Abstract
AN encouraging feature in the latest report of the Central Advisory Council for Education in H.M. Forces (October 1944-March 1945) is the considerable increase in the number of organized classes as opposed to single lectures conducted in Service units (see Nature, 155, 611; 1945). The latter have decreased by some 19 per cent, while the former show the significant rise of 37 per cent. Outside units, the number of intensive schools and conferences also shows a remarkable increase, and it is particularly gratifying that a growing proportion of these schools and conferences are being conducted on a residential basis. It is distressing, therefore, to find that while there is every indication that the demand for intensive courses will increase, there is little likelihood of the demand being met in full unless residential accommodation is made much more freely available. Four university institutions have already lent hostels for whole-time use for regional committee courses, but more help is urgently needed from Service authorities towards the initial cost of reconditioning buildings and also in facilitating the release of suitable premises.
