Th!ere are historical periods when general en lightenment seems to have advanced by leaps and bounds; but when one takes cognizance of the tens of thous ands of years that man has been at play In the Kindergarten of Creation, one is aware of the very gJalualani deliberate character of human prog ress as a whole; and this deliberate ness of growth, and the remains of I ignorance and superstition even In minds regarded as educated, come largely from the inability of men to \ keep their thoughts employed stead fastly on the various objects and problems of matter, mind and life.
