Abstract
MR. HALDANE and the other members of the IVI. departmental committee who for the last two years have been considering the important questions referred to them have earned the nation's gratitude. If the scheme they propose be carried out (and there is reason to believe that it will be, and at once) a great step forward will have been made towards providing that complete higher education the absence of which has made us the laughing stock of those countries the Ministers of which are more intelligent than our own. As the reporters are careful to show in their general review, many of our scientific industries are an easy prey in international competition as it is carried on to-day.
