Will not a satisfactory solution of our problem be accomplished by the 

 introduction into our high schools of the new* courses in general science 

 now being advocated? This would leave the specialization along different 

 branches of science in the hands of the colleges and would enable us to 

 treat all classes of students alike without fear of duplicating credit, or of 

 omitting anything essential. Probably our high school science should be 

 conducted with the purpose of enabling the student to interpret his daily 

 environment. In college, however, while considering fully the interest of 

 the student whose object in chemistry is cultural, we must be guided 

 mainly by the professional student and by those who, for various reasons, 

 wish to specialize in chemistry.
