Abstract
IN his presidential address to the British Association at Ipswich, reported in NATURE on September 12, Sir Douglas Galton referred to the efforts made by the German Government and Municipalities to advance scientific knowledge and promote research. In his statement that the “Royal Technical High School” at Charlottenburg “casts into shade the facilities for education in the various Polytechnics which we are now establishing in London,” he scarcely appreciates the radical distinction between the German and London institutions, which accidentally bear the same name, but which are wholly different in purpose and organisation. But his remarks on the Reichsanstalt of Berlin are so suggestive and so full of interest, that I was eager to have the opportunity of visiting the Institute, and was glad within the last week or so to be able, during a brief stay in Berlin, to make myself better acquainted with its work.
