AMONG SCIENTISTS {Dr. Osborn Says Barnes Takes Unwarranted Step New York, Jan. 2 (P—Philosophi- | cal discussions of sin and religion | have no legitimate place in the forum of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in the opinion of Dr. Henry Fairfield! Osborn, its president. His statement was aimed at a paper read before a section meeting of members interested in the medi- cal sciences and the history of scl- ence by Prof. Harry E. Barnes of Smith college, on “Science versus Religion as a Guide to Life. “This is a sclentific meeting.” Dr. Osborn declared, “and science has to do with what can be understood by weighing, measuring and anal sis of the universe, and it covers the whole realm of what can be estimated and understood. It stops [ there.” The Barnes paper declared that science and relegated sin into “the limbo of ancient superstitions” and called for a new order based on the discoveries of acience in place of the old theological dogma, and rec- ognizing the *right to be happy,” he specifically mentioned “funda- | mentalist Christian” doctrine and “Christian solemnity,” and his state- ments aroused immediate and fre- quently heated response from the | clergy o various denominations. Paper “Sensational” Dr. Osborn, presiding at the gen- eral sessionn last night, described the paper as “sensational” and “non-scientific” and said it might give the impression that the asso. ciation did not believe in Provi- The function of the association, !he declared, was to carry the pub- lic into new realms of knowledge gained in the pursuit of the different | branches of sclence, and to bring scientists working in cach field into |the realms opened up by workers in other fields. Referring to the wretched drizzle through which the large audience had come to hear Dr. Harlow Shap- ley, the famous young Harvard as- tronomer, announce the discovery | | that intergalectic space is trans- | | parent and not clouded with ele trons, meteors, nebulosity and free planets, Dr. Osborn observed: “I am reminded of an anecdote about a negro preacher who on a \the fact that some 2 START SESSION TODAY Face Busy Year With Compulsory Automobile Insurance as the Leading 1ssue, 2 Boston, Jan. 2 (UP)—Facing & busy session, with compulsory auto- mobile insurance as the outstand- ing issue, the Massachusetts legis- lature convened today. ‘Tomorrow, Frank G.

That compulsory automobile in- surance will occupy a foremost place among matters for consideration by the new legislature was indicated by bills already have been filed, seeking repeal of the insurance law or drastic re- visions in its provisions. Aside from those designed to “kill"” the law in its entirety, there are bills seeking a uniform insur- ance rate throughout the state; abo- | lition of the present rate territorie: creation of a state insurance fun and establishment of a corporation, {in charge of a board of trustees, to handle automobile insurance.

Unwarranted Step “Dr. Barnes,” he declared, “took an unwarranted step in introducing a metaphysical, philosophical and religious subject. It was an unwar- :l&nhd intrusion. He took advan- tage of this great platform of the American Asso vancement of Science to give ex- | pression to his own opinien on a subject that was totally unrelated to the subjects under discussion. i “As president I desire to have the public understand that Dr. Barnes’ statements do not reflect in any way the program of our mecting.
