Washington and the nation should he
proud of the efficient corps OF scientists
gathered around many of the government
bureaus. DR.. Alexis Orban, librarian of
the Catholic University. says in his late
report to Bishop Kcane that OF all the
documents that come to his hands none
have greater value than the scientific
reports OF this government. Under the
modest title of report OF this bureau or
that commission. scientific works OF the
very highest value are found. If these men
were under a European government they
would be decorated with orders and the
greatest public reverence paid them. Here
1t seems to he a matter or course that these
devoted students should patiently toll and
study for meagcr salaries and content
themselves with the appreciation or the
scientific world. DIR. Orban, who is u
Frenchman,, and familiar with the high
honor and reward his country showers on
scientists, never tires OF expressing admira-
ton OF the honesty, simplicity and ability
of the gentlemen who compose the gov
ernment scientific corps. He saws their
work is simply Invaluable tn science and
their devotion to their specialties mar
velous. DR.. Orban Is competent to pass
judgment, and his opinion will no doubt
be gratifying to those concerned.
