Abstract

DR. LYON PLAYFAIR, C.B., has given notice that, on the House of Commons going into committee on the Education Estimates, he will call attention to the deficient ministerial responsibility under which the Votes for Education, Science, and Art are administered, and will move for a Select Committee to consider how such ministerial responsibility may be better secured. We believe that Dr. Lyon Playfair's views are strictly in accordance with those of the best scientific men of the country, namely, that the only satisfactory way of dealing with the subject will be by the appointment of a Minister for Education, Science, and Art.
