There will come a day when

physiologists, poets, and
philosophers will all speak the
same language and understand
one another.—Claude Bernard.

AN INDICATION.
ome laymen are very fond of
deprecating the work of specialists,
holding that specialisation tends to
narrowness, to inability to see more than
one side of a question.
It is, of course, true that the specialist
tends to “go off at a tangent” on his
particular subject, and even to treat with
contempt or opposition the views of
other specialists who differ from him.
But all work that is worth doing is
attended by its own peculiar dangers. It
is here that the work of the non-
specialist comes in. It is for him to
compare the opposing views of the
specialists, to reveal one in the light
thrown by the other, to help into
existence the new truth waiting to be
born of the meeting of opposites.
Specialisation spells division of labour,
and apart from division of labour certain
great work can never be done. To do
away with such division, supposing an
impossibility to be possible, would

simply mean primitive savage. But we
have no call to attempt the abolition of
even the minutest division of labour.
What is necessary is to understand and
guard against its dangers.
Specialisation may lead to madness, as
electricity may lead to death. But no
specialist need go far astray who, once
in a while, will make an honest attempt
to come to an understanding with the
man whose views are diametrically
opposed to his own. For thus he will
retain elasticity of brain, and gain
renewed energy for, and perhaps fresh
light on, his own problems.—[Eds.]

CAMPING OUT.
IV. The Five-Foot Sausage.
he question of blankets and
mattresses may be taken as settled.
We can now sleep quite comfortably,
take our fresh air sleeping and waking,
and find shelter when it rains. But that
same fresh air brings appetite and we
must see how that appetite is to be
appeased.
Take a frying-pan. It should be of
aluminium for lightness; though a good
stout iron one will help you make good
girdle-cakes, if you get it hot and drop

the flour paste on it. You must find some
other way of making girdle-cakes, and if
you take an iron frying pan with you,
don't say that I told you to.
Though it is obviously necessary that a
frying-pan should have a handle, I was
bound to tell Gertrude that I do not find
it convenient to take handled saucepans
when I go camping. I take for all boiling
purposes, including the making of tea,
what is called a camp-kettle. Most
ironmongers of any standing seem to
keep it, and those who have it not in
stock can show you an illustration of it
in their wholesale list. It is just like the
pot in which painters carry their paint,
except that it has an ordinary saucepan
lid. You should have a “nest” of these—
that is, three in diminishing sizes going
one inside the other. The big lid then fits
on the outer one and the two other lids
have to be carried separately.
