ED UCATI0N IN REPORTS

The United States Government is
head and shoulders above all others in
encouraging scientific research which
viii benefit the industries and COM
merce." said Prof. Willis Moore, who
has just returned to Washington from
a trip abroad. He attended the inter-
national meteorological convention in
England
Not only does the United States en-
courage such research" continued Prof
Moore. but 1t spreads the knowledge
thus obtained throughout the country
with a generous hand. l was particular
ly impressed with the different attitude
in regard TO such work abroad. In Eng
land if a man desires a government re-
port he must buy it. An Englishman
who wishes to read the report of the
board of education must pay ten shillings
for the privilege. The government ap-
pears not to encourage the reading or
reports made by various scientific de-
partments.
Information Refused.
1T is conservative even about giving
out information to a citizen seeking IL
at the very bureau which concerns Itself
with the subject in question. No matter
what the report may be, whether it oc-
cupies volumes or a folder. it must be
bought.
II say this in no disparagement OF
English scientists. and the scientific
bureaus OF the English government. Eng
land has produced some OF the greatest
and abiest scientific minds that have ex-
listed in the world.
THE strange fact rs that the United
States reaps the benefit of their works
probably to greater extent than the
English people.
American Education
For the valuable results of their
labors are published by the government
OF this country, together with those OF
our own scientists. and sent out to thou
sands of citizens OF the United States
free OF charge.
THAT the United States leads the
world in commerce and the vast improve
ment in its industries, which is contin-
ually going on. is due In large part to
the discrimination OF the facts discov-
cred by American scientists.
Every year. for instance, the Depart
ment of Agriculture sends out 100000
year books, covering its work to the far
mers OF this country. And so Il is IN
every line OF scientific investigation The
United States has attained the foremost
position in the commercial world by
educating its people
New Instruments.
Prof. Moore said that he had arranged
for the purchase Of some scientific in
struments while abroad, and that an
agent OF the Weather Bureau is now
travelling in Germany among the manu-
factories. He said. however. that most
of the instruments that will be used in
the bureaus work will be made in
America.
Commenting on the meteorological con-
vention, Prof. Moore said much was done
toward cooperation between the wealth
er bureaus of the different countries.
Such action will. however. be OF more
benefit TO the contiguous countries of
Europe than to the United States. which
is separated from them by the Atlantic
Ocean.

today.

Whatever the chances may be of hos
tilities between Japan and Russia. moth
ing is more certain than that a war of
that character would be one of the
strongest arguments for high prices for
American securities that could possibly
be framed The exports of our food
stuns would, under such circumstances.
Immediately and enormously increase,
at no doubt higher range of prices.
and the business of our railway lines
terminating on the Pacific Coast would
likewise be greatly augmented.
1t is generally admitted In well in
formed circles that trade in the United
States is undergoing a normal reac-
ton from the feverish activity of the
last few years. But it is not admitted
that this country is about to be plunged
into business insolvency. The course Of
stocks may induce many people TO be-
iicve the industrial activities in the
United States are upon the verge
Of a collapse, but careful in
vestigation OF the factors underlying
the business situation will convince per-
sons OF sound minds that the period of
business progress is not yet over.
There is absolutely no reason for the
condition OF the American Car and
Foundry Company for investment Hqui-
dalton of the preferred stock Earnings
are at the rate of $500. 600 net month.
while orders on the company's books
are large enough to supply the concern
with work for the next twelve months.
Even In times of business depression the
American Car and Foundry Company
should be able to pay its dividend on its
preferred stock without calling on its
cash surplus. which runs far up into
the millions
