Abstract
ONE of the principal articles in the Revue generate des Sciences for June 30 is that by Prof. Paul Janet, of the Sorbonne, dkector of the Higher School of Electricity, concerning the rdle of the universities in higher technical instruction, especially in relation to the Bill before the French Senate, at the instance of M. le Goy, to sanction the establishment of faculties of applied science in the universities. The proposed measure is exciting considerable interest, not only amongst the learned bodies in France, but also amongst those engaged in scientific industries. The question has assumed a deeper interest in view of the problems raised by the war and of the position and means of development at its close of the national industries, especially those closely dependent upon chemical and electrical science.
