Qlkiifialfflif Q aktiir What a loss to humanity, mused Bertram dejectedly . . . Do you think I'd have a better chance in science? he interjected hopefully. 'Tve always had a fancy for wizardryf' Peace, stout Bertram. You wrong scientists-no longer are they sorcerers like Merlin, they employ the scientific method instead of relying solely on chance in their attempts to make lasting contributions to mankind. They look toward the future, when this courtls young scientists, now in their apprentice stage, will have completed their period of initial learning and discovery and will join those who, right now, are working for a better world. Science loses none of the intrigue of necromancy, but manages to remove the element of trial and error. Egad, Harold. Speaking of error, haven't you ever watched the science scholars in their laboratories? Prithee tell, do they ever perform experiments correctly? Don't form hasty judgments, Bertram. No one said that science was perfect. The workings of science are governed by man and man is not perfect. The worth of experimentation lies not only in achieving the expected results, but in analyzing causes of error, or fallacies in one's hypotheses, if experiments fail to work correctly. Science is another subject which teaches the serf to think. Verily, I doubt that this is your calling in life either.

Ilve always enjoyed working with my talonsf' Odsbodikins, Bertram, you r1eedn't make the shops and commercial subjects sound like courses in basket-weaving. Thought is involved in manual work, not to mention physical dexterity. And what could be more practical than stenography, bookkeeping, typing, and the other commercial subjects, which enable those leaving the Kingdom to obtain immediate, profitable employment? Such training was unknown in our day when long apprenticeships under guild masters were necessary before one could be- come economically self-sustaining. Today, boys learning drafting, or working with wood, metals, jewelry or electricity, can apply their knowledge when seeking jobs or doing 'do-it-yourself' work, or use it as a vocation later in life, when, through the miracles of medicine, they near the age of us ancient gargoyles.
