Excerpt from Science and Philosophy: The Classification of Science, Recent Progress in Science, the Dualistic Philosophy, Harmony of Science and Religion, Etc

These may be regarded as extreme cases, and it may be said that the point of transition, or the boundary line be tween the non-scientific and the scientific may not be clearly determined. Be it so; the claims Of science require exact. Ness Of knowledge to the extent to which the exactness may be Obtained by Observation or reasoning, and to which the facts themselves fix the standard. And though perfection is the standard and aim, the knowledge Of a sufficient num ber of related facts constituting a systematic knowledge, or knowledge sufficiently generalized, systematized, and verified for the comprehension of the relations and laws pertaining to such facts, maybe received as evidence of scientific attainment, and capacity for intelligent progress. A man'may possess a practical knowledge of carpentry, by which he may perform work, when a frame is laid out, without the scientific knowledge Of the principles, rules or methods by which such work is planned; much less with out the higher mathematical and mechanical knowledge Of architecture.
