q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

The review reports a contemporary position, attributed only to unnamed others, that the disciplinary attitude caused "the relative falling off in science-registrations during the past ten years". No registration data or statistics are printed.

"There are those who maintain that it is this disciplinary attitude that has caused the relative falling off in science-registrations during the past ten years, and that the only hope of secondary science is to drop the vestments of pure science and assume the economic garb."
