BUILDING STUDENTS
POST-WAR NEED
RUGBY, February 19
A report has been issued by a committee set up by the Central Council of Works and Buildings to consider the education and training of the men who, will be the actual rebuilders of Britain, in view of the immense expansion in the building industry which is expected after the war. The "report, calling attention to the possibilities of junior technical schools which offer boys aged 13 a three-year course with a strong vocational backs, ground, states that at present engineering rather than building is the attraction in these schools. For one student in the latter subject there are upwards often in the former. This will give an entirely wrong balance for post-war needs. To correct this maladjustment, a greatly increased intake of students of building into the schools is considered to be necessary now. More schools and more places in existing schools are therefore the first requisites. This in turn means more teachers, and a search for these instructors has to be begun.—B.O.W.
