your 

 friends.
