To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
127 SOCIALISM AND THE GREAT STATE together, are going to arrive at, first of all, an under- standing of what the "progress of science" really means and what it does not mean, as distinguished from mere pedagogic instruction, and, secondly, at such a desire for that progress as will lead them to sanction the annual expenditure, out of public re- sources, on the making of new knowledge, of as large a Slim as we now spend annually on the army and navy. Supposing that very large sums were available... in the new Great State for devotion to the business of making new knowledge, what would be probably the best way or the most promising way in which such money could be spent ? What sort of an organi- sation would be reqtiired ? I will venture to indulge in a speculative consideration of this remote but at the same time interesting problem. It seems to me that what we who believe in the vital importance of the making of new knowledge must aim at is, in the first place, the selection by the State of really great and specially gifted investigators or makers of new knowledge, in such ntmiber as lavish provision of stipend and means of research can secure, as ' ' servants of the State.
