Abstract
I AM very glad to learn from my friend, Prof. Meldola, that the school of which I previously wrote is so well known. The frequent reference to Bigods as an experiment, and as the first attempt to give a systematic training in science in a purely rural district, led me to imagine that people were not generally aware of Sexey's Trade School. It seemed therefore that some mention of its success might act as an encouragement to others, but obviously the fact that this work has been successfully carried on for some years in Somersetshire in no way detracts from the value of what is now being done in Essex. I may observe too that, while the latter has had to depend mainly upon the generosity of Lady Warwick and the enthusiasm of Prof. Meldola, the former enjoyed certain advantages in the way of endowment.
