Abstract

The application of science to industry during the last few years has produced revolutionary changes in the industrial world. New industries have been created and the old ones have had their produc- tion increased and improved. This development has produced a wonderful change in public sentiment towards science. In Britain a generation ago what was termed the practical man regarded the scientist with a degree of suspicion, and this is the case now in India. To-day in England all the great industries look to the Universities for their experts, and most of the large manufacturing firms have their own research departments. It is more and more being recognised that scientific methods pay, and that the sums spent on scientific research are a trifle compared with the results obtained.
