Abstract
THE Union of South Africa, although possessing so small a population 72,000 whites), employs the scientific worker and the engineer to an exceptional extent; and progra in the Union is corrospondingly remarkable. Forty years ago the country was sparsely populated and scarcely possessed a factory. In 1925 the gross value of the output of its industries was estimated at £79,789,000, and that of its mines at a further £50,000,000.
