Abstract
THE announcement by the Ministry of Education of a scheme for the award of Ordinary and Higher National Certificates in Applied Physics brings to fruition one of the recommendations made in the Institute of Physics report on Education and Training issued in 1943. Students may obtain further particulars of the courses from their local technical colleges or local director of education. With a rapid growth of physics in industry and in the different Government services, it has been found that the existing courses in branches of engineering, in chemistry and so on do not singly provide the combination of knowledge required by juniors in some branches of work which depend on the advances of science, such as, for example, the physical testing of materials and the maintenance and use of instruments for the measurement and control of different processes.
