SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDY xxxi 



generally practical and efficient? What evidence does 

 Huxley give of not wholly trusting "the people?" How 

 did he wish to safeguard the welfare of communities 

 against the dangers to which he thought them liable from 

 a too democratic government? Do you approve his 

 caution? 



SCIENCE AND CULTURE. To what extent is this 

 address an argument? How does its argumentative 

 character affect the introduction and method of develop- 

 ment? Just what is the issue? What is Huxley's atti- 

 tude toward his "opponents" throughout this address? 

 Is the kind of classical education that Huxley opposes 

 offered in American colleges? To what extent is the 

 kind of education he favours offered in America? 



This address and that on Science and Art should be 

 carefully compared with Matthew Arnold's address on 

 Literature and Science to discover exactly how much 

 Arnold and Huxley differ in their educational ideas. 



A LIBERAL EDUCATION. Is the metaphor with which 

 this extract begins effective? Is it accurate? Comment 

 on the style of the extract. 



SCIENCE AND ART. To what extent does education in 

 the United States conform to Huxley's ideal? Can you 

 plan a course of study for yourself in the college you 

 are now attending which would conform both to Huxley's 

 ideal and to the college requirements? If you cannot, 

 where do you think the error lies? See also questions on 

 Science and Culture above.
