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.

Paul’s wife knows Paul loves to read cookbooks. She decides to
get him one for his birthday. Paul tells her he will try to make a new recipe
for three days in a row. On Monday, Paul makes blueberry pancakes for
breakfast. He gets the blueberries from the farmers’ market. On Tuesday, Paul
makes beef soup for dinner. He puts in cubes of beef, carrots, and onions. The
recipe calls for cream, but Paul does not cream. He uses water instead. On Wednesday,
Paul makes a tomato salad with cucumbers and onions. He picks the cucumbers and
tomatoes from his garden. He likes this dish best. It was also the easiest for
him to make.
Why doesn’t Paul use cream?
