[By Electric Cable —Copyrigh'.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] LONDON, Oct. 27.
“For business university training is an absolute waste of time,” asserts Mr. W. E. Morris, the noted motorcar manufacturer. “Though there are exceptions, I have never found a university trainee any use in my organisation. The university will not confer the qualities essential in commerce. but it obliterates them if they arc originally present. It does not give the understanding of the workers’ psychology essential to the carrying on of a large scale business. I started life in the engineering shop and therefore know what the workers think. Nobody can succeed without
