About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Introductory.

Add to the strenuousness of his task the deep sense of responsibility which the conscientious teacher always feels, and he who would talk on evolution in a popular way is confronted with an arduous undertaking. THE DESIRE TO HELP.?Your speaker doesn't claim to know very much. He has gleaned a few grains of thought in the broad field of science, but he hardly has ability enough to string them together and present them in a syst..
