NEW LONDON INSTITUTE.

THE EDUCATION OF PUBLIC

OPINION.

Mr. Herbert Fisher, the President of the Board of Education, opened the temporary buildings of the Institute of Historical Research at the University of London, "which have been, built ́and equipped at a cost of £20,000 by an anonymous donor. The now institute is behind the British Museum, and ite students will be trained in the methods. of historical research and in the use of the English historical archives.

of

Mr. Fisher said that the occasion marked a notable stage in the develop ment of historical studies. We were pro- digiously rich in historical material, and with trifling exceptions this material was stored in London. The University of London would now be recognised as the centre of historical training educa tion, richer in opportunities than Paris The British Institute of Berlin. International Affairs would be housed in the new premises. This institute was the product of the Peace Conference, and by its power of obtaining contributions from experienced statesmen and civil Bervants," and from fiavellers and econo miste in the Empire, might render, a striking service towards the develop ment of enlightened and inforced opin- ion on the march of públic affaira throughout the world. Much was to be gained by a close association of modern and mediacval studies in the building.
