 on man the cry has been "Technical Education"; but 

 Technical Education alone, any more than workshop 

 practice alone, cannot iolve these deep and urgent pro- 

 blems. Government, employer, educationist, scientist, 

 workman must wo'rk '>ut the details of a scheme whicli 

 shall assist the production of efficient workmen, select, 

 those fitted by natural capacity for more responsible work 

 and higher training, and see that they get it, and prevent 

 at all cost the drift downwards. 



Dr. J. L. Glasson, in dealing with University Educa- 

 tion, stressed the dual nature of the function of a Univer- 

 sity — teaching and research. The latter was too often 

 overlooked, and even where its importance was realised 

 scientific workers were often insufficiently alive to the 

 necessity of utilising their discoveries by co-operation with 

 manufacturers. In the other brand" of University work, 

 viz., teaching, the particular needs of the University of 

 Tasmania were outlined.

 Dennis Butler, and Lindon took part.
