TOIl D0R ELECTRIC ECONOMY IN LJUBLJANA
The entire work of the institute for the Electric Economy in Ljubljana is
concerned with the electrification needs of Slovenia. The institute studies
particular problems extensively and thoroughly and publishes the results in
reports. Each report has a short introductory summary, never longer than two
pages. This summary makes it possible for a field worker to apply the results
of the study immediately, leaving close examination of the problem until later
when he finds time to study the complete report.
From the beginning, the institute has worked on the theory that all re-
ports reflect the staff's collective opinion; the entire staff is responsible
for every report. The staff discusses every aspect of reports in assembly
sessions, so Avery member has an opportunity to make additions or corrections.
Since the institute is well aware of its responsibility for its products, it
prepares, sifts, revises, and perfects them thor..ughl?r and logically.
The institute also has broader responsibilities. Since electrification
demands great efforts from the working people and every Yugoslav citizen, it
is the responsibility of the institute to inform the masses about its prob-
lems and objectives. The institute has provided for this by erecting a special
building in which there is a large lecture hall for popular scientific lec-
tures, important scientific conferences, national and international profes-
sional conferences, lectures for students of electrical engineering, and
special courses for field engineers and technicians working to round oat their
background with the latest findings in electrical engineering theory. This
hall is to be available for events and lectures not strictly pertaining to
electrical engineering, for it should be utilized to the fullest extent.

The Institute for the Electric Economy has experienced and still en-
counters many difficulties because its reports are not disseminated suffi-
ciently or do not reach the places where they are most needed. In many
cases, bureaucratic and administrative difficulties prevent the institute's
reports from reaching places where they are needed. All reports of the insti-
tute should be printed so an adequate number of copies are available. The
institute is to have its own printing shop, so it will be able to solve this
problem. It is necessary to inform not only the p',l.ic but all personnel in
the field how much the institute's work has advanced, what concrete findings
are already available, and what the contents are of completed reports. Per-
haps this need can be met by having a column in the Elektrotehnicki Vesnik
(Electrotechnical Herald) which would describe the institute's work.
The following are the 24 reports completed and published up to 1 Jan-
uary 1951.

publish in chronological order summaries of the above 2 reports in its
future issues.
