Science BefOgged,

Concerning those who, although
ableare unwilling to take the rouble
to write tor theirreaders or SD ak fol
their hearers, IL somewhat me re ex-
tended comment may be desirable
1T is always difficult to make lust
analysis of motives, but there can be
little doubt that some of these are
influenced by Il desire to initiate the
rare genius whose intellectual ad-
vances are so rapid and so powerful
rs to forbid all efforts to secure a
clear and simple presentation of re-
suits. The king is lame and the
courtier must limp. With others
there IS strange and unwholesome
prejudice against making science
lntelligible, for fear that science may
become popular. 1t is forgotten
that clear and accurate expression.
and that as n matter of fact the two
are almost inseparable.
The apparent success before the
people of the dlettante and the
charlatan has resulted, in the case of
many good and able men, in a posi-
tive aversion to popular approval.
1t should never he forgotten that
the Judgment and taste of the pub
lie in matters relating to science are
Just as susceptible of cultivation as
in music and the fine arts, and that
scientific men owe it to themselves to
see that opportunity for this culture
is not withheld.-Proiessor II. G..
