Abstract
IT is notoriously difficult to express one's whole meaning in a condensed article. In so far as the article on the position of science at Oxford referred to the teaching of science at public schools, I see from Mr. C. I. Gardiner's letter that I have failed to express my meaning, and I must hasten to remove the impression that I intended to cast any reproach on the science masters of our public schools. I find it, indeed, difficult to understand how any one could have mistaken my meaning as much as Mr. Gardiner has done, seeing that I wrote that in every public school there are one or more science masters of tried capacity; a statement, I submit, which is entirely at variance with Mr. Gardiner's interpretation of my remarks.
