or London even, supply an excellent man of this type.
He suggests that it might be possible to get someone
who has already been employed in a Technical College
or even the technical side of a University in contact
with students. He feels with me, that the require-
from the ma. ment of formal qualifications, though such are valu-
able, is not so important as his own skill, his ex-
perience in the shops, including foundry, or with stu-
dents. Such superior workmen have been, for years
employed by professors of engineering and others in
educational work.
May I add something from myself? I thought the
method of selection of lads for the Technical School
extremely valuable, taking from families of engineers,
and demanding a high physical standard. It might be
well, I think, to draw attention to the satisfactory
results of this method later on, by a note in our
"Quarterly Review". I am glad to see the phrase at
the bottom of page 10, that teachers are required
with a different training from those in Secondary
Schools, and I think it is most praiseworthy of the
principal to take the trouble in the method described
on page 11.
