The future of this country depends entirely upon the personal qualities and skills of its people. Economically we must produce or perish and we must, moreover, produce goods which are thoroughly up-to-date and saleable at prices which will allow us to compete in world markets. The key to productivity lies largely in the increasing application of science and technology to industrial processes, and this application is determined by the technical skill and knowledge of the personnel engaged in industry. This skill and knowledge is obtained partly in the technical college and partly in industry itself, but the ultimate responsibility rests fairly and squarely on the shoulders of the individual who often has to study on his own. For this reason, the provision of suitable and good scientific and technical text-books is of the greatest importance since they can do much for the individual student to supplement the work of the teacher in the classroom, the laboratory, and at the bench. Major-General C. Lloyd Director of the Department of Technology, City & Guilds of London Institute; Secretary, Associated Examining Board; Formerly Director General of Army Education
