Abstract
IN a rapidly changing world the whole system of education must come under review and the teaching of science cannot escape. The ideal surely is a cultural background as full as possible and a training which produces a graduate able to think both critically and constructively, with a wide knowledge of his subject. A student who has devoted his energies mainly to the memorizing of facts, largely for the purpose of passing examinations, and is in truth little more than an encyclopædia bound in skin with all the inaccuracies of such treatises, is likely to disappoint both himself and his employers when he goes out into the world.
