THE MAKING OF AN ENGINEER

Abstract

SEVERAL groups of people operating under a variety of auspices have produced reports during recent months dealing with the education and training of young people prior to, and during, their employment in industry. In the main, these reports have dealt with the principles which must be adhered to in the intended reorganization of the pre-war system obtaining in Great Britain, but the precise manner in which the various recommendations will be put to practical effect remains in general to be formulated. This recent publication of Messrs. Reyrolle differs in that it gives a practical example ; an example which illustrates the manner in which an industrial concern, which recognizes and accepts responsibility for ensuring the continued education and effective practical training of its recruits, can contribute to the national well-being—while at the same time, of course, ensuring its individual prosperity.
