Sciences Represent Total Knowledge Educational courses stress the theme of learning those things most worth knowing, to the end of doing those things that make life most worth-living. The word science itself means knowledge; the sciences represent the total of human knowledge in their respective fields. In return for such knowledge, science should impart direction and theory to technology. Because modern man stands on the threshold of a changing world, society has an obligation to provide both the means of scientific instruction and the means for channeling this knowledge to useful ends. The fruits of the science supply a reservoir which is potentially beneficial to man, capable of multiplying man's energy and understanding.
