  • Description: THE acceleration of scientific invention during the last generation has been such that it has now considerably outdistanced the ability of man to assimilate knowledge and to make it an essential part of his social and ethical relationships. This was the theme of the address given before the Ninth Imperial Social Hygiene Congress by Prof. J. Ritchie, of the University of Edinburgh, who suggested that the failure is in some measure due to the exclusiveness of science, and that its remedy partly lies in the creation of a world-wide appreciation of the social and moral implications of scientific knowledge. That this appreciation can in part be brought about by biological knowledge was the keynote of the educational sessions of the Congress, which was attended by delegates from all parts of the Empire.
