Abstract
MR. R. W. FEBGTJSON in “Training for Industry” presents a well-documented account of various training and educational schemes which have been introduced by certain important business concerns. It deals mainly with training facilities provided by the firms themselves, rather than those provided by universities, colleges and technical schools. The book suffers from the defects of the method by which the material has been collected it is based on the answers to inquiries conducted by the Association for Education in Industry and Commerce. Though its scope is limited to describing those schemes of which particulars were obtained, it should serve a useful purpose in giving some idea of the amount of educational and training work which is being quietly undertaken in Great Britain by industry itself. A valuable feature is the inclusion of fourteen detailed appendixes relating to specific educational schemes which have been introduced by various large firms or industries.
