Science In Public Affairs Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Candid: Quarterly Review of Public Affairs, Political, Scientific, Social and Literary; February 1914 HE aim of this Review is to deal with Public Affairs faithfully and frankly, and to treat them with candour, having sole regard to the Public Welfare. The attempt, often promised, rarely made, and yet more rarely continued, to review Public Affairs impartially and without Party bias will here be renewed. The effort will be to search out the quality, character, and fitness for the Public Welfare of things done or proposed, whether in the political, the scientific, the social or the literary domain, and to present them on their merits without partisan prejudice. To do this is not easy. But the effort to do it will be honestly made by candid men writing for candid readers. In Politics it will be remembered that the men of to - day are as well sons of the past as fathers of the future and that from the past we have inherited a settled system of gover nance, which, having endured and survived the stresses of time, is not to be put away without a certain assurance of something better. To Science, whose widening domain touches with in creasing success and rapidity every part of life, will be assigned the place that has now become due to the great deeds already done and the greater soon to be expected. Social and Literary Subjects, so far as they belong to Public Affairs, will also have their due recognition.
