21) I hasten to confirm that the national council of the Institute of Traffic Adminiqration is vitally aware of the necessity for an upto-date approach to the important question of education and training for the traniport administrator.
In May last year we committed ourselves to start a comprehensive internal examination system to be effective from the autumn of 1968. Considerable research and study is required to produce an effective, practicable and modern scheme—it would have been all too easy to produce (or reproduce) yet another version of the old standard course which has served so many so well for so long.
Our aim is to break fresh ground by producing a syllabus which is in line with modern conditions and needs, which is why 1968 was chosen for its introduction. In terms of practicability the most difficult aspect is that of having to cater for minimum numbers of students in classes throughout the UK. This almost compels some standardization of subjects so that students of all the various professional bodies can combine in joint classes and thus meet the minimum attendance regulations necessarily imposed by local education authorities and others who are ever ready to co-operate.
The announcement last year of our intention has already produced a most encouraging response which ranges from directors and transport manager to the younger officers wishing to study for improvement and advancement. May I. through you, invite any helpful advice and suggestions (which I undertake to place before our education committee) from Aand C-licence traffic personnel— at all levels—whom with others we aim to serve.
Until 1968 we continue to consider applications from individuals with relevant experience and/or various qualifications, and regular monthly meetings at our 12 UK centres are designed to promote improved standards of knowledge, mutual understanding and good fellowship.

Administration.
