What is Science?($9.00Value)

Description

“WIHAT is Science?” is a question that may be answered in as many ways as “What is Truth?”, and much depends on the questioner. In this case the original questioner was apparently an audience drawn from the Workers' Educational Association. Fifty or more years ago the worker was all agog for science; now, it appears, he either shoulders it aside as too academic for practical use, or rejects it as the “stone” of vocational education proffered instead of the “bread” of culture. The worker, in this limited sense, is not alone in misapprehending what is meant by “science,” for the public at large, as recent years have given abundant proof, often blames it for sins of both commission and omission, due really to human nature. It is well then that we should be provided in this handy form with a clearly-written and commonsense account of what scientific men mean by “science.”
