Huge balls of lead, as used by Cavendish, produce bv their garvitational effect a minute rotation of a delicately suspended bar. carry- ing smaller balls at its extremities. I But no such feeble means-sufficed for Newton's purpose. To prove the law of gravitation he had.

recourse to the, tremendous pull on the moon of the entire mass of the: earth, and then ex-. tended nls researches to the mutual attractions' of all the bodies of the solar Bystem. Later Herschel applied this law to the sums which constitute double tars, and today Adams observes from Mount Wilson stars falling with greatr velocity toward! the centre the galactic system under the combined pull of the millions of objects, that compose it. Thus full' advantage has been taken of the possibility of utilizing the great, masses of the heavenly bodies for the discovery and application of a law of physics and Its reciprocal use in explaining celestial motions. Or consider the Einstein theory of relativity the truth or falsity of which is no less fundamental to physics.

Its inception sprang from the Michelson-Morley experiment, made in a basement laboratory In Cleveland which showed that motion of. the earth thru the ether of space could not there be detected. This experiment is now being repeated by Miller on the summit of Mount Wilson to determine whether the absence of relative motion of earth and ether, as observed at, low levels, is equally true at high altitudes. All of the three chief test3 of Einstein's general theory are astronomical because of the great masses required to produce the minute effects observed the motion of the perihelion of Mercury, the deflection of the light of a star by the attraction of the sun, and the shift of tbe lines of the solar spectrum toward the red questions not yet completely answered.

It is generally assumed that If a boy picks up a certain amount of, "culture" in college, practical experience can be left to take care of Itself. Similarly, if he goes to a technical school, it is assumed that enough "culture" and administrative ability can be acquired later. The aim of the new administrators of Antioch (it began its life in 1853, with Horace Mann as its president) is to remedy what they believe is a defect, to. teach boys and girls as soon as possible to "find" themselves, and while picking np various sorts of necessary special knowledge, to acquire also the arts of practical good citizenship. On of the main features of their plan is to alternate five weeks of class room work with five weeks of work in nearby industries which will have arranged for the employment of students on such part- time basis.

But the whole curriculum will bo modified to fit the Antioch theory. Thus the college printing plant will do commercial work and a group of students in the school of Journalism might, perhaps, bid on and do printing for persons outside the college; or students in an engineering or accounting course might buy an old automobile, repair it and finally sell It, and thus complete the cycle" as it Would be worked out in actual life. I The general point of view behind the Antioch Idea had already expressed itself in the Moraine park preparatory school, In which Col E. A. Deeds, Mr.

O. F. Kettering and other Dayton citizens -were These gentlemen felt that "some knowledge of commercial habits and of making correct judgments "of material values reduce the embarrassments and inefficiencies of every day life" and that "high school subjects, as well as manual training, to some extent, may- be acquired coincldentally with a knowledge of the usual contacts of every day life." One of the devices by which this aim is realized in the Moraine park school is thru what are called J' which are bits of real life in miniature run by the themselves. Thus there is a bank ''project," with deposits amounting to about a thousand dollars, which loans money at Interest and to finance other school "projects." There is a lunchroom, laundry, typewriting agency, employment agency (for boys who want to work during the summer, among the one hundred odd projects." The pupils are not marked according to their per-cent of accomplishment in the usual subjects, -but In accordance with their all-around development In fen Bo-called "occupations:" (J) body building; (2) spirit hulking; (3) society serving; (4) man conserving; (5) opinion (6) truth discovering; thought expressing; (8) wealth producing; (9) comrade or mate seeking; (10) life refreshing. There are no written admission examinations of the usual sort at Antioch, but each, prospective student fills out an elaborate questionnaire and his case is judged accordingly.
