Abstract
MR. CROWTHER is one of the few English men of science who have ventured into Russia in recent years. He was impressed by the extent of the researches projected and prosecuted in the various institutes which he visited. It appears that the study of the different branches of science have been placed in contact with the social institutions to which they are naturally related. Thus, all bodies concerned with applied botany are controlled by the State Department of Agriculture. The thousand workers at botany work to one planned scheme. Unnecessary overlapping has been reduced by centralisation. Institutions conducting researches of industrial value receive their endowments from the Supreme Economic Council and they work in contact with the industry upon which the research directly bears.
