...wisdom and not necessarily less knowledge. More specifically, however, I would criticize the suggestion that all laboratory work be abolished in the general science course. Although objection to the average elementary laboratory course is well founded, it does not follow that all such work is valueless for the non-scientist. On the contrary. I believe that the student can only arrive at a real appreciation of the scientific method by actually doing experiments himself. In well-conducted laboratory work, students do not know definitely enough what the results will be to spoil the experiment as such, and experience in observation...
...Scientist Bombed. When two of Chang's airplanes flew over Peking early in the week, dropping bombs at random, their pilots little suspected that one bomb exploded within 20 feet of Roy Chapman Andrews, discoverer of the first dinosaur eggs known to moderns, chief of the American Museum of Natural History's division of Asiatic exploration. Mr. Andrews had wisely leaped beneath a box car when the airplanes soared into view, and was not among the five persons killed (all Chinese). Emerging from his impromptu shelter, he continued to supervise the loading of the car with scientific paraphernalia...
...British scientists look ahead. An eminent one ? the president of the Royal Anthropological Institute ? last week wrote to Dr. Ales Hrdlicka,* curator of physical anthropology in the National Museum (Washington, D. C.), to notify him that he had been honored with the Huxley Memorial Medal? for 1927 and would be expected in London a year from November to deliver the 1927 Huxley lecture before the Royal Anthropological Institute. No U.S. scientist save Professor William Zebina Ripley of Harvard (in 1908) had been so honored. It was recognition, gratifying indeed, of Dr. Hrdlicka's whole career, and in particular...
These are apparently strange words from a pure scientist. Yet Professor Pupin's position and experience merely serve to give them greater weight. Science has made the world smaller, bringing about multifarious political factions. Perhaps it is now going to find a method to eliminate these frictions by establishing a fraternity of science in an age when the fraternity of religion is at best a remembrance. At least any efforts made in that direction will receive the cooperation of intelligent minds scientific or other wise...
