Science Teaching in Schools

Abstract

WILL you allow me to take the opportunity afforded by the publication, in NATURE, vol. 1. p. 631, of Prof. Armstrong's address at the Berners Street Board School, to offer my testimony to the value of teaching, based on the principles which he advocates so eloquently? The practical difficulty of teaching what Prof. Armstrong has called scientific method in an ordinary school, is often the ground of the objection made to it, so that it may interest your readers to hear of any experiments in this direction.
