Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - May 9, 1961, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news vol. 83, no. 109 it. Pleasant Iowa Tiesi ave eni no my 9, 1901 these Days by George e. Sukosky it is difficult to know recently general David Samoff discussed problem of communicating scientific knowledge. Some comments were made on this subject in these writings and have received an interesting comment from a Young scientist part of which i give you a a. I very interested in your article on David Sarnoff s suggestion for an idea Clearing House i thought of this idea several years ago but dismissed it As being too expensive. Nevertheless the entire scientific Community needs such a system Imp end i Ley. If competent highly trained brainpower if tile nation s most valuable. And rarest resource it is surely a waste to have it spend its time thumbing through indexes in libraries with Ever increasing flood of literature a scientist can spend More time doing paper research than tile lab research he a paid for. If. While looking through Microscope he sees a Green spot in a cell. Lie ought to be Able to dial Green spot into a computer and be supplied within a Ini mite with a biography covering everything that has Ever been written on die subject of Green spots. Then he will have time to do work. Becky Rommel elected Moderator by youth Section Smith has rout height 17 jobs l inner j brings to oui Rad Young people fester jail Church tended meetings in Wahington and evening from of p v. J two first i a Alit at a group sundae a i be i noon la pc eix is Cottrell scholarship recipient of the first c. A. Cottrell scholarship to Iowa Wesleyan College is Lames Harshbarger of Salem. He is shown receiving the memorial scholarship created by friends of tile former school superintendent from mrs. Cottrell. T. Ii. Hartley left a member of the Board of education who served on the Board for Many years while or. Cottrell superintendent paid tribute at the school Assembly to the Able and loved school administrator. A the problem end Here at the a new fact Given circulation however does t present tile Only or tin very can lie is through the professional journals. At one time when Little work being done in sciences the journals were adequate for the task. Today however with tens of thousands of laboratories cranking out endless Rivers of data the Trade papers j can t possibly do their Job. Some of better ones Are publishing material submitted As far Back As three years with tile backlog growing each month even More a Palling important contributions urn being published in Little known a periodicals which no one reads simply because the line is too Long at the Lugger journals. These important works often pass completely without notice Only to be rediscovered ranch later by duplicated Effort which could have been avoided by such an institution As Sarnoff s Clearing House. A tile worst problem though is the politics of getting published Many scientists Rush into print to save their University positions. Others Wear publications like a general wears ribbons and crowd tile journals at the expense of better work by new Comers. On the other hand Many Young men will Light to get published just to gel a better initial Job even if their theses Arentt of sufficient scope to interest an entire profession. These and other abuses Pervert Many periodicals from their proper purposes thus making them even less efficient Means of transmitting scientific advancements favor another Kennedy proposal Washington up it a House subcommittee today approved another of Presa it Kennedy a major legislative proposals a a $3.3 billion Public school Aid Bill.
