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.
