Primitive man, whatever his capacity for learning and achieve ment, faced an unknown world. He was to subdue nature to do so he must solve many problems. If we look at the great progress and advancement which we, in America, have made within one hundred years we may see how the solution of one problem aids to solve a new problem; how the ground gained to-day serves simply as a point from which to advance to occupy new gnqund to-morrow. This progress is now marked and rapid l' when it began it was slow and feeble.
