Health Lectures in H.M. Prisons Through the enlightened mind and broad outlook of the Home Secretary, the Right Hon. Edward Shortt, M.P., and the Chairman of the Prison Commissioners, Mr. M.L. Waller, the League is delivering lectures dealing with the Mind and Body to the inmates of His Majesty's Prisons. This is a new departure, these being the first lectures given on this subject in the Prisons. Sir Bruce Bruce-Porter, K.B.E., C.M. G., M.D., Medical Councillor of the League, who has been so generous in giving his services as lecturer to the League, delivered the opening lecture of the series at H.M. Pentonville Prison in April, 1922. The Lectures in the female Prisons will be given by Medical Women Lecturers of the Medical Council and Lecturing Staff of the League. Industrial Hygiene and Vocational Guidance Selection and Training In view of the great Labour Wastage in this country, resulting in a huge economic loss, estimated by Professor Edgar L. Collis, M.D., M.R.C.P., Preventative Medicine Chair, South Wales University, member of the Research Fatigue Board and Medical Councillor of the League, at not less than £100,000,000 annually, which loss, in his opinion, is occasioned by lack of Vocational Guidance, Selection and Training, a course of lectures was arranged by the League under the title of "The Economy of Health and the Human Side of Industry and Commerce," the syllabus of which was drawn up by Professor Collis and Professor C. S. Myers, M.D., Sc. D., F.R.S., Director of the National Institute of Industrial Psychology and member of the Medical Council of the League, the subject of the course being developed on the most comprehensive lines.
