The correspondent who described last week a visit to the
Barcelona Exhibition, and the impressive display made by Germany, might have added that the British decision against participating in that international exhibition in any worthy way has struck another blow at our commercial prestige. Time alone can cure this psychological inhibition which is at the root of our difficulties. Meanwhile there is encouraging evidence of a serious effort to provide that Training for Management which is in such urgent demand in the view both of University teachers and of business men. The Institute of Industrial Administration (47-51 King William Street, E.C. 4) announces " a complete system of study in those branches of knowledge which are common to management in all industries." The list of officers is notable, including Mr. A. S. Comyns Carr, K.C., as President, Mr. Ernest Bevin, Mr. C. T. Cramp, Sir Richard Gregory, Mr. J. Stuart Hodgson, Sir Kynaston Studd,
and Mr. Sydney Walton (and the late Sir Lawrence Weaver) among others as Vice-presidents. We strongly advise employers to co-operate in this enterprise by enrolling them- selves as" Corporate subscribers." The work of the Institute deserves to be widely known.
