Abstract
THE Royal Commission on National Museums and Galleries in its Final Report, of which, as a whole, we had something to say in our issue of Feb 1 (p. 153), deals with individual institutions. We are particularly interested in those which are wholly or partly of a scientific character, and we notice that the Commissioners in dealing with the Science Museum direct pointed attention to the Deutsches Museum von Meisterwerken der Natur-wissenschaft und Technik, to give it its full title, “not only because it is in itself a remarkable example of how a modern Museum can be made a great instrument of technical as well as of popular instruction, but because it is a symbol of national efficiency. It reveals the intense concentration in the Germany of to-day on the scientific means of industrial progress, a concentration which we believe has its sharp significance for this country.” We are pleased, by the way, to see that the Commissioners commend to the nation the scientific attitude of mind, for it is one that we try year in and year out in these columns to inculcate.
