34 SECTIONAL ADDRESSES 



some higher aspects — things like least squares or significance tests — 

 which are still to be treated in separate university courses. Even these 

 I should hope would come to be recognised as subjects of central interest 

 and not, as they are at present, relegated to a remote corner of specialised 

 study. 



If these reforms are carried out I shall hope that generations will grow 

 up which have a facility that few of us at present possess in thinking 

 about the world in the way which the quantum theory has shown to be 

 the true one. The inaccuracies and uncertainties of the world will be 

 recognised as one of its essential featui'es. Inaccuracy in the world will 

 not be associated with inaccuracy of thought, and the result will be not 

 only a more sensible view about the things of ordinary life, but ultimately, 

 as I hope, a fuller and better understanding of the basis of natural 

 philosophy.
