THE WAY OF SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENT.
“Rontgen, examining his vacuum glow, did not foresee that ho was to revolutionise surgical operations. But it is just the clear vision of one step which means progress— whither wo knew not. hut nevertheless progress. Whilst many are fighting themselves blindly against the wall of mystery, here and there a leader can discern pices where the wall is yielding, wliero attack can force an aperture. The light does not penetrate the aperture; ii is sufficient if it illuminates the stone that has next to be loosened. AVe cannot ask more of a scientific leader than that his vision shall suffice for the next step. In the country of the blind tlie one-eyed man is king.”—Professor A. Stanley Eddington, D.Scv, LL.D., F. R.S., in an address to the Friends’ Guild Teachers on “Tlie Purpose of Science.’’
