Quote by Harrison Salisbury

Here, class attendance is expected and students are required to take notes, which they are tested on. What is missing, it seems to me, is the use of knowledge, the practical training.

Here, class attendance is expected and students are required

Summary

This quote suggests that while traditional education places emphasis on attendance, note-taking, and testing, it often neglects the application of knowledge and practical training. The author argues that simply memorizing information and taking exams does not fully equip students with the skills they need in real-world scenarios. They propose that education should incorporate more hands-on experiences and opportunities for students to apply their knowledge in practical ways, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical application.

We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity.
