He will be followed by Professor Black, who will speak on "The Teaching of Science in European Secondary Schools". Professor Crawford will next address the teachers on "Some Recent Advances Made in Physics During the Last Ten Years." At noon an illustrated lecture in Cruft laboratory covering certain other developments in physics will be given by Mr. Hunt. This will be followed by a luncheon at Dunster House at 2 o'clock.
At 3 o'clock Professor Black will give a demonstration and description of apparatus seen in foreign schools. At the conclusion of this, an opportunity will be furnished for the members of the association to inspect some of the interesting features of the new research Laboratory, such as the 100,000 volt storage battery, Professor Lyman's ultra-violet vacuum spectograph, Professor Duane's X-ray spectograph, and Professor Bridgman's high pressure apparatus.
