IN POLITICAL QUARTERS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRHIGT. Received August 27, 12.15, p.m. ‘ LONDON, Aug. 26. In his presidential address at the British Association at Southampton, Professor Horace Lamb discussed Nature and the purpose of science. He ;Aoressed the opinion that the quarters exhibiting a suspicious dishke l'or science were now political rather than ecclesiastical. The 'habits of sober, accurate analysis promoted by science were not always favourable to social and economic theories, resting mainly on an emotional .basis. Referring to the disappointment and disillusion sometimes expressed by the statement that science had not produced an era of nrosperity and international reconciliation. Professor Lamb pointed out that science was unable to improve human nature, hut claimed that science tended to increase intellectual, materia 1 , and even the aesthetic possessions of the world.—Reuter.
