they desire this, and half the people would have died through the
difficulty of supporting this medical staff, and soon there would be
no one to heal.

Scientific co-operation with the people, of which the defenders of
science talk, must be something quite different. And this co-
operation which should exist has not yet begun. It will begin when
the man of science, technologist or physician, will not consider it
legal to take from people--I will not say a hundred thousand, but
even a modest ten thousand, or five hundred rubles for assisting
them; but when he will live among the toiling people, under the same
conditions, and exactly as they do, then he will be able to apply
his knowledge to the questions of mechanics, technics, hygiene, and
the healing of the laboring people. But now science, supporting
itself at the expense of the working-people, has entirely forgotten
the conditions of life among these people, ignores (as it puts it)
these conditions, and takes very grave offence because its fancied
knowledge finds no adherents among the people.

The domain of medicine, like the domain of technical science, still
lies untouched. All questions as to how the time of labor is best
divided, what is the best method of nourishment, with what, in what
shape, and when it is best to clothe one's self, to shoe one's self,
to counteract dampness and cold, how best to wash one's self, to
feed the children, to swaddle them, and so on, in just those
conditions in which the working-people find themselves,--all these
questions have not yet been propounded.

The same is the case with the activity of the teachers of science,--
pedagogical teachers. Exactly in the same manner science has so
