ABSTRACT
The character of the scientific world, as a place for the ordinary man to live in, will depend enormously on how far this process of mutual blackguarding has gone before the new ideas become firmly accepted. It is clear that a scientific society, which had at heart the good of the community as a whole, would enormously increase the opportunities for education. Post-war Britain is, indeed, making huge efforts to build more schools and to send more children to them and to the Universities. Science is often accused of being responsible for war and that from two different angles. The less bitter accusation is that science, by providing the world with more devastating and efficient machinery, has increased the horror and beastliness of the wars which men have always engaged in. To a certain extent this is true; in so far as science increases man's power, it has enabled him to deliver heavier blows.
