THE humanistic view and the scientific view of the 

 universe supplement each other ; science corrects and 

 guides sense, humanism enlarges and colors and 



vitalizes science. 



***** 



Science reveals things as they are in and of themselves ; 

 literature, as they stand related to our mental and emotional 

 condition and edification. One is not true and the other 

 false; both are true in their own sphere, true as fact, and 

 true as emotion and idea Science explains the rainbow, but 

 literature sees it as a symbol and a promise. So with the 

 sunset or the sunrise. Science knows all about the diamond, 

 but knows not why it is so prized by us. It explains the 

 pearl, but not the pearl necjclace. — John Burroughs in his 

 recent book, "Under the Apple-trees."
