Abstract
WE are glad to see that many public men are directing attention to the relationship between scientific investigation and industrial progress, and urging reforms which were advocated in these columns, and by men of science generally, long before the present position was reached. There is no question now that resolute efforts must be made if Great Britain is to hold her own during the twentieth century. Already we have lost supremacy in several branches of industry, and we shall probably be surpassed in others by America and Germany unless our commercial men learn to realise that science is the source of energy of all sustained industrial movements.
