Excerpt from Science Remaking the World
Nothing can be more certain than that the character and rapidity of our national development in all matters which relate to industry, agriculture, public health and the preservation of the physical framework of our civilization will be dependent upon the quantity and quality of sound research which is carried on. The truth of this assertion becomes even more apparent when one recognizes the fact that every modern nation stands in relation of industrial and commercial competition with other nations, and, in the measure in which this is true, to fall behind the others in scientific development is to precipitate a trend of events which spells national depression. And disaster. In other words, the price of a sound, comprehensive national life is, in these times, widespread and intelligent scientific research.
