ABSTRACT LORD AVEBURY referred to the neglect of scientific education in secondary schools, in an address delivered at Nottingham on Tuesday, before the Association of Chambers of Commerce


of the United Kingdom. He pointed out that the public schools are legally bound, by the regulations made by Lord Salisbury's Royal Commission, to give in all examinations one-eighth of


the marks for mathematics, one-eighth for modern languages, and one-eighth for science. How science fares may be judged by the fact that one public school with 900 boys has four science


masters, and another with 500 boys only has three. In fact, the complaint made long ago by Ascham and Milton, and reiterated by Royal Commission after Royal Commission, still holds good to a


great extent. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution
