Abstract
THOUGH tlie youngest offspring of the British Association, the Section of Educational Science has developed so rapidly that its growth in strength and influence is being watched with interest not unmixed with anxiety by several of the older sections. Most of the meetings devoted to the discussion of educational topics were largely attended this year, and all of them have been reported in detail, thus showing that science in education and education in science appeal to a wide public. The Section provides a platform on which it is possible, not only to state the place science should occupy in the curricula of school and college, but also to describe the character of the instruction which should be given, and to construct an organic educational science out of the disjointed body of opinion. It is easy to see that, rightly directed, the work of the Section may have an important influence in determining lines of progress in education; and the success so far achieved justifies faith in the promise of the future.
