THE POINT OF VIEW 15 



If life is response to the order of nature, the higher 

 and more complete the response, the higher and richer 

 must be the life. Since response presupposes knowledge, 

 nature study must take its place in public education as 

 one of the chief means by which the race may push 

 forward toward the more perfect response to the order 

 of nature, which shall be its more perfect life. " I am 

 come that they might have life, and that they might have 

 it more abundantly."
