- W4240131168 abstract "SOME time ago Dr. George Sarton, of the Carnegie Institution, Washington, and editor of Isis, directed the attention of scientific men to the enormous amount of ignorance and superstition which still surrounds them (Isis, vol. iii. pp. 449–50). This mental condition is not confined to the poor and uneducated, but is to be found among many people who have had the advantage of a collegiate education. Yet how common is that ignorance has recently been shown by the attacks made in the United States upon the Darwinian theory by Mr. W. J. Bryan, a campaign which has found an echo in Great Britain. On May 25 the writer of a letter headed “War on Darwinism” in the Daily Mail gravely assured us that the origin of man has not been discovered by science, and that the author of the “Origin of Species” was wrong because “Ruskin laughed the thing to scorn in ‘The Eagle's Nest,’” and Disraeli did likewise in ‘Tancred.’ “That remarkable epistle emanated from a certain Modern High School, Lee, London.” Damnant quod non intelli-gunt! The logic equals the knowledge: Darwin wrong because Froude (a manufacturer of English history), Ruskin (a word-painter), and Disraeli (an imaginative writer) laughed and did other things ! One would have thought that the days when Darwinism was “reviled by bigots and ridiculed by all the world” were for ever past, were we not forcibly reminded to the contrary by such fanatical attacks from time to time. However man's origin may have been brought about, no trained mind questions the fact of that origin, which is no mere phantasm but rests upon irrefragable evidence. Whether it would be a good thing to teach the doctrines of evolution in our “modern high schools” may be a questionable matter; but it would indeed be a good thing if teachers in “modern high schools” were to teach their pupils to emulate the noble example set them by such scientific men as Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley, who devoted their lives to the search for scientific truth." @default.
