Salt Lake City, July 8.-Pres. John
H. Worst of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, was the chief speaker
of the day at the immense convention
of the National Educational associa-
tion now in session here,
President Worst was heard by not
ed educators not only from all parts
of the. United States but from all
countries of the world who have
gathered here to listen to the Ameri-
can ideas on modern education.
The subject of the distinguished
North Dakota educator was The
Danger Of Over -Specializatio in Work
and Science In part DR.. Worst said:
1T is not my purpose TO discuss
this subject from the viewpoint of the
scientific enthusiast. 1t is well
known fact that a. single branch of
some particular science is sufficient to
occupy the lifetime Of the earnest
Investigator who may die at last with
his work but scarcely begun. Re-
search is tedious work at best. The
truths of nature are written, as it
were, in heiroglyphs -dfmcult to de-
cipher. Once demonstrated however,
scientific facts not only illuminate and
enrich the understanding but their APP
plication to the industries of life
facilitates labor and cheapens produc-
ton. Moreover, our civilization de-.
pends upon and keeps pace with
scientific discovery. But not until
within a very recent period has
science been given q. consistent place
in educational curricula. The body of
scientific knowledge, however, has be-
come so vast and simplihed and its
usefulness SO universally recognized
that its more general dissemination
among the masses is demanded.
"A distinction much be, recognized,
however, between the investigator, as
such, and the teacher, for the in
Vestigator should not be discouraged
from the most intensive specialization.
The investigator is in search of truth
for truths sake and is content to de-
vote a life OF study and research in
order to demonstrate a single scienti-
tic truth. The average student, on the
other hand. desires knowledge of
science, as rule, for practical pur-
poses and for immediate consump-
ton.
For students, in general, therefore,
the instructor should teach science in
.usable form; that is to say in the
form that Will best serve the students
the student with life. And as most
young men not preparing to enter coll
lege will, by force Of circumstances,
pursue some productive calling, the
science subjects that bear directly up
on their vocational problems should
take precedence, should certainly be
given equal emphasis with subjects
merely cultural or formal. The
worlds work must be done and inso-
far ais science training enables men
and women TO become more skillful
and hence more useful. 1t has mis-
sion in general education The train
ing offered, however, should not be
fragmentary. 1t should be connected
and usable In order to accomplish a
definite purpose, and also must ap-l
peal to the Students interests to in
sure sustained effort on his part.
There IS little danger of over
special lization where the training
