Exhibitions open to public competition would enable children of every grade to rise from the lowest to the highest school.7.

Fees alone cannot adequately fund colleges of science and schools of scientific education: the State, the localities, endowments or other benefactors could contribute.8.

Centres of industry are the ideal locations for such colleges and schools due to the possibilities of combining science with practice, and also because some pupils would not be able to live far away from home.9.

The agricultural districts in particular and the provinces of England in general do not enjoy sufficient State grants for scientific education.10.

Teachers in elementary day schools should be paid on the basis of the results for teaching science to older scholars.
