It is clearly in the interest of the nation that there should not be a sharp line of demarcation between the man with scientific knowledge and the man with administrative powers. We have already suffered unduly from this. If the man of science is to be branded from his youth upwards as unfit for administrative posts, many men with good brains will forsake science in favour of some less restricted vocation,
"Is our great alkali trade less, or more, successful. because many administrative poats are held by competent chemists? Did the dyestuff industry on the Rhine suffer because of the technical knowledge of most of the directors? Was the late Lord Moulton impeded in his administrative duties by the fact that he knew enough chemistry to detect fairly speedily the charlatan or the crank? The more the scientific man is confined to his laboratory or the lecture room the less influence he has on the community. It, is essential that science shall be more and more brought before the attention of all sorts and conditions of men and already a great deal of harm” has been done in many departments by placing in charge-of-them chiefs who were unsympathetic towards, or ignorant of the mentality of those with whom they were brought into contact.
