26 General Biology 



ever to do with life is really a branch of this science. For example, 

 Biology is not a branch of medicine or dentistry, but medicine and 

 dentistry are branches of biology where men enter into particular details 

 of some division of it. 



Biology, therefore, to the medical student, the dental student, the 

 law student, the student of sociology or the student of education, pre- 

 sents a sort of bird's-eye view of the fundamental processes upon which 

 his whole detailed study must be built, so that he can the better and 

 more understanding^ read the valuable and meaningful literature of 

 the day and discuss intelligently the very basis on which his every con- 

 clusion must rest its truth. In other words, Biology makes it possible 

 for the student the better to be able to prevent men who call themselves 

 experts, but who are not, from deceptively making people believe they 

 are.
