SCIENCE DEPARTMENT -Nature in Her Visible Forms Speaks a Various Language. MR. CHARLES W. RUTSCHKY, JR. OF THE many sided nature of the human being--there is one phase to which Science has a special appeal. The pragmatic side of living occupies first place. A study of the natural phenomenon reveals the practical value of effects, whose fountain head is experience. The immensity of the universe elicits wonder- ment and questioning on the part of its inhabitants. From a small arc of that great circle, those questions seek answers. The relation of man to his place in Nature seeks refining. What is the best way of life? Where are the answers? Science be- lieves, it can at least point the way.
