Abstract

ON Tuesday evening a question was asked in the House of Commons, by Mr. Howorth, about the new regulations for the entrance examination at Woolwich. Mr. Howorth inquired whether these regulations were final and permanent, or only temporary. Mr. Stanhope, we regret to say, replied that the regulations are intended to be of permanent application. If that be so, it is the more necessary that a vigorous protest against the scheme should be made by those who have any true appreciation of the place which properly belongs to the study of science in education.
