proposed means that it will no longer be necessary for the 
teacher of science to leave the university in order that he may 
become a specialist in the teaching of science. 
As the inexperienced high school teacher will inevitably 
teach in the high school the thing last studied in college, let 
that last thing studied be a unifying course rather than a 
specialized one. The result will be a rounding out of all the 
preparatory work done by the teacher. As a high school pupil 
he will have begun with an introductory science and will then 
broaden out into the special sciences of the later high school 
and college years. Last of all, without abandoning the special 
skill he has gained, he will yet come to feel, before he goes out 
to present to the next generation*the truths of science, their 
essential unity. This will make of the graduate not only a 
better teacher, but a better man or woman.
