School Science and Knowledge-Making Power

Abstract

THE lecture of Prof. J. G. Macgregor, as reported in NATURE, of December 14, is of very great interest to science teachers, more especially to those in secondary schools. It will afford great comfort to the still very large number of controllers of the curricula in such schools who do not really sympathise with, nor believe in, the good results obtained from scientific teaching. As one who has to deal with all ages of pupils in a large school, may I be allowed to make a few comments on Prof. Macgregor's lecture as it strikes a science teacher?
