Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science and Industry There is a widespread misapprehension among laymen in regard to the nature of science. They have, as a general rule, an impression that there are two types of science. On the one hand they believe that pure science was invented for the diversion of university professors and theorists in general. It has, they assume, no point of contact with, or influence on, everyday life, either immediate or remote. On the other hand they conceive of applied science as a disconnected something which dispenses with the subtleties of, pure science and takes a short cut to results. The director of a big commercial laboratory across the line told me that the short-cut men had cost the Government of the United States millions of dollars. There is, as a matter of fact, no other science than pure science and applied science is simply that science applied.
