Although this country at the present writing is probably farther in the rear than any other great nation of the world in its efforts to control the venereal diseases as a national problem, it is fortunate in having had the way paved for it by epoch-making movements such as those of the Scandinavian countries, and by the studies of the Sydenham Royal Commission on whose findings the British Government is now undertaking the greatest single movement against syphilis and gonorrhea that has ever been launched.
In the first edition of this work I endeavoured to prove, on the strength of Kowalevsky's epoch-making discoveries, that "of all the animals known to us the Tunicates are undoubtedly the nearest blood-relatives of the Vertebrates; they are the most closely related to the Vermalia, from which the Vertebrates have been evolved.
Especially interested, too, as to what Labor was going to make of Christianity, and well aware how could he fail to be, as Chairman of that great, that epoch-making Commission of 1892? of the advancing strength of organized labor on all horizons.
The fact that something closely resembling the organism of malaria was discovered in this blood, and that Joyce-Armstrong is known to have suffered from intermittent fever, is a remarkable example of the new weapons which modern science has placed in the hands of our detectives. And now a word as to the personality of the author of this epoch-making statement.
You will probably remember those Titanic articles that appeared at the beginning of the war in The Weekly Luggage-Train, dealing with all the crimes of the War Office the generals, the soldiers, the enemy of everybody, in fact, except the editor, staff and office-boy of The W.L.T. Well, the writer of those epoch-making articles confesses that he owes all his skill to his early training, when, a happy lad at his little desk in school, he used to write trenchantly in his note-book on the subject of the authorities.
Between education and the attainments of science and invention there is some connection, though genius often defies all conventional methods of instruction. In addition to the epoch-making inventions of McCormick and his competitors, Samuel F. B. Morse had perfected his electric telegraph, which was in operation in most of the countries of Europe before 1860.
Nine-tenths of her news so vital, so epoch-making over there loses its significance, and the rest is as the scuffling of ghosts in a back-attic. Here in Yokohama the Overseas Club has two mails and four sets of papers English, French, German, and American, as suits the variety of its constitution and the verandah by the sea, where the big telescope stands, is a perpetual feast of the Pentecost.
"That ought to have convinced them of her honesty," remarked Fowler, with a note of amusement in his voice, "but it didn't; these scientific folk are so difficult." "No," I replied, "it didn't convince them, but it jarred them not a little. In their report they admitted this much. "That seems to me like a very mild statement, but I suppose they considered it epoch-making," remarked Fowler.
Dancing and acting were excluded by him, and the rôle of narrator introduced. His broad, simple treatment of chords enhanced the purity and beauty of everything he wrote, and in his hand recitative gained character, grace and musical expressiveness. Only a small portion of his epoch-making work has been preserved, but quite enough to make clear his title "Father of Oratorio and Cantata."
In all these respects, Schubert was epoch-making; and if the beautiful details he suggested to his successors up to the present day could be taken out of their works there would be some surprising blanks. Especially also is this true in the realm of lyric song, for, as everybody knows, he practically created the art song as we know and love it.
