Abstract
BY invitation of the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, the universities, together with various institutions concerned with technical, commercial, and agricultural education, sent representatives to a conference held at Australia House on June 11 and 12 for the purpose of discussing problems which have presented themselves to the War Office in connection with the working of the educational schemes within the British Army and the Forces of the Dominions. Sir Henry Wilson described Lord Gorell's work as an effort to weave education into the life of soldiers, to make use of all special knowledge and skill possessed by enlisted men, and to hand back the soldiers on their return to civil life better citizens than they would have been but for their experience in the Army.
