Post-Prandial Philosophy

Capitolo 12

income is worse that precarious--it is frankly impossible. "He/she takes everybody
son-in-laws to make a world." A community completely composed of scientific men
he/she would not succeed in feeding himself/herself/themselves, dresses him, hospitality is given, and is held
provisioned with light and amusing literature. In a word, education in
science produces experts;  and experts, although more profit and
precious people in correct place they, is anymore anybody the brace of a
community civilized that motor-drivers or ballet-ballet dancer.

Thing the world to great really the necessities, and he/she wants one day gets, it is not this,
but due recognition of the true value of science in education. We don't do
to every lack to be done in anatomists of first category it likes Owen, still less
in practical surgeons and of first category as Lord Henry Thompson. But that that
we make every lack it is a general and competent knowledge (among the other things)
of anatomy to great, and especially of human anatomy;  of the physiology to
great, and especially of the human physiology. We don't make every lack to be
chemical analytical:  but what we make every lack is to know how very around
oxygen and coal as it will train us to understand the commonest
phenomenons of the combustion, of chemical combination, of animal or vegetable
life. We don't make every lack to be zoologists, and botanical of the type that
puts later their names "critical kind:  " but that al which we make every lack
knows it is as very on plants and animals as it will train us to walk
through the life intelligently, and to understand the meaning of the things
that contour us. We want, in a word, a general knowledge with the
_results_ rather than with the _methods_ of science.

"In short", it says the expert, with his/her family sneer "you want a
flouring."

Well, yes, the dear Mr. Smelfungus, if it gives him to like for putting him/it
then--only that;  a flouring, a flouring all-rotunda. But he/she remembers that
in this matter the man of science is always influenced by deduced ideas
