Many very valuable reports have been prepared by these 

 Committees and placed in the hands of Ministers in charge of the 

 Government Departments particularly concerned with the 

 matters and questions dealt with in them . 



Recommendations contained in the Reports of the Commit- 

 tees of the Guild have also been widely acted upon outside 

 Government Departments , and there is evidence that the value of 

 the work which the Guild has done, and is doing, is becoming 

 more widely appreciated as time proceeds. However, in order 

 that the Guild shall carry, in connection with the work it has 

 taken up , full weight in responsible quarters 3 and that its activities 

 may be rendered more effective , an increase in its membership is 

 essential . 



In 1918 and 1919 the Guild organised highly successful 

 Exhibitions of British Scientific Products, which were of much 

 assistance in promoting the interests of British science and 

 industry at a critical period.
