Research Workers

The marvellous advancement made by all branches
OF pure and applied sciences within the last few
years has been due in major part to the efforts Of
one class OF scientsts-the research worker. II has
been he who has struggled through countless expert
ments and countless disappointments to finally pro-
duce some marked advance for the benefit of hu
snanity. Some discoveries have been accidental no
doubt, but in the main every great discovery will
be found ~ have been produced by unknown and
s5pnsung research workers.
Naturally they must be highly trained; partcu.
arly conscientious scientists their findings would
be cf no value. They must have originality Of
thcnght SO as to blaze new trails and find ways
to do old things. It easily be seen that the re-
search worker is invaluable-yet he is really the
poorest paid in his line The chemical researcher
can only make about half the salary Of chemist
who Is holding down responsible job in the COM
1mercial world, yet his work requires more brains,
greater concentration and greater sacrifices Of time
SD iktort.
In fact 50 poorly paid are research men that
lsHee number Of them leaving the research field
the teaching prcfession which Is in itself very
poorly paid profession
This analysis does not apply to chemistry alone,
