When a man’s in competi-

in his lungs. Smoking cuts
down on wind. And an athlete
needs wind as much as he
needs his legs.

AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
We bright people, in this super-
charged, civilized age, might think
that we have advanced this far in
scientific knowledge because of
our fine schools and colleges.
Therefore we keep buying bricks
and cement and erect our magni-
ficant ivory towers from; coast to
coast. We pin our faith on rows
and rows of desks full of uninter-
ested schoolboys, and hang our
hopes on groups of college lads,
dons and long - haired (professors.
But all these raws of desks and
all these hours of study, contri-
bute little to the1 advance
of science. All they can do is to
bring our younger minds up
to date and acquaint them, more
or less, with what has been ac-
complished over the past centur-
es. That is Why so much money
has to be spent in our post-gradu-
ate world, on pure research. The)
foregoing is the sort of thing we
hear every day out in the great
industrial world; now wlhat justifi-
cations can we honestly offer?
Luckily perhaps, genius is a very
scarce article, because it invari-
ably hits this stoic old world with
a loud explosion. To cite a well-
known case, we know how Galileo
spent a miserable life as the cen-
ter of violent controversy, as he
clashed with the famous (or in-
famous) Inquisition. Our old view
of Galileo was simple enough but
now that our modem historians
are always so scrupulously accur-
ate, he has now become their
problem child.
Above all, Galileo was an exper-
imenter and no scholar, who des-
pised the prejudice, pride and
learning of the popular Aristotle
school of his day. He turned his
back on the ancient sages and fac-
ed Nature alone. When he turned
his home - made telescope towards
the heavens, he recorded plenty of
evidence; enough at least, to top-
ple old Aristotle and Ptolemy to-
gether from their lofty pedestals.
He was, you know, that young
idiot Who supposedly climbed the
Leaning Tower of Pisa and drop-
ped various weights from the top.
He was sometimes seen rolling a
lot of balls down inclined planes.
He finally had the nerve to gener-
alize all his experiments to pro-
pound the law of free-fall. Galileo
was a personal hero in our by-
gone school days, until these mod-
em historians debunked all the
myth and mystery. For what he
found out with that two-bit tele-
scope he deserves to be immortal;
he is still immortal in our opin-
ion.
However, being a genius is not
only foolish, it is downright dan-
gerous because the first thing you
must do is to prove you are one.
Those sly old philosophers of the
16th century, refused! to look
through Galileo’s “spyglass”
Consequently he could never prove
to the skeptic world, that what hq
saw it the sky was true. But this
sort of shenanigans happened
again in the 19th century, 300
years later, when Lord Rosse
wanted to show the beautiful Spi-
ral Nebulae with his great new
telescope. The wise philosophers
said they were just the scratches
left on the lens, by the grinder. So
when their pedestals begin to fall,
philosophers can be Worse than
schoolboys, for it takes more than
three centuries or three light-years
to rub out a spiral galaxie.
It is amazing and amusing to
read what some of those “wise
men” said of Galileo’s spyglass
They declared that the four (now
eleven) moons of Jupiter were pro-
duced by spots in the glass. A
curved looking-glass makes dis-
tortion, they said, illusion and un-
truth; so if a single curved glass
can so distort nature, what would
a pair of them do? The fact that
Galileo, by his sketches of Venus
had shown Capemicus to be right,
seemed to make no difference. So
there still was no Solar System.;
how stubborn can you get?
Then it took until 1935 to final
ly turn the Leaning Tower story
into a legend; luckily we gradu-
ated before then. Lane Cooper, an
American professor of English
wrote the book —* Aristotle, Gali-
leo and the Tower of Pisa; it is too
bad his sentiments were non-scien-
tific. From this we learn that Ga-
lileo may have dropped a few
weights from someplace, but
was not from Pisa. The Pisa idea
eamie from Viviani, a pupil, and!
Galileo never mentined it in any
The Library of Congress was
built around the private collection
of Thomas Jefferson, according to
World Book Encyclopedia. Con-
gress purchased Jefferson’s li-
brary after the first Library of
Congress was burned during the

of his works.
Galileo was an old man when
Viviani met him, some fifty years
after the experiments, and Viviani
waited many years after his mas-
ter’s death, to write the Pisa
story. He says there were crowds
of people who saw the weights
drop from the tower. It is peculiar
that not one of these eye-witnesses
has ever written a word about it.
If our historians keep this up,
they might even erase Galileo
from the science picture. It will
be a pity if all the future books
on Galileo will omit the old fami-
liar picture of the Leaning Tower
from their jackets.
The worst flow of all to us wor-
shippers of genius, is to learn, at
this late day, that Galileo spent
so much time in “proving” a false
theory about falling bodies. He
claimed that the speed of a fall-
ing body depended on the differ-
ence in the wieight of a unit vol-
ume of the (body, and the weight
df the sarnie volume of air. We
know this is a false theory; still
there is the dubious consolation
that perhaps these experiments
were never conducted at all.
Anyway they cannot take awaT
from, us the books written by Gali-
leo. His best was the Two New
Sciences, published in 1638 when
he was seventy four years old,
and there is enough in this work
to proclaim his genius and to make
him immortal. If we watch a pile-
driver, he says, we see that the
force of the blow depends upon the
distance of fall. But the weight of
the hammer remains constant,
says he, so it must be that the
speed of a falling body increases
“in step” with the distance fallen.
His work with pendulums was
only incidental. All he wanted was
some reliable means of timing
those balls rolling down the in-
clined planes at various angles of
slope. Still we have used pen-
dulums in time pieces ever since.
His first timer, by the way, was
stream of water from an ori-
fice. Our modern laboratory vis-
cosimeters use the same principle
and we have found nothing better
yet, for natural gas measurement,
than the orifice - meter.
Now we had better summarize
and try to reconcile this rambling
mixture of facts and contradic-
tions. Science never (could present
picture in black and white con-
trast, to the human mind. Many
shades and undertones of gray
have been brought in by doubt,

intrigue, myth and mystery, or ev-

So although genius is responsible
for the original step forward,
much foundation work has to (be
inserted to substantiate its wild
predictions. Discoveries may be
made, either by accident as in the
case of penicillin, or by intuition,
as with geniuses, too numerous to
mention.
Yet the most important instil?1
tion of all is the Class-room-and
Laboratory combination. Here in
school and college the steps of
science are slowly climbed until
the small field of select secrets
becomes the cultivated acres
of advanced scholarship. Here the
precious seeds are sown in mil-
lions of young minds, so that mod-
ern know-how and ingenuity, may
do the cultivating and nourish-
ing so necessary for the edifica-
tion of a modem civilization.
