PROVIDING THE TECHNOLOGISTS

Britain's Plans To Expand Training And Educational Facilitlės ·
Britain is faced with a heavy and increasing demand for trained scientists. While the number and quality of her graduates in
pure science compares favourably with those of 'other countries, the number of men trained in applied science is comparatively small and is now clearly insufficient for the needs of British industry.
In a White Paper the Govern- ment recently reviewed what has been done in recent years. and what now proposes in order to meet this problem,

National Certificates
Most of these courses lead to the award of the national certi- ficates, the highest of which is not far below degree standard.
It is now proposed to develop a number of these colleges in England and Wales, with a similar development in Scotland, so that they can concentrate upon the training of technolo- gists.
At the same time the local education authorities will be asked to give these colleges a degree of academie freedom, with conditions of employment for nendemic staffs comparable to those of universities.

CABINET REDUCES EXPLOSION RISK
For many years the danger of explosion from handling perchloric acid and the toxic effects of hydrofluoric acid have been predominant in the minds of chemists and laboratory assiştants.
As a result of considerable research into the effects of these and other aggressiye chemicals on conventional wood and metal fume cabinets, a well-known firm of chemical plant engineers have produced the "Turbro" Cabinet, types 3 and 6.
