Abstract
MR. TIZARD'S address1 to Section L (Educational Science) of the British Association calls for certain comments. In view of the existing unemployment among scientifically trained men and women, he calls for a reduction in the number trained in future, and suggests that it is a good policy deliberately to keep the supply somewhat short of the demand, at least in the case of biologists. This may be economically sound from the point of view of persons already trained in biology, who would thus acquire a scarcity value, like those pigs which have survived the recent massacre of their species in the United States.
