CALLS ACCESSIBILITY
 OF KNOWLEDGE A WASTE
Engineering Foundation Director Says Research Is Constantly
 Supplanting Old Data

New Haven, July 2 Pl-Inacessi- bility of knowledge is the greatest cause of waste and one of the most deplorable of human handicaps said Dr. Alfred D. Flynn of New York director of the engineering foundation said today in an address before the summer school engineer ing teachers of Yale
 The pace of modern life in re- lation to the arts and professions is so rapid that the coordination of practice and research is becoming vital to progress in the engineering field,' Dr. Flynn said The problem of putting existing knowledge quick ly into the hand of the man on the job is one that must be solved by a wider distribution of scientific in formation. So comprehensive is the progress of civil engineering that engineers of single great enterprises have to apply directly or indirectly a large portion of human knowl- edge" Dr. Flynn continued, Re search is constantly supplanting old data found to be incorrect or no longer sufficiently precise.
 Inaccurate data and wrong concep- tions of the natures of substances and their performances under vari- ous conditions of stress, motion, temperature and moisture lead to faulty practice eventuating in eco- homie waste failure and even dis asters."
