Abstract
Writing with regard to earlier notes on engineering degree courses for ex-Servicemen and those engaged in industry (Nature, 159, 497; 1947), Mr. O. S. Puckle states that the results of the inquiry have been sent to the Ministry of Education, which has handled the matter sympathetically. The Ministry is communicating with the local councils concerned with a view to the provision of classes at times more convenient for those who cannot be released for day-time attendance except on Saturday mornings. However, the final responsibility for the organisation of courses rests with the individual teaching establishments. It is hoped that suitable arrangements can be made in time for the forthcoming winter sessions; but it is regretted that it is only in certain parts of the country that the numbers of applications are sufficient to permit of any action being taken.
