EXPERTS ARE URGED
FOR PUBLIC OFFICE
Dr.. AydeIotte Says Democra-
cies Court Danger in Failure
to Obtain This Service
TALK AT DRExEL EXERCISES

Danger 10 this country as well as toI
other democracies in their failure to en-
courage and reward expert service was
pointed out by DR.. Frank Aydelottc'
president Of Swarthmore College, at the
annual commencement exercises OF
Drexel Institute. held in the audito'
rum Of the school today.
"I AM sure" said the speaker. 'that
the larger number of you are not going
to enter the service Of the United states
Government. That is because this Gov
ernment. as well as other demoCraCies,
has not yet learned to employ. control
and reward this type of man and wom-
an. That furnishes one Of the great
dificulties in the way OF achieving the
characterization of industry. When this
is done the troubles of the world will be
nearly ended.
at is one of the traditions Of democ-
racy that the expert is not to be. IA
vored, Yet autocratic Governments have
always known how TO employ experts ana
have done so with great success. Great
rppublics in the past have fallen be-
cause they did not adopt this policy.
The expert is subject to n numbe'
nf restrictions. He cannot seek po-
>ition. Experts are controlled in this
country by those who are not, and in
principle that is right.
There is a tradition that publ
service must not be rewarded with largo
salaries. which is right. and yet demo-
.ratic Governments must learn to soc
,hC expert as does the large corporation
and pay him accordingly, II they are 10
rot the same service.
The saving grace with the expect
hat preserves professional honor on the
"nc hand and prevents his enslavement
on the other is the professional spirit
No one Is worthy of expert knowledge
Who does not use It for the general serv-
&c of those about him.
