 WILL THE BEST PEOPLE RECEIVE THE SUPERMAN SOCIALLY?

E'VE been taking up Metabolism lately—our Little Group of Serious Thinkers, you know and it's wonderful;—just simply wonderful!

I really don't know how I got along for so many years without it—it opens up such new vistas, doesn't it?

I can never think in the same way again about even the most trivial things since I have learned all about Protoplasm and—and—well, all these marvelous scientific things, you know.

Isn't Science delightful!

There's the Cosmos, for instance. It had always been there, you know. But nobody knew much about it until Scientists took it up in a serious way.

And now I, for one, feel that I couldn't do without it!

Although, of course, one feels one's responsibilities toward it, too, and that is apt to be rather trying at times unless one has a truly earnest nature and is prepared to make sacrifices.
