THE NEED OF ADAPTABILITY

scientific research is both a blessing and a curse,
in the opinion of Dr. Thomas S. Baker, president Of
the Carnegie Institute of Technology.
1t is blessing obviously when it discovers how
to make bright dyes out of coal tar, artificial silk out
of cornstalks and rubber out of the juice of the milk
weed
Yet these very discoveries will much more
like curses to the who get their living by market
ing dyes artificial silk and rubber obtained in
settled, expensive ways.
. Every important forward step in technology, as
DR.. Baker points out is accomplished at the expense
of industry. The introduction of the electric
light blow to the gas industry. The introduc
tion of water power is hitting the coal mine
blow. The development of the automobile
ruined many carriage and bicycle manufacturer.
Plainly enough it isn't possible to remedy matters
by shutting down all research work. The quiet
in laboratories, who sometimes to hold the
destinies of whole nations in their hands, will keep
working; and some people, some industries will
tinue to suffer as result

"OLD PAINLESS AKE SLIPPING

Roger Babson, famous statstician made some
highly interesting remarks the other night at meet
ing of Boston business men.
After saying that he optimistic over New Eng
lands commercial and industrial future he added:
But | am not optimistic about the old New Eng
land families. Our business is passing into the hands
of immigrants and the of immigrants, while the
grandsons of the old families are playing golf
Within quarter of century, he added, the pres
dents of all Boston banks will be immigrants or the
of immigrants, and the famous old families Will
have passed out of the financial picture completely.
If there is any section of the country that special
ICES in Old Families, it is New England-and especially
Boston. Virginia, to be sure, has number of them.
and SO does Maryland; but nowhere has the Importance
as in Boston To bear the of Cabot Lodge, Pea
body, Satonstal, Endicott Lowell to be of
the elect and to bear such . Bren Cohen or
Bercovic was to be barbarian.
For many years these old New England families
justified their pretensions. They the financial
overords of New Engand--indeed, for time they
pretty much the financial overords of the whole
country. They furnished the country with of its
greatest statesmen authors artists, educators and
jurists. They believed that they born to rule,
and they did pretty fair job of it, too.
But Mr.. Babson believes that the end is near, and
it is not hard to agree with him. Boston has long
ceased to be the center of the counryS intellectual
activity. Instead it devotes itself to banning books
and plays that other cities find stimulating One of
Massachusetts, senators bears the good old of
Gillette; but the other, alas, is lrishman named
Walsh.
So it goes New blood keeps coming to the sur
face. Old dynasties give way before more energetic
newcomers Boston is only experiencing what all other
cities, from Florence on down, have gone through.
1t is impossible to keep financial industrial rule in
family forever
