Abstract
IN the teaching of biology there are two sharply defined aspects : there is the study of the structure of organisms correlated with their functioning, leading to knowledge of human physiology and the relation of man to the animal and plant kingdom. This may be looked on as a factual aspect while, on the other hand, there is the study of evolution and all that it implies and involves. This may be regarded as a cultural aspect.
