Abstract
THE annual meeting of the Association of Public School Science Masters was held at the Imperial College of Science and Technology on January 13-14. The president, Prof. H. B. Baker, F.R.S., in his address, extracts from which are given separately in this issue, regretted that so few science masters were engaged in research, and suggested that the interest of boys would be stimulated by the thought that such work was being carried out in the laboratory attached to their own school. Mr. C. E. Ashford (Dartmouth), in seconding a vote of thanks, disagreed with this view, and, speaking as a headmaster, maintained that it was of greater importance for a schoolmaster to spend his spare time in the playing fields getting to know his boys than it was for him to be undertaking research in the laboratory.
