The failure of the technician

Since the start of organized industry the brilliant performance of the technician has been creating industrial and social problems faster than the community can solve them. The most urgent need to-day is for an immense improvement in the standard of citizenship, using the term citizenship in a wide sense. This need undoubtedly takes precedence over all others and is vastly more important than any question of further technical developments. Dr. Anderson, in his universally acclaimed Students´ Lecture, reproduced in abridged form herewith, examines a few of the problems confronting the community and which can only be solved on a national basis, that is by the members of the community acting in their capacity as citizens.
