Abstract
IN the remarkable differences between the world to-day and that of a century ago, the good changes and the evil are in the last resort due mainly to the use or misuse of scientific discovery. Men of science are, of course, not the sole agents in the transformation; their work is applied by others, under the direction of industrialists and Governments, for private gain or for the public good as judged by statesmen and administrators.
