ILLINOIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE 



their knowledge to the needs of the domestic science students. 

 What he was seeking was a woman who had a thorough 

 knowledge of chemistry and also of domestic science, and who 

 had made, as a part of her own education, the needed cor- 

 relation between the two. This brings me to the fundamental 

 fact in the high school situation in Illinois, as all roads lead to 

 Rome, viz., that the public is, as yet, more willing to put up 

 buildings, and to equip laboratories, miniature experiment 

 stations, and domestic science kitchens than it is to demand 

 and to pay for competent teaching. Is it out of place for me 

 to suggest to the members of the Academy that each of them 

 can do no greater service to the cause of science in this State 

 than to study and to seek to improve, if possible, the high 

 school science instruction in his own community?
