Abstract

The changed attitude towards the training of apprentices since the war has also led to a 'new look' at their selection. In the same way that Binet and Simon caused educationists to pay more attention to the genetic make-up of children, so industrialists are learning that different training methods must be applied to different individuals and, equally important, that the best use will only be made of training facilities when great care is exercised in selecting the right kind of individuals for them.
