HIGHER EDUCATION
MELBOURNE, June 3.
Professor Osborne, iu addressing a meeting of business men, spoke in unsparing terms of the contemptible position which England occupied' in relation, to Germany and the United States in her attitude of indifference towards science and higher education. He attributed the menace of Germany's growing rivalry to the work done in German laboratories, and he ironically pointed to the contrast between the concern felt in England over the victories gained by the visiting Australian cricketers or the New Zealand footballers and the indifference shown when Germany, by purely intellectual effort in her laboratories, had robbed England of her Indian indigo trade. He was far more afraid of Germany's organic chemistry than he was of her canals or Dreadnoughts.
