Abstract
ONE of the most important of the many educational conferences which it has become customary to hold during the Christmas vacation is that arranged under the auspices of the Technical Education Board of the London County Council. The custom of inviting teachers of science from all parts of the country to attend meetings in London, to discuss the best methods of imparting instruction in the branches of science taught in schools and colleges, was inaugurated four years ago, and each successive year has seen a substantial increase in the attendance. While in 1899 fewer than a hundred teachers, inspectors and others responded to the invitation of the Technical Education Board, there were present at the meetings held on Thursday and Friday last at the South-Western Polytechnic, Chelsea, upwards of four hundred persons, among whom were representatives of every stage of science teaching.
