Their point is, that the men of our day care little for specu lation upon any truth not directly and imme diately related to action. It is no longer a ques tion of the origin of ideas, but of the use Which can be made of them. How many spindles Will an idea turn? How many pounds pressure to the inch will it sustain? How much time Will it save? How much profit Will it pay? These are the questions of the present day; and these questions are designated practical.
