Science in schools under fire from veterinary chief
Dr. C A Manthei, head of the National Animal Disease Laboratory at Ames, told the Eastern Iowa Veterinary Association that the science emphasis in schools risks eroding humanity and overloading students with misinforming material. He argued science fairs often rely too much on adult help and that applied research is as vital as basic work. He urged balance with economics literacy and noted a $128000 investment to train a good research man at Ames.
