Excerpt from Proceedings of the Delaware County Institute of Science, Vol. 7: May, 1914 Clearly we cannot look to the family for anything better than negative help in this; in general it supplies no interest in nor knowledge of scientific, scholarly or even mechanical affairs; seriousness of interest or purpose seems to be lack ing, and at least a generation would be required to build it up, even if the willing spirit were present. Nor are all of the certificated members of our profession prepared to do such work, their whole training being toward a different end. Even. The text books of to-day show the same effort to separate life and education by omitting more and more the references to the practical applications of scientific law that gave such interest to books like Ganot's Physics, of blessed memory.
