Abstract
DROF. HICKSON and the other distinguished zoologists who have drafted the memorandum referred to below are deeply and properly concerned at the general neglect of zoology as a school subject. They maintain that this science should serve as a means of introducing youth to many of the greatest problems of life, and they therefore express astonishment, which will be shared by many people, at the findings of the investigators of the Secondary School Examinaton Council on the subject of school natural history. This body, in a recently issued report, committed itself to the remarks that “very few of the candidates (for certain important school examinations) offer this subject (Natural History), and it seems very doubtful whether it is worth while to maintain it as qualifying for a Pass with Credit in Science.”
