THE SCIENTIST 
The following from the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, pub- 
lished during the meeting of the American Association for the 
Advancement of Science in that city, is so good, and incidentally, 
so comforting to our conceit, that we reproduce it here for the 
benefiit of our readers: 
“Popularly speaking, the scientist is to society in general a 
something apart. We know he is there busy on the inside with 
laboratory experiment and busy on the outside with labored re- 
search in investigation. We regard him highly, respect him sin- 
cerely and forget him entirely until some wonder work of devel- 
opment or discovery brings some one of him into the limelight 
of public attention. 
“Now this is not unflattering to the scientist, but on the con- 
trary is wholly complimentary. We recognize him as our guide, 
philosopher and friend blazing the way to knowledge, but some 
planes removed from us in the average of the upward climb to- 
ward achievement. Except the fundamentalists whose dogma he 
may disturb, we accept him at his word and take what he teaches 
us as the latest in that particular line. In the fields of utility we 
grant him the halo of a benefactor of his race. We recognize him 
as the giver of good gifts in adding constantly to the interest and 
comfort, even the exhilaration and luxuriousness of life.” 
THE CINCINNATI MEETING OF THE A. A. A. S. 
The Association meetings extended from Dec. 27 to Jan. 2. 
Among the affiliated societies meeting with the Association at 
which papers on entomology were read were the Entomological 
Society of America, the Am. Ass. of Economic Entomologists, 
and the Ecological Society of America.
