Abstract
THE address by Sir William Pope, at Gold-smiths’ Hall on Nov. 13, the sixth of the annual Norman Lockyer lectures instituted by the British Science Guild,* must be accounted one of the most weighty of recent scientific pronouncements, as well as most opportune, in its bearing upon two subjects of special interest at the moment—the extension of the Dyestuffs Act and the school-leaving age. It is to be hoped that, without delay, the printed lecture may, in some way, be brought under the notice of every headmaster and of every member of Parliament; as the girls to-day are even more victimised than are the boys at school and college by the imposition of a burden of inconsequent, undigested learning, headmistresses might also be induced to understand the implications of the address.
