- W4251358585 abstract "ON Wednesday last, H.M. the King opened the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, thus inaugurating the largest and most comprehensive display of the resources and activities of the Empire which has ever been organised. The many striking features of the Exhibition have already been made familiar to most by the daily press in articles and illustrations; in addition to the gigantic Palaces of Industry and Engineering, there are the Government Pavilion housing the Home Country exhibits, the Pavilions erected by the various Colonies and Dominions Overseas, and lastly, though perhaps in some ways more important than any of the others in the significance of the business carried on within it, the Conference Building with its five halls. The deliberations which will go on within the walls of the Conference Building: almost daily throughout the course of this summer can scarcely fail to be of prime importance for the promotion of progress and research. Of more immediate interest to readers of NATURE are the scientific exhibits in the Palace of Industry and the Government Pavilion. As we have stated in earlier issues, these are divided roughly into two groups, the physical and biological sciences being cared for by a committee of the Royal Society, while the pure chemistry exhibits have been arranged for by the Association of British Chemical Manufacturers. In both cases, efforts have been made to avoid the “museum “type of exhibit, which, excellent though it may be and instructive to those who will ponder over the descriptions, is scarcely suited to the needs of perhaps the majority of those who will visit the Exhibition. Something capable of arresting attention is obviously necessary, and to this end demonstrations of apparatus and experiments have been arranged. The application of research to industry is, of course, shown by practically every exhibit at Wembley, but we may perhaps refer to that arranged by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries to demonstrate the importance of research in various branches of agriculture. Eight main groups of exhibits are shown which tell a continuous story. They deal with animal breeding and nutrition, veterinary science, soils, plant breeding, horticulture, plant pathology, agricultural machinery and agricultural economics. In each case the exhibits have been set up by the Research Institute specialising in the particular branch, and qualified guide lecturers explain the exhibits at stated intervals daily. Descriptions of all the scientific exhibits have been prepared and are available in the Exhibition. In future issues, we hope to deal with specific aspects presented by the Exhibition." @default.
