Abstract
WE printed last week a valuable address by Prof. j. A. Fleming on “Science in the War and after, the War.” Though the address was an introductory lecture at University College, London, and was open to the public without fee or ticket, only the briefest mention of it appeared in the periodical Press, and the points of national importance dealt with in it were unrecorded, except in our columns, in which it was our privilege to publish the address almost in full. We understand, of course, that the demands made upon the space available in the daily papers are many and insistent, yet we should have supposed that during the progress of a war in which victory will depend as much upon science and machinery as upon men, a summary of some of the points made by a leading authority upon applied science would be of greater public interest and importance than much of the unsubstantial chatter with which we are supplied daily.
