ABSTRACT
Some indication has been given in the immediately preceding chapters of the extent to which education helps pupils to enlarge and arrange their experiences and of the extent to which the schools have dealt with the technical arts and the fine arts. The special sciences go further than do any of the subjects of instruction discussed up to this point in extending and arranging the knowledge gained through observation and experimentation. The sciences of physics, chemistry, and biology have opened up a universe to the minds of individuals which in range and in recognized orderly arrangement far exceeds anything that could be acquired without the aid of highly developed methods of investigation.
