iiinxnumww Every age of man produces industrious workers who, by taking established facts, one by one, and properly placing them, lead up to inevitable, logical conclusions. Such was true of the leaders of the Industrial Revolution, who took their limited knowledge, combined the right ideas in the right way, and produced our dynamic machine age. Contributing in no small way were the mathematicians, From the invention of the simplest counting device through the electronic com- putor, men have realized the need for the science of numhers. mathe- matics. These deligent people through the ages have painstakingly' systematically, placed principle upon principle to huild this invaluable science. As a trihute to the genius of such great mathematicians as lfuclid, Erasmus and lfinstein. everything around us in life is affected by some phase of mathematics. Surprisingly, man has hardly hegun to realize the potentials of this science. Its present henetits represent only a minute portion of its hidden possibilities, which lack only an ellort to reveal them. However, all processes and calculations, tremendous as they appear to us, are quite inhnitesimal compared to the infinite niaiesty of God. .lf If lufernlezlirzfe is fbix difficult, wlml will Tf'lg0?l0Ul6lfYl' be like? llvell, lbese graphs worked out last night!

It is still gaining in power and importance since the days of its commencement in Germany in 1154 when Johann Gutenberg invented the movable type. It is with knowledge of the potency of communica- tion through newspaper in particular that we try to teach budding young journalists the proper use of the printed word. The staff of our Students' Pen aim to learn and benetit from the techniques of reporting and editing. XY'hile they are now merely fashioning a pub- lication for the enjoyment of the students of St. Dominic's, and as yet have not turned their pens into mighty swordsg nevertheless, it is through the incipient stages of newspaper work that the most capable re- porters are trained for proper and truthful com- munication to the people. The evil and false ideas which have risen to great heights in our day and age can only be eradicated with a weapon more powerful and far reaching than they. The printed word is this weapon.
