PSYCHOLOGY 51 



day utilize in his practise. To slight the " leisure-class problems of 

 true science " in the supposed interest of activities which " earn their 

 bread in terms of usefulness for the questions of life " is really to mis- 

 take that interest, and to wound technology in the house of its friends. 

 Lastly, science and technology are alike in their free recourse to the 

 established laws and approved methods of logic. Science is, on the 

 whole, more rigorous than technology in this logical regard ; not through 

 any superior virtue in the man of science, but simply because the tech- 

 nologist, in the nature of the case, is a logical opportunist, working 

 for results and towards a practical end, and therefore content to work 

 in a logical twilight so long as results are forthcoming and progress can 

 be reported. That the technologist should, on occasion, betray impa- 

 tience with the stricter canons of scientific procedure is only natural. 

 That the student of science should stir in his own defence -must also be 

 expected : how great, after all, are the benefits that science has con- 

 ferred upon humanity ! What we may hope for is that men of intelli- 

 gence and sound training, after they have been distributed by tempera- 

 ment or circumstance to scientific and technological activities, may still 

 so far keep in touch that each understands the other's limitations and 

 sympathizes with the other's ideals.
