Sctentists were called upon to “fur- nish the truth instead of the sensa- tional matter which Is being given the public In lieu of the facts” The association should “assume the lead- ership in the crusade against the foes of knowledge and progress,” he de- clared. “The educational function, the vancement ‘of sclenee by diffusion of knowledge, has not been under- taken in an' active and systematic way and.the need iz pressing for popular and general scientific educ; tion,” he sald. “Not only are many people in the land of education ignorant of elementary science and being served -with sensation instead of fact, but to-multitudes the theories and truths of sclence are repugnant.” Reviews Work of Bedy.

Radio Needs One Lanmguage. The development of the radio may force the adoption of an interna- tlonal language, S. W. Stratton, chaire man of the committee on an interna- tional language, told the association. Broadeasting in Europe, where a strong trausmitting set is able to reach persons who speak several languages, has brought a demand |, from both commercial and amateur operators that some language which all might understand be adopted, As it is now, Stratton sald, many of the persons able to receive 'the programs of broadcasting stations are unable to understand them, Many commer- | cial concerns also are 'urging the ndoption of a universal means of communication, he added. | Through ofganization of a United States section “of the International Auxiliary Language Association. ‘it is hoped to get the subjoct of the new language, which would not dis place the present-day English, but serve only for Intermational com munication, betore: the people, Strat. ton said.
