INTRODUCTION 19 



Every faction in the world's social order either praises 

 or blames science for contributing the coin with which the 

 physical purchases of life are made, and the scientist is 

 obliged to admit that both are right. 



But, let us not forget that the scientist can only furnish 

 the coin. That it will take a long time for the world to 

 learn to buy judiciously, is not his fault. Neither is it his 

 fault that many counterfeit coins are in circulation and 

 that altogether too many people really believe the worse 

 product the better. His work is to increase the quantity 

 and the quality of the coin used, so as to make more and 

 better purchases possible. Training mankind how to buy 

 and where to buy is the work of the sociologist, but even 

 his work is dependent upon a thorough understanding of 

 values, and values fall into two leading groups. The one 

 group is physical, and an understanding of physical 

 values is attained through the universities and the great 

 scientific teachers; the other lies in the pathway of the 

 spirit, and spiritual and moral values rest with religion. 

 Physical science can but present a motive. It lies with 

 religion to furnish the obligation.
