Sinopsis

Excerpt from Mind and the Nation: A Precis of Applied Psychology

It is instructive to cast a glance over the topics which have hitherto formed the chief items in these discussions on reconstruction. AS might be expected Industry looms largest. In the Report of the Committee of the Privy Council for Scientific and Industrial Research for the year 1916-17 we find a list of Standing Committees on Engineer ing, Metallurgy, Mining, and Glass and Optical Instruments. Allied to these are research committees on Mine Rescue Apparatus and Abrasives and Polishing Powders, as well as inquiry committees on Lubricants and Lubrication, Zinc and Copper, and Irish Peat. An Appendix gives the text of a pamphlet on the Government Scheme for Industrial Research. Nearly allied to the various Industrial Schemes is Scientific Research, so nearly allied, indeed, that the boom in science, so far as it has any considerable public and political support, is directed almost entirely to the physical sciences. The scientists themselves emphasize and reiterate the importance Of pure science, but even the strongest argument is that only through it can material advance in the practical applications of science be attained.
