I N TRODUCTION

Had our grandparents been told that it would be possible to speak to

friends by means of a telephone to almost any part of the world simply

by lifting a receiver, and asking for a number, they would have laughed

us to scorn. Yet today that is an accomplished fact. What those

grandparents would have thought had they been told about modern

wireless may be better imagined than expressed. This goes to prove how

ready the world is to scoff at some new thought or fact unknown to it,

whatever the generation, past, present or future.

What now appears to be wonderful and bordering on the miraculous,

will be accepted by the next generation as a normal event. It is only a

matter of progress and evolution. A prophet is never a hero in his own

country, neither for that matter is a pioneer, whose ideas and

aspirations differ from the established conception of things, received

with any great enthusiasm by his fellow-man.
