They showed the average school attendance in Cornwall to be lower than in any county of England or Wales. But" and Mr. Hansombody raised his forefinger "the same statistician in the very same paper proves the average of criminal prosecutions in Cornwall to be the lowest in England and Wales."

Welfare departments in stores and factories indicate the growing importance in modern industry of work which has to do with social factors in employment.

When the Government assumed the duties of health officer, forester, statistician, and numerous other highly specialized functions, the presence of the scientific expert became imperative; and vast undertakings, like the building of the Panama Canal and the enormous irrigation projects of the West, could not be entrusted to the spoilsman and his minions.
