Abstract
IN the fifteenth Annual Report of the National Institute of Industrial Psychology, the problem of vocational guidance is given prior place, and evidence is produced of the increasing recognition by bodies concerned with the placing of young people of the desirability of using scientific knowledge when advising them, instead of leaving the choice to chance or the vagaries of people ignorant of the problem. Recent developments indicate a growing interest in this aspect of the Institute's work. In addition, investigations have been continued for a number of firms into problems concerned with factory and office organisation, selection of staff, marketing and the standardisation of tests. Lectures have been given in different towns in order to interest and inform industrialists about the importance of the workers of the machines as well as of the machines. The Report concludes with an account of the Institute's financial position.
