SCIENCE'S WORK FOR CIVILISATION.
ADVANTAGES AND DANGERS OF MASS PRODUCTION.
GROWTH OF THE CINEMA AND THE TELEPHONE.
EFFECT OF MACHINERY UPON EMPLOYMENT.
The Society of Chemical Industry opened its forty-eight annual meet ing in the Manchester College of Technology, recently. More and more as the years go by these. gatherings take on an internation- al aspect, and so symbolise the com mon interest of mankind in the investigations and achievements of
science.
The membership of the Society is about five thousand, and it in cludes representatives in all the Dominions and in the United States, in addition to notable che mists on the Continent. About five hundred attended this year's con ference, which was presided over by Dr. Arthur D. Little. Among the delegates were Prince and Princess Conti, of Italy, Dr. L. V. Redman (New York), Professor Whitby (McGill University, Toronto), Mr. H. P. Mills (Toronto), Dr. Dorr (New York), and Dr. Hendrick (New York).
Science and Civilization.. The President, in his address, said that critics of the present age had declared that science threaten- ed to bring about the destruction of our civilisation, that the worker was becoming the siave of the ma- chine, and that mass production was enguling us in materialism and robbing the world of beauty.
This would be sorry outcome of our progress if it were true. But, he. held, science and the machine had been great creators of employ- ment, and had benefited society to an extent which was not fully ap-| preciated by everyone. The worker was indebted to the machine for enormous gaina

it appeared obvious that any device that enabled one. man to do the work of two must deprive the se cond man of his job.
"The typewriter undoubtedly dis- placed some copying clerks, but it provided employment for a far greater number. of typists, led to the establishment of special schools, and provided jobs for thousands in factories for manufacturing the machines and their ecessorice of ribbons, carbon paper, stencils, and so on.
The linotype, which enabled one man to do the work of six, reduced the hours of work from ten to eight and put wages up 20 per cent. It improved shop conditions and ensured greater regularity of....am- ployment. It eliminated the tramp printer, and ultimately provided more jobs and better jobs for workmen of a higher type.
The introduction of pnematic tools like the riveter, drill, and stone-chisel undoubtedly for a time deprived some men of work, but they so facilitated metal and stone work, the sinking of foundations, and the fabrication of steel struc turca that, in America at least, the volume of auch work increased so rapidly that many more men soon found employment in the operation of these machines, while the making of the machines themselves became an important industry.
been continuously nourished un research, for which it has developed an amazing appetite. To-day in the laboratories of the Western Electric Company over 3,900 people, more than half of whom are scientists and technicians, are eng aged in telephone research, as dis- tinguished from development. It pays, or it would not continue to be supported by appropriations of more than 13,000,000 dollars an- nually.
"Approximately 400,000 persons are directly engaged in the opera tion of telephone systems in the United States, and of thean about 250,000 are women. About 73,000 more, of whom some 17,000 are wo men, are directly employed in the
