 His address was a plea for laborato- ry methods, for the earnestness and the exactness of the man of science. It was an appeal for a continual ad- vancement of the field of human knowI- edge striking illustration was his story of the Indian who when asked
 why he did not learn more of the things which the white man taught replied l first by drawing two circles In the | sand with a stick, one within the other. Pointing to the small circle he
 said, "All Indian knows is in here" Pointing to the larger circle which included the other he said, What white
