Description:Excerpt from Agricultural Education: Historically Considered It is a long step from the scholastic education of the Middle Ages to the practical education attempted in the scientific and technical schools of to-day; but it is natural that the rebellion against the former should end in the establishment of the latter. Bacon himself probably never had a conception of such a result, yet it has been the logical outcome of his philosophy. Since that philosophy produced an entire series of new sciences, his disciples could not consistently do otherwise than introduce these sciences in their plan of education, even at the expense of the studies most honored by Bacon himself. To the oft-repeated assertion, that he tried to make thought practical, may be added the other assertion, that this century threatens to exclude from education everything but the practical. In carrying out the plans for practical education, scientific and technical schools have been founded, apparently with very modest intentions, and have then been pushed into positions which sometimes must seem as surprising to their founders as to their competitors. At first thought, it would seem that a training for a special occupation would never enter the plane of a liberal education in a college with a long-established course.
