Excerpt: ... the metric system or weights and measures. I.--Recent Progress of Meirological Reform. Introduction. Gentlemen Of The Convocation: The sense of the right of property is an instinctive feeling, of which the existence is co-extensive with intelligence. We find abundant evidence of its presence in the lower animals as well as in ourselves. The dog, for instance, when he has satisfied his hunger, carefully stores up the superfluous bone of to-day, in prudent provision for the anticipated wants of the morrow. The beast, of the forest bears his prey to the lair which he has appropriated to himself; and the birds defend with spirit the nests which their own labors have constructed. In the social animals, as the beaver, and the social insects, as the ant and the bee, we see the principle more broadly developed. In these cases, the dwelling which the common toil has constructed or prepared, and the stores which the common industry has gathered, are the common property of all; and are-apportioned for the benefit of individuals upon principles which we probably do not understand. But the lower animals, though they appropriate to themselves articles which seem desirable, and assert a right of property in the objects thus appropriated, never propose to relinquish one possession in consideration of an equivalent offered in the form of another. They have no notion of commerce or exchange even in its simplest form. The commercial idea makes its first appearance in man. It is present in every stage of human civilization. Its earliest practical illustration is in the form of barter, in which objects supposed to have value are exchanged one against the other; or a single one of a certain description for several of another. But as wealth increases, ..

The Metric System is now in common use in France, Germany, austria-hungary, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Bel gium, The Netherlands, Roumania, Servia, Egypt, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Salvador, Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, The Argentine Republic, Haiti, and Santo Domingo. It has also been adopted officially by Venezuela, Uru guay, Turkey, and British India, although in these four countries it can hardly yet be said to be in common use. Japan, too. Has announced her intention of adopting a modified form of it, and even China has a decimal system of weights and measures, although it is not the French Metric Sys tem. England, Russia, and the United States are the only great nations that still refuse to adopt the Metric System. Its advantages are many, and the only really serious objection appears to be, that the change from our present units to the new ones would be more or less confusing and annoying for the first few years. Much of this annoyance and confusion could be pre vented by providing school children with cheap sets of metric measures and weights, and requiring each child to measure and weigh a certain number of objects every week. In this way the units and their. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Metric System of Weights and Measures That Great Britain is not ready to adopt the metric system is evidenced by the fact that quite recently the British Parliament rejected a bill proposing to make the metric system compulsory. If Canada is anxious to do something in the matter it might be well for her to give some attention to the present movement in the United States as expressed in a bill introduced into the House of Representatives by Mr. Towne. This bill prepares for a commission, to be made as representative as possible, and to be empowered to consider and investigate not only the metric system, but the whole question of weights and measures, and to invite Great Britain, and hence her colonies, to join forces with the United States in the investigation. Such a commission would evidently arrive at such conclusions as would be worthy of serious consideration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Metric System of Weights and Measures The following was prepared to answer some of the more simple questions addressed to the Bureau of Standards in regard to the metric system of weights and measures and its use. The essential features of the system were embodied m a report made to the French National Assembly by the Academy of Sciences in 1791; A number of other nations were invited to cooperate with F rance in establishing the new system, and Holland, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, and several minor States were represented on an international commission which met in Paris 'in 1799 to accept the metric standards constructed under the direction of the French Institute. Although the metric system very soon attracted the favorable attention of other nations, it was not until forty years later that its use became general in France. Since 1840, however, its use has rapidly spread until at the present time it is either obligatory or permissive in every civilized country in the world. Its -use was made lawful throughout the United States by act of Congress in 1866, and at the same time provision was made to supply every State in the Union with a set of metric weights and measures.
