Abstract
WE have now considered the questions which arise in regard to personnel, whether of its quality or of the tactics by which the best use can be made of the men and women trained for scientific and industrial research. We have seen that some regard must be paid to our needs, not only in respect of quality but also of the numbers of such workers. Any serious discrepancy between the output of such trained men and women from the universities and technical colleges and the demand of the nation for their services must have serious consequences, either by impeding the immediate execution of our research programmes, for example, or by discouraging men and women of the highest ability from entering on such careers.
