Abstract
WE have already noted that one of the first problems in the development of an adequate strategy of research is the re-examination of our whole educational system with respect to the provision of adequately trained and broadly educated workers for scientific research, and the balancing of the immense needs for technical and scientific training by competent education in the liberal arts and humane studies. This involves not merely an adequate supply of competent investigators, but also of those capable of directing research effectively, as well as of the laboratory technicians necessary for the efficient use of the fully trained research worker. Again, since both the support of research in the first instance, and the utilization of its results afterwards, involve some understanding by the community generally of the value and significance of scientific research, we are concerned also with the general education of the community and not merely with education at the university level.
