Science After the War 327
ties for their sons and daughters, must do their part. They
must see to it that their representatives in the Government
are pledged to give the State university more than adequate
support, and they must not forget the Rice Institute when
they make their wills. We want to get right away from the
idea that anything but the best is good enough for Texas.
There is nothing wrong with the sons and daughters of
Texas. They are of the best, and they ought to have
schools and universities of the best. It is up to the pepple
of Texas to see that they get them.

The progress of science is so intimately bound up with
the progress of education that a discussion of the future of
science is liable to become a discussion of the future of educa-
tion. Modern science requires highly educated students,
and the study of science serves as part of an education. The
education of scientists has sometimes been defective on the
literary side, and science has suffered in consequence. It is
to be hoped that the serious dangers of too early specializa-
tion will be avoided in the future. The point which I wish
to emphasize is that in order to have scientific progress you
must have good schools and good universities. Good schools
and good universities are also necessary for all other kinds
of progress—
e.g., commercial progress. You cannot de-
velop manufacturing industries to a high level except in a
well educated community. You cannot develop scientific
agriculture except in a well educated community. It would
pay the business enterprises of Texas to take a serious in-
terest in the schools and universities. How can the people
of Texas tell if their schools and universities are good?
There are many business men in Texas with sons and
daughters to be educated. They want their sons and
daughters to be well educated. Therefore they want to
know if the schools and colleges of Texas are really good.
