Abstract
THE Commission has just issued its Second Report, dealing with the scientific side of the instruction given in Training Colleges and National Schools, and in the Science Classes at present conducted by the Science and Art Department. The report is so long that it is impossible to give it in extenso. It can, however, be easily obtained, and it should be read by all interested in one of the most important questions for England just now. Both with reference to elementary education and the Science Classes the present condition of things is fully stated, and this condition is criticised where, in the opinion of the Commissioners, criticism is necessary. The provisions of the new code we may refer to as a case in point.
