About the Book

Excerpt from Weights and Measures: Fifth Annual Conference of Representatives From Various States Held at the Bureau of Standards, Washington, D. C., February 25 and 26, 1910

Secretary nagel. Dr. Stratton and gentlemen, I regard it as a very great privilege to be asked to meet you this morning. As you no doubt suspect, up to a year ago my information about this bureau was probably that of most American citizens. In other words, I had practically no impression as to the purpose and aim of the work done out here; in fact, I am not sure that I knew of the existence of the Bureau of Standards. I am now supposed to supervise the work. I rely upon the privilege Of most secretaries to know a little about everything and not much about anything; and I am doubly glad to attest my entire confidence in Dr. Stratton, believing and feeling assured that everything goes well as long as he is here. I have per haps spoken about this bureau more frequently than he suspects, because I have been out here and admired his work. Generally, it has given me great pleasure to say that one standard for which this bureau stands I have been able to appreciate, and perhaps only one; and that is the standard of the men whom Dr. Stratton has been able to get about him. The force of men out here has impressed me, and of that perhaps I am able to judge as well as others. As I see it, the standard of American manhood is at the bottom of the Whole fight.

We hear a great deal about conservation. I am in entire sym pathy with it, but I believe it ought to be extended beyond coal and timber and like things, in order to embrace the entire interests of the country, and above all the human force upon which we will ultimately have to rely.

Of course, when it comes to scientific work with which the bureau is charged, I need not say that I suffer from the limitations which Obtain in the case of most American citizens. I can admire the results; I may be interested in the methods; I love to see the tools; I can appreciate how neatly and beautifully they are kept, and I can ask questions just as intelligently as my boy of 10 years would ask.
