Research Department Oliver Wendell Holmes once said that the human mind is like a checking account. As long as you keep putting money in the bank, your checkbook is the most wonderful book in the world. Dip your pen in the ink, make a few flourishes, and you may have all that your heart desires. Rut once you stop making deposits the magic evaporates. Education is the guarantee against intellectual bankruptcy. Ideas rule the world or lead it to chaos. The good life makes tremendous demands upon the world supply of trained minds, soOceanside continues her oldest business, Education. Our scientific world of today requires many people who understand the composition of the earth, the air, and the water. They must know first, how to analyze and second, how to synthesize the abundant materials that make up our physical nd atmospheric environment. Whether we are to become professional mathematicians and scientists or not, we all live in an age in which a certain amount of this information is necessary. To safe-guard our lives we have to be familiar with the physical laws that govern electricity, certain protective devices to check common-occurrence mishaps, general nutrient information which will make our food habits healthy ones, and finally, we must have that certain degree of scientific knowledge which will enable us to better perform our daily work, for science enters into all phases of living. In the past, men of science did not always have to possess the knowledge that they so earnestly desired. However, we of today find the door to scientific knowledge left wide open, and here in Ocean-side, as well, we need only the desire in order to enter. Our Oceanside Plant provides us with laboratories, equipment, and tool subjects needed to acquire scientific knowledge essential to life today. Waiting for the result in a physic experiment.
