Abstract
MANY senio members of the British Association, especially these interested in the proceedings and reports of Section L (Educational Science), will learn with regret that one of the first secretaries of the Section. Mr. W. M. Heller, died in Dublin on May 13, at eighty-one years of age. The Section was founded in 1901, with Sir John Gorst, who at the time was vice-president of Committee of Council of Education, as its flrst president, and Profs. H. E. Armstrong, John Perry and L. C. Miall and Dr. J. H. Gladstone as vice-presidents. In the previous year Mr. Heller had been appointed senior inspector and head organiser of science instruction by the Com-missioners of National Education, Dublin. He held this post until 1923, when he became senior inspector to the Secondary and Technical Branch of the Department of Education of the Free State of Ireland—a post from which he retired in 1933.
