ABSTRACT
The great development program which is designed to radically change the character and the conditions of production in the Soviet Union, and is based on the broad application of the latest and highest attainments of modern technique, naturally gives rise, in all its magnitude, to the problem of the new personnel, the new generation of workers who will be the agents of the technical and social reconstruction of the country. In discussing the problem of the training of skilled workers, special place should be given to the most backward field in this respect, which is that of construction. The great tasks set for the five years in regard to the rationalization of construction work and reduction of costs require that attention be paid not only to the new construction machinery and mechanical devices to be introduced, but also to the human labor engaged in the process.
