Abstract
IT seems desirable from time to time to review the progress of scientific work and to estimate its value in terms of human knowledge and achievement. In certain directions progress has been rapid. Our knowledge of the physical world is increasing, and genetics and biochemistry are adding much to our understanding of living matter. Similarly, the adoption of the scientific method by anthropologists and archaeologists has clearly shown what can be done in these directions; and the same methods applied to the more difficult field of experimental psychology indicate where progress is likely to be made.
