Science and Patriotism.

No nation has done greater service to science than the German. And the world of science, which is cosmopolitan, not national, gladly and freely recognizes it. But does anyone who known anything of the conditions of scientific work, suppose that work would not have been done by Germans unless there had been a German empire? To state the notion is to refute it. A man of , science may be a patriot, but his patriotism has nothing to do with his science. He goes to learn where he ,can learn best, and to work where he can work best; and the result of his work Is a treasure, not for his country alone, but for mankind. —G. Lowes Dickinson in the Atlantic Monthly.
