HOW OTHERS SAW HIM 85 



As a constructive ^^Tite^, he is perhaps at his best 

 in * • Ethics and Evolution." And his o\mi remark that 

 if he were to be remembered at all it would rather be 

 as a man who did his best to help the people than 

 under any other title shows how eager he was that 

 scientific method should penetrate into the events 

 of everyday life. In nearly all his papers which 

 deal -wnth social subjects, while there is much de- 

 structive criticism there is also much of definite 

 suggested construction. In no part of his work 

 is this better seen than in his MTitings and speeches 

 on Education and in his system of laboratory teach- 

 ing, which is now adopted in every university. These 

 five aspects of Huxley, with which Mr. Clodd deals 

 separately, will indicate the many-sided nature and 

 talents of the man. 



No finer tribute has ever been paid to any man 

 than that of Professor Ray Lankester. " There has 

 been no man or Avoman whom I liave met on my 

 journey through life whom I have loved and regarded 

 as I have him, and I feel that the world has shrunlt 

 and become a poor thing now that his splendid 

 spirit and delightful presence are gone from it. Ever 

 since I was a little boy he has been my ideal and 

 hero."
