Book Description
Excerpt from Natural Science in Education, Being the Report of the Committee on the Position of Natural Science in the Educational System of Great Britain, 1918 The Committee, which was appointed by the Prime Minister in August 1916, sat on 45 days and in addition sub-committees appointed for the consideration of particular sections of the work met on 51 days. We have received the evidence of 52 witnesses, including representatives of Government Departments, of professional bodies, and of a number of important Associations connected with education, as well as individual teachers and persons concerned with the applications of science to industry. A list of the witnesses together with a list of the Memoranda that were presented to us are given in Appendices I. and II., pp. 248-253. We are also indebted to the Conjoint Board of Scientific Societies for suggesting the names of representative men of Science, who could speak on behalf of Agriculture, Chemistry, Geology, Engineering and Metallurgy; from these we received a number of valuable observations on the educational aspects of their special subjects. A large amount of the information on which our Report is based was obtained in answer to questionnaires which we addressed to schools, universities, and industrial firms. We received, for instance, valuable and detailed replies from nearly all of the 76 schools on the Head Masters' Conference which do not work under the Regulations of the Board of Education. These replies enabled us to form an opinion as to the position of Science in a large number of important schools about which information was not otherwise procurable.

Book Description
Excerpt from Extracts From the Report of the Committee Appointed by the Prime Minister to Enquire Into the Position of Natural Science in the Educational System of Great Britain, 1918 The Report of the Committee appointed by the Prime Minister to enquire into the position of Natural Science in the Educational System of Great Britain has more than a local interest. It contains much that is of value to those who have at heart the cause of Science teaching in India and other countries. The report is lengthy and some who desire to make use of it may have difficulty in obtaining copies. I therefore thought it would be well to reproduce the portions which are of general application in a form readily accessible to professors, schoolmasters, and inspecting officers in India. In doing this, I am fully aware of the dangers incident to such a course. An extract, disconnected from its context, may sometimes convey ideas not intended by the authors. A summary, especially when brevity is attempted, is often an imperfect or even misleading presentation. But, in view of the advantages of making known the recommendations of this Committee, I consider that these dangers should be faced. Dr. J. L. Simonsen, Professor in the Presidency College, Madras, has selected the extracts. The connecting passages and summaries have been made by him and by myself in collaboration. My thanks are due to him for the pains and the expedition with which he has done this work in moments snatched from his labours upon the Munitions Board.

Book Description
This committee was appointed in August, 1916, and consisted of 17 members who are eminent in the educational, scientific, and commercial life of the nation. The committee was tasked "to inquire into the position occupied by natural science in the educational system of Great Britain, especially in secondary schools and universities, and to advise what measures are needed to promote its study, regard being had to the requirements of a liberal education, to the advancement of pure science, and to the interests of the trades, industries, and professions which particularly depend upon allied sciences." A large part of the information on which this report was based was obtained in answer to questionnaires addressed to schools, universities, and industrial firms. Following a list of the committee members and an introduction, this bulletin presents the following topics: (1) Secondary, elementary, and technical education (the position of science in secondary schools; general education in a secondary school; inspection of schools; the first school examination; content of the science course, 12-16; content of the science course, 16-18; the second school examination; teachers of science in secondary schools; laboratory accommodation, equipment, and libraries; science in elementary schools; and technical education); (2) Professional education (medicine; pharmacy; engineering; science in relation to agriculture; the chemical industries; and Army and Navy); (3) University education (introduction; admission to universities; compulsory Greek at Oxford and Cambridge; admission of over-age candidates; entrance scholarships at the universities; university fees; pass degrees in science at Oxford and Cambridge; degree courses; the place of original research in university education; postgraduate research scholarships; relation between the departments of pure and applied science; provision for staff, buildings, and equipment; stipends of university teachers; relation of universities to secondary schools; the Scottish universities; and adult education); (4) Supply of trained scientific workers for industrial and other purposes; and (5) Summary of principal conclusions. Appended to this document are: (1) Questionnaire Addressed to Public Schools; (2) Questionnaire to Chemical Manufacturers; (3) Questionnaire to Engineering Firms; (4) Questionnaire Addressed to Representatives of Agriculture; and (5) Questionnaire Addressed to Universities and University Colleges in Great Britain. An index is also included. (Contains 7 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.].
