Abstract
THE delegates to the annual conference of the British Association for Commercial and Industrial Education, which was held at Ashridge in October 1947, were welcomed by the president of the Association, Sir Charles Tennyson, who stated that "the task confronting us to-day will require a range of knowledge in natural science, economics, sociology and psychology of which our grandfathers can never have dreamed, and a degree of perseverance, common sense and mutual consideration which must be a severe tax on human frailty. It is clear that education can make an inestimable contribution to the solution of these difficulties but . . . there seems to be a general consensus of opinion that education has made the mistake of confining itself to ‘subjects', dealing with these in isolation and not relating them sufficiently to the needs and circumstances of society and man‘s everyday life and avocations.
