The Deck Hands on the National
Vessel p. 98
By Bjarni Kristjónsson, Headmaster
of the Technical College of Iceland.
Mr. Kristjcánsson compares the ear-
ly national investment in higher edu-
cation between intellectual groups
and practical/technical training. He
points out that in our technically ori-
ented society it will not be enough
to have the traditional learning as
ballast and an intellectual flag ot the
mast top if there are no deck hands
on the national vessel.
