laboratories and practical science teaching are spread 

 over the land, and not merely in the secondary, but 

 also in the primary schools. So that unless our great 

 public schools push boldly forward, as they are to 

 some extent doing, they will be overtaken. 



Much may be done to stimulate interest out of 

 school by public lectures and demonstrations. I have 

 given several lectures to the boys at Eton, which I 

 believe have given as much pleasure to them as they 

 have given me (see Appendix I).
