Abstract

This article, which completes Mr Hawkins's part of of the series on apprenticeship and its problems, raises some further important issues for industry and education — and for the Government. Following articles will analyse some of the problems raised by Mr Hawkins, discussing tried and untried means of overcoming them, and will go into the question of what happens after apprenticeship.

Abstract

SO MANY swipes have been taken at the interview as an aid in the selection process that it is encouraging to find that there are some not inexperienced people who still have time for it. In ‘The Skills of Interviewing’ two well‐known teachers of management subjects with considerable experience of interviewing in industry discuss the whole range and pattern of the interview and its place in selection.

Abstract

STEPHEN PROKOFIEVITCH TIMOSHENKO was a professor of engineering at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute from 1908–1912 and a professor at the Polytechnic Institute at St. Petersburg from 1912–1917. For political reasons he left Russia in 1917 and went to America. Subsequently he became professor of engineering mechanics at Stanford University and built up a reputation both for original work and as a teacher which has made him well known in the USA and in other English‐speaking countries where his textbooks are used.

Abstract

CAREFUL READING of the Crowther Report — and not just a quick look at the Summary of Conclusions and Recommendations — fills one with admiration for the magnificent way in which the members of the Central Advisory Council for Education (England) have dealt with their terms of reference. Extended courses and examinations for late leavers in secondary modern schools, day‐release classes, sandwich courses, the no‐man's land for those who leave school at 16 and whose continued education often consists of a series of skirmishes with ill‐rewarding evening classes, the role of technical and comprehensive schools, specialisation in sixth forms — all these and other matters are discussed and the discussions lead to firm conclusions about how they may be improved, together with recommendations about how the required teachers of quality and the necessary buildings should be found.

Abstract

The changed attitude towards the training of apprentices since the war has also led to a ‘new look’ at their selection. In the same way that Binet and Simon caused educationists to pay more attention to the genetic make‐up of children, so industrialists are learning that different training methods must be applied to different individuals and, equally important, that the best use will only be made of training facilities when great care is exercised in selecting the right kind of individuals for them.

Abstract

SOME THREE YEARS after the publication of the interim report, the Management Development Schemes Committee of the BIM have issued their findings and recommendations in a final report. It is a happy coincidence that the document has arrived in time to set the seal on National Productivity Year. For here is material which, properly used, could help to build the foundations of national productivity and prosperity for many a year to come.
