The
history of civilization shows how man always has to choose between making the
right and wrong use of the discoveries science. This has never been more true
than in our own age. In a brief period amazing discoveries have been made and
applied to practical purpose.
It
would be ungrateful not to recognized how immense are the boons which science
has given to mankind. It has brought within the reach of multitudes benefits
and advantages which only a short time ago were the privilege of the few. It
has shown how malnutrition, hunger and disease can be overcome. It has not only
lengthened life but it has depended its quality. Fields of the work of science
the ordinary and fuller life than was ever possible to his grandparents.
Which
of the following can be overcome with the help of science?
The purpose of education is to make the student
an expert in his subject. This must be clearly understood, and mere mudding
through lessons and lectures and books and passing examinations are relegated
to secondary importance as means to the end-which is excellence in the field
chosen.
But there are so many fields, and no man can
become an expert in all the fields it is necessary to decide which fields are
important ones that a man should know well.
It is clear that one’s own work is the most
important. This has been realized and modern civilization has accordingly
provided vocational education. It is now possible to acquire high professional
skill in the various fields, medicine, engineering production, commerce and so
on-but with good and bad mixed together, and no standard for guidance.
What, according to the writer, is the end?

the area. Great Fountain Geyser erupts every 11 hours. Excelsior Geyser
produces 4,000 gallons of boiling water each minute! Boiling water is 100
degrees Celsius, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit – that’s very hot! People also like
to see the Grand Prismatic Spring. It is the largest hot spring in the park. It
has many beautiful colors. The beautiful colors are caused by bacteria in the water. These are forms of life that
