WHEAT ADVANCE DUE

statement, "First, there are 100000

Science

The United States is making the
greatest strides of all countries in
both theoretical and applied science.
The Generalization of central Eu.
rope is largely responsible, but add
ed to- this is the great growth of
popular interest in science, since the
war.
There is one great obstacle in the
way, however. An English-speaking
person who starts on a scientific ca
reer must, among other things, &C.
quire at least two foreign languages.
The English language is much richer
in words than any other and is spo-
ken by more persons, but it is def
ciet in works of reference. The one
great work pertaining to the vege-
table kingdom Is in German. The
great reference works, without which
no chemist can identify an organic
compound. is in German. Other ref
erence works are in French.
The English speaking scientific
world needs a codification Of ( all
knowledge pertaining to the natural
sciences.
