On Monday Lord Eustace Percy, President of the Board of

Education, explained his schemes for linking education with commerce, and dealt in particular with education for salesmanship. A Committee has been appointed, with Mr. F. W. Goodenough of the Gas, Light and Coke Company as Chairman, to think out the problem of educating for salesmanship. There is no doubt that a very important field, still lying uncultivated, here awaits the efforts of the educationist. It is useless for our industries' to increase their productive capacity if there are no markets, and It is for the salesman to create markets. *
