Economy in Science.

The increased extent to which the
large industrial corporations of the
country now support their own de
partments of scientific research is a
gratifying development of the times.
Science is regarded as a necessity
rather than a luxury. And this COM
ing of science into it's own as a large
factor in the industrial life of the
Nation is necessarily followed by a
certain reaction Of business upon
science. Never before, perhaps, has
the demand been so keen for research
that is no less than ever scientific in
spirit and in method but that de-
finite purpose and yields definite re-
suits. The idea of making science
useful is not new, but the utility of
science has become more universally
the test of its value.
In the scientific work done under
the Federal Government this demand
for results is abundantly justified by
the public need. If the strongest
corporations are making large use
OF chemists, physicists and geolo-
gists, the general public has similar
need in its service for applied
science. =
The business policy of organizing
scientific investigation for effective
work, however, is far from novel, for
in 1878, in the report to Congress
advocating the creation Of the United
State Geologicalsurvey, the National
Academy Of Sciences described the
ideal plan for a scientific bureau as
that which, would yield the chest re-
suits at the least possible cost
Since that day, moreover, economy
IN science has become more press
ing issue. t37th Ann. Report, Di-
rector q. s. Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior.)
