DISBURSEMENTS OF AMERICAN
SGIENCE

In the January number of the North
American Review Carl Snyder undertook
to show how inferior is the place OF
America in the scientific world In the
February number Professor Simon New
comb admits that Mr.. Snyder's distress
ing picture fitted the immediate past, but
that to-day investigators of the first
class in all the sciences are coming for
ward in every direction. The professor
then goes on, however, to show, as Mr..
Snyder did, only more fully, the condi-
lions which discourage scientific work in
America. In few words they are, as
he sees them, lack of appreciation of the
Individual scientific investigator and fail
ure to help him to the environment in
which he can do his best work, and lack
of sympathetic contact between the great
minds of science and letters and arts
and the great men of political life.
In this country there are no such re-
wards for the, pure scientist or scholar
as England gave to Huxley and Max Muel-
Ter, as France gave to Pasteur and is CIV
ing to Berthelot. It is not that there is no
appreciation Of science in America. On
the contrary Professor Newcomb finds that
both our government and our people take
a keen interest in science and are eager
to apply it's newest discoveries. But we
do nothing, or next to nothing, to en-
courage the Investigator, the Individual.
If he makes a discovery we eagerly take
it UP and forget to thank him. Notwith
standing our immense resources and our
multiplicity of institutions of education,
we are poor in agencies that are helpful
to the man with an idea.
AS T, h Journ has suggested be-
fore, the Carnegie institute promises to
The fact that it is to be located at Wash
ington will tend to bring together men Of
science and men of government, and this
association will lead to governmental en-
couragement and rewards for men of
thought. The men of action will learn to
depend upon the men of thought for in
formation and instruction on all national
fields of knowledge, and thus the scholars
and students will. not be so completely
out Of touch with great affairs as they
have been and are in this country. In
England, as Professor Newcomb puts it.
national leadership of every kind is
united in homogeneous mass" The
same is largely true of France. In both
countries statesmen are scientists and
litterateurs as well. In this country the
line of separation between leadership in
politics and affairs and leadership in
thought is we'll defined. The consequence
is that the American public, so keen and
alert and so well Informed generally,
knows almost nothing about the country's
leaders in science, much less, in fact,
than is known about them in other coun-
tries. The Carnegie institute will pro-
vide the budding genius with every form
Of apparatus and every material assis-
lance that he may need while contact
of men of learning with the men who ad-
ministrate the government will inspire
the latter with respect for the individual
scientific worker and, through them, the
nation.

Citizens should give careful attention
TO the call made upon them to assist in
entertaining the delegates to the national
education convention. which is to meet in
Minneapolis in July. The number of Wis
ltors will so far exceed the capacity of
the hotels that it is necessary to seek
accommodations in boarding. houses and
private homes. All of the delegates will
be OF such unreasonable excellence of
character that citizens need have no
hesitation about admitting them to their
homes.

they do now, by raising the rate of in

ether day because of a bundle. He reports
that he was astounded to note that every

RANT in its appointments, nicely heated and

able and contented; the conductor was polite

local papers because they had to walk so
far to get to the door.
