“It is of great importance that the general public be given an opportunity to experience — consciously and intelligently — the efforts and results of scientific research. It is not sufficient that each result be taken up, elaborated, and applied by a few specialists in the field. Restricting a body of knowledge to a small group deadens the philosophical spirit of a people and leads to spiritual poverty.”
