Extract

At the opening of another session it seems to me not inappropriate to refer to the question of the relation of science to industries and to education. Not much that is new can be said on this theme. The neglect of science by the Government and the people and the persistent indifference to scientific training and methods have been exposed by prominent scientists for many years. Repeated appeals and warnings have had little or no effect. But this world war has, at last, aroused the Government and the practical Briton to realise that success in war and prosperity in peace under modern conditions depend upon the application of scientific methods, and the development of research in relation to the industries.
