Abstract
ON p. 432 of your issue for February 1 it is stated in an unsigned article that “in the early fifties of the nineteenth century a little experimental science crept in almost shamefacedly, introduced by the peripatetic teacher with his box of tricks”. Then after mentioning Queenwood in 1847 it goes on: “But it was not until twenty years later that this example was followed in other schools. Then Clifton took the lead in 1867, and was followed immediately by the Manchester Grammar School.”
