Abstract
A CONFERENCE at the City Boys' School, Leicester, convened and presided over by the headmaster, Mr. R. W. Crammer, was held on March 12 to discuss the problem of the difficulty experienced by science graduates in writing reports and the ways in which the grammar schools could help in overcoming it. Dr. U. R. Evans, reader in the science of metallic corrosion in the University of Cambridge, who had raised the matter in the university Senate House, addressed the conference in a private capacity. There were seventy people present, including the heads of grammar schools in the City and County of Leicester, their English and science masters and mistresses and representatives from Leicester University College, the Domestic Science College and the Women's Training College. The conference was welcomed not only because of the importance of its subject but also because it brought together representatives of the grammar schools and of institutions of higher education for the discussion of a common concern.
