professor of philosophy at the university of pennsylvania in his address to the robert blake society friday evening showed that fundamentally they both ar rived at the same conclusion dr singer

ultimate perfectability of man on three means synthetic food universal aerial transportation and a source of energy other than steam dr singer continued by saying that these means are now to a certain extent within the reach of science but that no moral change is in sight in summarizing these two phil osophies dr singer showed that little hope was advanced for man kind by these two philosophical
