of things in a certain way, and we have certain relationships that are 
very pleasant to us. I will admit that with some of the papers, all I can 
do is to look wise, but I have received a great benefit from a good many 
of them, and have gone back home resolved to understand more fully these 
things that are brought to our notice. 
So far as the work of the small institutions of the State is concerned, 
you have only to look at the program to see that the small institutions 
have done their share in producing the scientific men that have been an 
honor to Indiana. We are very proud of them today. 
I want to thank you for listening to the words I have spoken, but I 
think you can listen to better advantage to those Who are to follow me. 
Proressok Dennis: Mr. Milo H. Stuart, of the Manual Training 
High School, has been requested by the committee to speak on the subject 
of High Schools. He was principal of the High School at St. Paul before 
coming here, and is certainly as well qualified to speak from that stand- 
point as any member of the Academy. 
Proressor Mito H. Sruart: Mr. Toastmaster, Ladies and Gentle- 
men: It is easy to see, in the splendid addresses to which we have been 
listening, why the Academy has endeared itself to the people of Indiana. 
I would be pleased to add other reminiscences if I could do so, but I am 
too late a recruit to make any contribution along that line. 
Coming from the High School field, I naturally think of the work of 
the Academy from that standpoint. As we have heard these inspiring 
addresses today I have been thinking how fine it would be if every science 
teacher of the State of Indiana could have been induced to come to this 
fount of inspiration. I believe he would have gone back to his classes 
with fresh ardor. 
We all remember when we left our Universities and got into original 
work, how great a pleasure it was to feel that we had contributed just a 
little to the volume of knowledge. The compensation that comes from 
that kind of labor is certainly very great, and it seems to me if the teach- 
ers of the State could come into touch with the people who are doing it, 
they would feel their load a great deal lighter. I know they would take 
back to their boys and girls inspiration that would fast make scientists out 
of them. 
This Academy of Science marks its twenty-fifth milestone today, and 
its face is set toward the golden anniversary. I am reminded of the story
