life, where we get our comfort, and
where our wants are supplied--in
building. plumbing, farming, mining,
cooking-we live and work on a plane
far below what IL possible in the pres
ent state Of knowledge.
Economic waste is appalling-not
merely the waste Of prodigal extrava-
gance, or of ruinOus competition. but
also the waste by fire, by flood, by
forest denudation- Some people know
better; the masses do not. Then in
matters more serious and vital-in the
matter of food-of biological laws in
volved in reproduction, of sanitation
and the prevention of diseasee-there
are suggestions trembling on the lips
OF science which would be of vital i'm
portance to the world.
1.-The failure of science to relieve the
needs of life is of course most conspic-
uous in the condition of the masses. In
the English higher classes, IS per
cent Of infants die before reaching the
age of years; in the lower classes, 55
per cent! Death comes to all alike at
some time, but hurries to the cabin
and drags his slow approach to the
palace as though he had lead in his
heels.
During the last few years 10000
900 Hindus. subjects of the richest
empire on the globe, have perished by
starvation. Here. of course, we come
UP to the hard fact of social Unequal
ity. The poor cannot afford the pro-
ducts of skill and invention. They can
not get even the necessaries of life.
The Topeka state journal., 1914-01-17

am only speaking of the fact. The
fact remains that the material benefits
Of progress are not diffused. While
this very starvation has been dragging
its horrors along, that very empire
has expended. directly or Indirectly.
$1OO. 100000 upon the pomp Of a royal
jubilee!
I'VE raise wheat-plenty OF it-by
improved methods. we grind it by i'm
proved machinery, we transport it by
improved applications of motive pow
er; and there is plenty of money to
do all this-but there is the starvation
and there il the jubilee! The material
benefits of progress are not properly
diffused. The further fact that their
diffusion widens, not in proportion to
the increase of knowledge, but in pro-
portion to the increments of it's dis
semination, suggests that this great
riddle of suffering and social wrong
may yet meet with its solution in uni
versal education.
THE logical conclusion of all this Is.
of course. education! Hasten the radi-
alton of knowledge to the masses!
Bring science with its benediction to
the masses. What we want is to rap
idly assimilate the results of scientific
research, and pass them on to the arts
to legislation and to the molding OF
popular opinions and modes OF
thought" Edwin Markham, In the
