training in such workshops to any large extent then it is
importentt to remove the-psychological objection which is
probably in their minds. They may not be willing to sign
on as apprentices, (or whatever the correct term may be),
but may be willing to do precisely the same dirty work if

I am forwarding this note in order that it may be

I to deal with an engineering question; but I am anxious
to stress two points: 1) that a graduate who is unwilling
to dirty his hands may not be a bad engineer when once
has been induced to dirty them:
