Excerpt from British Association Meeting in South Africa, 1905: Discussion at Johannesburg on the Teaching of Elementary Mechanics; Which Took Place on August 29th, 1905, in Section a Professor Forsyth, President of the Section, in the Chair
Until the morning of the day on which the discussion took place I thought that there was to be a Joint Meeting of Sections A and G. It is a pity that there was any misunderstanding, because the views on the teaching of mechanics of the engineers attending Section G would have been of very great value. I secured a verbatim report, and sent a copy of his remarks to each speaker for correction. It was understood that if a speaker did not make corrections (alterations being in square brackets) they would be left to myself and the printers. After my return to England I sent a great number of copies of my address to men whose opinions would have weight, but I received only eleven replies. I promised at Johannesburg to publish a reply dwelling especially on my reason for recommending the use of engineers" units in schools and colleges. On this subject I venture to direct the attention of readers to the letters which appeared in Nature, Vol. lv. (1896-7), pages 124, 176, 223, 247, 270, 293, 317, 365, 366, 389, 415, 439, and to the review of a book, page 49. The Editor of The School World and Mr. Ashford have given permission for the publication of Mr. Ashford"s Paper.
