HOLIDAY, STATES BISHOP | | i 1 glish Churchman Cre- ates Amusement With Plea, Science Holiday LONDON. Sept. 17,—Feelings' from amagement to unen‘l have been aroused in ' British acientific circles by the suggestion from the Rt. Rev. Bd- ward Arthur Burroughs, Rlshopy of Ripon, for a ten-year “scien- | tific holiday.” : The Bishop in a sermon Sun-! day sald that the world would| get on very happily: if every laboratory were closed for a de- cade to allow the world to as- similate the evolutionary knowl- edge with which it was glutted. The energy thus saved, he added, could be used in recovering *‘the| lost art of getting on together.” Greeted with Ridicule Sir Daniel Hall, Scientific Ad- | viser to the Board of Agriculture, | is quoted as terming the pro- position equivalent to asking the business man who finds difficulty; in keeping up his end commer- clally to stay in bed for a certain length of time in. order to save worry and expense. The Duchess of Atholl, Presi- | dent of the Education Session of| the British Association for Ad- vancement of Scitnce, remarked: “We may be breathless and feel tired in the race to secure knowl- edge, but we cannot settle down | and do nothing for ten years. That is quite impossible.” Lodge Comment Sir Oliver Lodge ul‘: that it the Bishop’s criticism referred only to the application of lclence, he might agree with him. examples, he mentioned television and aviation, any stopp: in the advance of knowledge, however, would be a very serious thing. Sir Oliver added that *‘although we are mow living In a great perfod of scientific advancement, rather than saintliness and phil- osophy, the era of philosophy |will ‘dawn again, and I think we may take heart.” First Automobile Gets To Circle Over New Road CIRCLE, Alaska, Sept. 17.
