It is, I think, of happy augury that it should have been fourid possible to arrange a joint meeting of members of the local branches of the Classical and Mathematical Associations, as well as members of the Yorkshire Natural Science Association, to hear a few words about Greek science. No doubt the classical or humane studies can stand by themselves and so (in a way) can the study of science based only on good English : but I venture to think that they are both much stronger when they stand side by side and support one another. The idea that thero is any necessary antagonism or opposition of interests between them is surely unfoimded, and there is room for both in our system of education. It is a mistake to suppose that in our school education there is not time for the one or the other ; the guestion is really one of using the time that thero is to the best atlvantage. No doubt schoolboys in the past have wasted much time in the perfunctory learning of Latin and Greek.
