THE IMPORTANCE OF BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH 257

 the subject by increasing the multij)licity of detail; the grow-

 activities to a narrower line of work if he is to know his subject 

 as he should. The narrower the Held of labor, the more de- 

 tached the worker from the general public whom he serves.

 cessity, greater every day, of according him adequate support.
