Abstract
IN a Report presented to the Bath meeting the Committee gave an account of the replies they had received to a letter addressed to the head masters of schools in which elementary chemistry is taught. In this letter the Committee had asked for a report on the chemical teaching, and also for a statement as to the methods which had been found to render the teaching most effective as mental training. In commenting on these replies the Committee pointed out that the evidence which had been collected was conclusive in showing that much of the teaching of elementary chemistry is far from satisfactory, and needs to be considerably modified if it is to effect that valuable mental discipline which science teaching can afford.
