Discussion on "Personal problems of management" at the Leicester Section of the Institution

MB. W. H. BINGHAM (Section President): I think you all agree with mef that we have listened this evening to a most comprehensive paper. At the conclusion of the paper Mr. Puckey said that there were other, or many other, phases of management with which he had not dealt, but I think that he has dealt with all phases and aspects of management. I feel like a schoolboy, or apprentice, who has been invited by his teacher, or his departmental manager, to make a tour of, shall I say, the British Industries Fair, or the Ideal Homes Exhibition, and on getting to the entrance he is given a catalogue. The teacher says: "Come on, Johnny," and we go up one gangway, down the next, and so on for a space of one and a quarter hours, and find myself outside again with the catalogue in my hand, and the teacher asking: "What do you think about it, Johnny?" It has been such a comprehensive treatment of the subject.
