Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Scientific Method: Its Function in Research and in Education
Drawn from literature, class activities, and research work. I am indebted to my colleagues at Stanford Uni versity for their kindness in answering the questionnaire discussed in the second lecture. I have drawn freely from class reports of students for bibliographical data about men of science, and have especially profited by the reports of Mr. C. G. Shambaugh upon Charles Darwin and Francis Bacon. I am indebted to Dr. Lucia B. Mirrielees for suggesting the quotation which is introductory to this volume. I have been helped financially in the experimental work reported by two grants from the Stanford University Council of Research in the Social Sciences. Two of the lectures as here published are slightly extended from their form as given orally, but even so the reader is asked to be charitable in judging of the unity of this series. If the at tempt to incorporate philosophical, historical, and very re cent experimental material into a single structure has thrown any new light upon the immediate problems of re search, education, and eugenics, no apology for its brevity and incompleteness need be made.
