The commission recommends that the work of polarizing sugars be placed
in the hands of chemists, or at least of persons who are familiar with
the use of the polariscope and have some knowledge of the theory of
its construction and of chemical manipulations. To this end we would
suggest that applicants for positions where such work is to be done
should be obliged to undergo a competitive examination in order to
test their fitness for the work that is to be required of them.
