Scientific Education:

At the present day, the struggle for existence has become so keen that it is no longer possible for the old theories about education to be followed. It was formerly held that education should be such as would widen the mind, enlarge one's ideas and on the whole, ennoble a man. Literary education, which is concerned with the study of literature, philosophy and the like was cultivated to equip a man these qualities. But broadmindness & nobility of character are not sufficient by themselves to solve the bread problems.

Education in modern times, therefore, should be of such a naure that it is both able to broaden the mind and to enable one to earn one's living. The circumstances that exist today are such that mere literary education is not sufficient by itself. It requires to be supplemented by some other sort of education whichis capable of bringing an income. Here comes the use and the necessity of scientific education.

Though, this education is primarily, concerned with the study of the sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology, and the like , it is in fact an education which gives a thorough grounding in the practical concerns of life. The study of science can never be perfect by a mere study of theories. The practical application of the theories must be learnt simultaneously.
