Abstract
FOLLOWING the presidential address to Section L (Education) of the British Association, delivered on September 2 by Sir Fred Clarke, a discussion took place on "Technology and the Humanities in Further Education". This was introduced by two short papers on the subject, one by Prof. A. E. Burstall, of King's College, Newcastle, who spoke form the academic point of view, and a second by Mr. K. R. Evans and Mr. B. J. Crowther, of Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd., Manchester who spoke as industrialists. The authors of both papers were emphatic that the further education of the technologist should include the humanities as well as advanced technology ; both were equally insistent that the character and personality of the teacher are all-important to success.
