At different stages in the educational process different changes are required. In schools, the chief need is for a general change in the attitude towards science, which should be from the beginning an integral part and not a mere addition, often an optional addition, to the curriculum. Science should be taught not merely as a subject, but should come into all subjects. Its importance in history and in modern life should be pointed out and illustrated. The old contrast, often amounting to hostility, between scientific and humane subjects needs to be broken down and replaced by a scientific humanism. At the same time, the teaching of science requires to be humanized. The dry and factual presentation requires to transformed, not by an appeal to mystical theory, but by emphasizing the living and dramatic character of scientific advance itself. Here the teaching of the history of science, not isolated as at present, but in close relation to general history teaching, would serve to correct the existing atmosphere of scientific dogmatism. It would show, at the same time, how secure are the conquests of science in the control they given over natural processes and how insecure and provisional, however necessary, are the rational interpretations, the theories and hypotheses put forward at each stage. Past history by itself is not enough; the latest developments of science should not be excluded because they have not yet passed the test of time. It is necessary to emphasize the fact that science not only has changed but is continually changing, that it is an activity and not merely a body of facts. Throughout the social implications of science, the powers that it puts into men’s hands, the uses they could make of them and those which they in fact do should be brought out and made real by a reference to immediate experience of ordinary life.
