Abstract
THE two outstanding contributions in vol. 16 of Nauka Polska, an annual publication devoted to studies in science and letters in Poland, are “The New Trends in Scientific Thought” by Prof. C. Bialobrzewski and “The Promotion of Education in the Provinces of Podolia, Volhynia and the Ukraine before the Partition of Poland” by Prof. A. Knot. Prof. Bia¬obrzewski is concerned mainly with the philosophical outlook and with recent developments in psychology, but he also remarks upon the progress now taking place in various branches of physics. He asserts that one epoch in the history of science has just closed and that another, more definitely creative, is beginning. Prof. Knot's account of the early educational facilities in south-east Poland is a well-documented article. The author has traced the development of educational institutions in these remote districts from the fourteenth century to the close of the eighteenth, when the kingdom of Poland was completely partitioned between Russia, Prussia and Austria. Mention is also made in this number of Nauka Polska of the celebrations held at Warsaw last year, commemorating the fifty years' existence of the Mianowski Institute. Among the notes from abroad there is an account of the organisation of science in Great Britain with special reference to the aims and objects of the British Association and of the British Science Guild.
