Science For Use
Cincinnati Enauirerl

tCncHnlau enquirer
1t is a lamentabe fact that scientific progress
is ourunning social advancement and character de-
velopment among the human race-lamentable not
because scientific progress is swift. but because
the others lag behind
With vastly improved implements at their COM
mand the scientists of the world during the last
several decades have provided things of use to
the human than fashioned during the in
Vulnerable centuries before. 1t is not surprising that
social and character evolution have failed to keep
pace.
There exists already vast reservoir of useful
knowledge, accumulated through the swift develop
ment of science which is useless to the human race
because OF the backwardness of progress in other
lines. In medicine there are a host of discoveries
which would be Immediately useful, but which are
mot available for general application their utility
hamstrung by circumstances which await correction
by social development.
Medicine for some time has possessed the weapons
needed to stamp out the venerea diseases but the
scourge of syphilis and gonorrhea has ragged on while
medical men forced to await public education
to permit the general of those weapons whole
field of disease preventive medical activity awaits
adequate exploitation because its tremendous value
is as yet not fully appreciated and the money needed
for the exploitation is not available for it.
Discoveries in other branches of science remain
unused because the economic machine upon which
they must depend for application remains so grossly
inefficient Machinery which could be producing
wealth and comfort for entire population unbut
or idle as result of economic Embellishments lack
of vision political stupidity, social backwardness
These reflections are prompted by the meeting
OF the American Association For the Advancement of
Science at Indianapolis. There gathered men from
all divisions of science, to pool their knowledge look
ing toward the formation of supreme court of SCI
entfc knowledge for the general benefit of all demo-
cratic countries.
The move is one bright spot in a vale of world
perpexes Science articulate and organized for the
lindiscriminative benefit of mankind can work a
powerful influence in behalf of speeder social develop
ment lnteligenty directed and applied by all free
peoples-here is splendid and effective antidote for
science in the hands of those whose social outlook
has the same horizon as in the dark ages
