Abstract
THE Report of the Committee of the Privy Council for Scientific and Industrial Research for the year 1919–201 is of great interest to all those who are watching with sympathetic anxiety the attempt, embodied in the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, to secure greater and better organised State aid for scientific research without subjecting the research worker to such Governmental control as would stifle his spirit and energies. The present report is the Committee's fifth annual report, and the Report of the Advisory Council which is subjoined, before proceeding to record the past year's work, takes the occasion to give a brief survey of its labours during the past five years.
