Abstract
THE recent discussion on magnetism (see NATURE, June 7, p. 874) afforded an example of a symposium on a subject academic and in some respects aloof from the problems of everyday life. The discussion on June 4 and 5, organised jointly by the Physical and the Optical Societies, is at the opposite pole. Although the photo-electric effect both raises and resolves many recondite problems in modern physics, its applications may touch modern life at points so far distant as photo-therapy and greyhound racing, and it was in great measure on applications that the interest of the discussion centred.
