Scientific Investigation.

IN addition to all this the people
OF the state must not forget that the
economic work cannot be sustained
and promoted in a satisfactory man

healthy amount of what is known as
purely scientific investigation. The
economic reports are really based
UPON purely scientific work, although
given to the public in language which
is simple and easily understood
After all the reports,-on building

been published the survey will be in
a position to furnish more valuable
information to parties interested in
the development of the natural re-

the present time. The geological
survey should be perpetuated and #
properly sustained can be of vast i'm
portance to the healthy development
Of Wisconsin resources.
