ABSTRACT
New and vigorous ideals must constantly infuse individuals and communities and these will infiltrate into the educational system and provide the basis of the training of the next generation. The lack of independence of thought lies at the root of the easy propagandising of nations to their harm. Sincerity in the leaders, though necessary, is not enough if they are incapable of perceiving the fallacies in their arguments and the inconsistencies in their policies. It is legitimate to ask at this stage why, if science possesses in fact the extraordinary attributes suggested, it has not long ago become the most important feature of education. A training in science will teach the student to depend upon his own judgment in the assurance that, if the facts at his disposal are complete, his arguments are indestructible and his conclusions incontrovertible.
