236 THE PATH OF SCIENCE 



present is to better our present foothold; to investigate; 

 to comprehend the forces of nature; to set our State ration- 

 ally in order; to stamp down disease in body, mind, and 

 government; to lighten the monstrous misery of our fellows, 

 not by windy dogmas, but by calm science.* 



* R. A. Gregory, op. cit., p. 233.
