mind." We should be inclined to broaden the dictum, 

 but in hoc signo labore^nus. In the diffusion of the 

 scientific mood and habit of mind there is great hope. 

 Without it we shall go on as before, pathetically like 

 the coloured gentleman who averred that he did not 

 know where he was going, but that he was on his way. 

 Another modern philosopher, Professor L. T. Hobhouse, 

 has declared that the mundane goal of the evolutionary 

 movement is " the mastery by the human mind of the 

 conditions, internal as well as external, of its life and 

 growth." And so it appears to us, though for " mind " 

 we should read " organism." In other words, it is Man's 

 part to continue building up a scientific systematisation 

 of knowledge which will increasingly form the basis of 

 a control of life. For Life is not for Science, but Science 

 for Life.
