"The difficulty comes in t'ying to teach science to people who are not scientific." He illustrated his point by showing how it was impossible in teaching a high school course in science, to give students the complete method Ly which certain conclusions have been reached. In attempting to teach them something about science, it is necessary to make some assumptions upon which to base further study.
