Abstract
SIR RICHARD LIVINGSTONE'S presidential address to Section L (Educational Science) of the British Association at the recent Blackpool meeting is one which should receive attention from all who are interested in educational purposes and scope. His views concerning some of our fundamental ideas on education must either be accepted in which case far-reaching changes of thought and practice are necessary or they must be proved to be mistaken. For our part, we believe he has put his fingers upon weaknesses which must be remedied both from the material point of view of value for educational expenditure, and from the philosophical point of view which would have education fit the masses for the tasks and possible struggles which lie ahead.
