SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY
"If a country can manufacture goods of superior quality, of constant novelty, or of exceptionally nigh performance, at reasonable prices, and keep on doing so, other countries are compelled to buy from it. Science is the modern key to such a situation, and new discoveries in science are .essential to maintain the industrial position of this country; in fact, science is the sentinel that must be posted at the door of every business house with the main object of preventing loss from want of knowledge. If we look round, surely nothing can bring greater hope to us than the realisation of the many comforts we enjoy as the result of research—electric light, the telephone, the telegraph, wireless, the internal combustion engine, ito mention only one or two of the more obvious."—Dr. A. W. Crossley, retiring president of the Chemical Society in an address dealing with the relationship of science to industry.
