Americaus Too Busy to Devote Them

Inc American man of science works
In the general laboratory of applica.

made under American conditions. II
mas not been here that chemistry has
oeen recognized by the periodic law Of
mendeleJeff, or physics by Helmholtz's
conception of the conservation of en-
ergy- The greatest work of mathe-
mates has not come from Americans.
and 1t is not from them Of we except
the work of Willard and Walcott
Globs) that the flying leap has been
taken from the conceptions Of the
mathematician to the concepts of
molecular or chemical physics. Amer
lean physicists last winter seemed to
be principally occupied in describing
to more or less popular audiences what
French and English physicists had ac-
complished In radium and radiant en-
ergy.
The broad, continuous record is
made here In q wide round. So is the
practical application of scientific dis
covery made elsewhere; but the initial
discovery. the co-ordinating theory La

Bessemer, a German, discovered the
steel process that bears his name. En-
gl1sh capital applied 1t. The United
states makes more than half the
worlds Bessemer. This is not an in
variable sequence, but 1t is frequent.

1t Is In this country. most rife with

In original research, that Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie has given to this special work
the largest endowment yet consecrated
TO the extension of the boundaries of
knowledge. 1t is favorite theory in
American scientific circles that much
discovery Is stified here by the insist
ent claims of teaching on time and
strength. If this be so the revenue
OF the Carnegie Institute furnishes an
escape. If it does not the cause for
the relative absence of discovery must
be looked for In our imperfect elemen-
tary education, which stiles where 1t
should stimulate and dulls by routine
and mechanical teaching, leaving the
mind unable to profit to the highest by
higher study In succeeding years.
