or secretary. Travel to him means intense work; and 

 intense work means to him intense pleasure. 

 Solitude seems necessary to close and consecutive

 soul in touch with the Universal and realizes most 

 fully Goethe's oft repeated dictum, "ALL IS ONE." 

 Q And indeed to Goethe must be given the credit of pre- 

 paring the mind of Hseckel for Darwinism. 

 In his book, "The Freedom of Science and Teaching," 

 Hseckel applies the poetic monistic ideas of Gcethe to 

 biology and then to sociology. 



"All is one." And this oneness that everywhere exists 

 is simply a differentiation of the original single cell. 

 The evolution of the cell mirrors the evolution of the 

 species the evolution of the individual mirrors the 

 evolution of the race. This lav/, first expressed by 

 Gcethe, is the controlling shibboleth in all of Haeckel's 

 philosophy. In embryology he has proved it to the 

 satisfaction of the scientific world. 'When he applies 

 it to sociology our Bellamys are looking backward to 

 Sir Thomas Moore, and expect a sudden transforma- 

 tion to a Utopia; not unlike the change which the good 

 old preachers used to tell us we would experience 

 "in the twinkling of an eye." 



Hseckel builds on Darwin and shows that as the Cir-
