Scientific and Industrial Research

TDROMOTION and co-ordination of scientific research by the State on any widespread scale is still novelty enough to invest the recently published Report of the Committee of the Privy Council for Scientific and Industrial Research for 1926-27, accompanied by the Report of the Advisory Council for the same period, with a special degree of interest. To the reports are attached a summary of work conducted by the various research organisations functioning under the auspices of the Department, and appendices containing tabulated information of a statistical and bibliographical nature, together with references to the development of organised research in other parts of the Empire.
