Abstract

THE wide attention now being given to training for management in industry is indicated by the discussion in Section F (Economics) of the British Association at the recent Blackpool meeting on the subject. This interest finds ample justification in a pregnant passage in the introduction to the recent annual report of the Industrial Health Research Board. The aim of the research work directed by the Board is to advance knowledge which may be used in the prevention of industrial misfits, the complex causes of which offer a wide field for investigation. While many factors enter into industrial fitness, advancing knowledge now offers the prospect of being able to lay down, though not rigidly, reasonable physical and mental standards for various occupations which should ensure for the operative entering industry a greater chance of maintaining good health, in the broadest sense of the word, during his working life.
