Author Description

Excerpt from The Odontographic Journal, Vol. 10: April, July, October, 1889, and January, 1890 From that time until sixty years ago, there was not a single public laboratory for scientific study in the world that is to say, a labora tory open to all competent workers on easy terms, and provided with books, instruments and skilled assistants. To-day such laboratories girdle the earth from Tomsk to Tokio from Siberia westward to Japan. They are to be counted by the hundred, and States vie in building them and making each new one more complete, and even architecturally more splendid than its rivals. One of the first things Germany did after the wars which welded her into a great empire, was to build laboratories - palaces of science they have been called - in Berlin and Strasburg.
