A few w'ords, therefore, of comment and explanation with regard to the definition clause of the Technical Instruction Acts are absolutely necessary in order to save confusion at later stages of the Report. § 2. The two sides of Technical Education. — Technical education has an educational and an industrial side, including at once the parts of ordinary school education which impart knowdedge applicable to industry or commerce (e.r/. science, drawdng, commercial geography and history) and the parts of ordinary reo?7i’.s7iop or office training which can be best taught in special schools or classes principles of machine or building construction, plumbing, or book-keeping). In practice these two branches of technical education cannot be kept quite distinct, but tend to overlap each other ; while they also merge on the one hand into the ordinary curriculum of the elementary, secondary or higher school, and on the other hand into the routine training of the w'orkshop. The distinction here drawm — wdiich, though the edges are blurred, is most important to keep in mind — is expressed in the first sentence of the definition, according to which technical instruction includes both (1) the principles of science and art applicable to industry, and (2) the application of special branches of science and art applicable to specific industries and employments. § 3. Relation of Technical Education to Workshop Training. — The line of demarcation between technical education and the ordinary workshop training is drawm by the next sentence, wdiich declares “ It shall not include teaching the practice of any trade or industry or employment.” That some line should be drawn "which would prevent public funds being used in duplicating the work of mere appren- ticeship is obvious, and the above sentence appears to draw it as w’ell as the inherent difficulty of the case permits. Here, of course, as before, we find a blurred margin, a debateable ground which might be assigned to trade practice or to technical education. The experience howmver, of other County Councils has shown that the difficulty is a limited one, and the Act itself provides for the determination of doubtful cases by an appeal to the Science and Art Department. j; A sufficient number of decisions have now’ been given by the Science and .■\rt Department on particular cases to admit of our formulating w'ith sufficient clearness the principles on which the division should be made. Roughly speaking, the practical work of the technical school should aim at and be limited to the teaching and illustration of principles and methods. If it go beyond this and attempt the mechanical drilling of the pupil in the various processes, with a view not to attain insight into principles of work, but to gain mechanical skill and dexterity, it is trenching on the teaching of the practice of a trade. There is, however, a class of cases in which the complete teaching of a handicraft is permitted, inasmuch as the teaching of principles and practice are so inextricably bound up together that they cannot be divorced. The teaching of various crafts, such as clay modelling, wmod-carving, metal- work, &c., is separately authorised under the head of manual instruction (“ modelling in clay, wood, or other material ”) without the necessity of referring to the Science and Art Department. No important technical school in London, so far as I know, with the possible exception of the Horological School at the Polytechnic, has attempted to go or contemplates going further into trade teaching than is authorised by the Acts, and the limiting clause w'ill not therefore be felt as a hindrance in administering any County Council Scheme. Such schools as the “ Ecoles d’Apprentissage ” in Paris would be excluded, as they profess to train a boy completely for his trade, liut these schools, however adapted for France, have been reported against by more than one English Commission^ as ill- * Technical Instruction Act, 1891. These Acts will be treated in greater detail in section III. t'l’echnical Instruction Act, 1889, section 8. It is necessary always to rcinend)er that, as pointed out above, technical education covers both technical and manual instruction as defined above. + Of course the Department cannot in any way modify an Act of Parliament, but the Science and Ait Department is charged with the duty of sanctioning jiarticnlar subjects r,f instruction. § e.g. Royal Commission on Technical Instruction, and Mr. Cunynghame’s report to the Charity Commission 6 suited to English conditions ; iind their great expense, and the fact that school apprenticeship, though in some ways superior, can never be equivalent to workshop training, will probably prevent a movement for their establishment in London. Another class of teaching excluded by the definition is that given in induslrial schools and schools connected with reformatories, workhouses, blind asylums, &c., where rough trades are taught throughout. Much of the industrial teaching in workhouse schools might, it is true, be very advantageously replaced by real technical education, and I venture to suggest to the County Council the propriety at some future time of taking action in this direction. 4. Relation of Technical Education to Secondary Education. — Having defined the distinction between technical education and the teaching of a trade, w’e have next to determine the frontier which divides it on the other side from general education. Here the distinction is rather a difference of purpose than of actual subjects of instruction. If w'e examine the list of subjects included in the definition clause of the Act, and add to it the recently published list of extra subjects authorised by the Science and Art Department on application from local authorities,* we see that almost all subjects of general instruction in schools, with the exception of classics and literature, may be comprised in its scope. The County Council is therefore legally empowered to treat technical education as including the whole field of secondary education minus literature and ancient languages. It may, on the other hand, treat the schedule of possible subjects of instruction as governed by the opening sentence of the definition, according to which any subject in order to be included in technical instruction must have an industrial application. In this more limited sense “technical education” includes that side of secondary education which keeps the after career and future livelihood of the pupil in view’. It will be seen at once that, though this distinction of object is a real and most important one from an educational point of view, a hard and fast line cannot easily be drawn in practice, and hence the growing strength of the demand that the restriction such as it is shall be removed, and the powers of the County Councils frankly extended to secondary education as a whole.f Pending this legislation the County Council will probably do well to confine its attention to subjects of secondary education which have an unmistakeable industrial bearing. § 5. Relation of Technical Education to Elementary Schools. — Such are the limits — right and left — of the instruction which the County Council is empow’ered to promote. There is one further limit, not to the character of the instruction, but to the class of pupil on whose teaching the funds may be expended under the Acts. No part of the funds may be used for the teaching of children w’ho are in the standards of elementary schools. J This restriction does not in any way imply that such children should not receive technical education, but suflicient provision is supposed to be already made for their case b} the grants from the Education Department for “class” and “ specific” subjects, and from the Science and Art Department for drawing, manual instruction, and elementary science. It is very important to remember this point, because some critics, observing the clause which limits the direct benefits of the Acts to children above the elementary school standards have supposed that technical education in elementary schools is thereby forbidden. On the contrary, the limitation arises from the fact that funds are already provided from other public sources for such parts of elementary education as would otherw’ise come within the Acts. There is no upper limit fixed in the Acts either to the standard of teaching, or the social class or age of pujuls w’hose instruction may he promoted by the County Council. § 6. It will now be seen that technical education falls into two main divisions: (1) the yeneral preparation for industrial employment, (2) the special instrvctio7i given to pupils already employed in industry. In order to form just conclusions about the first of these sections of our subject, we must inquire into the teaching and organisation of the London higher-elementary, secondary and special schools, and the technical sides of the higher London colleges. In order to understand the second, we must inquire not only into the character and distribution of evening tecbnical schools and classes, but also into the nature, grouinng, and relative importance of the chief I.ondou industries, and the modes of workshop training at present obtaining in them. Before however entering on these wide subjects, we must get a clear idea of the nature and liiiiits cf the powers of the County Council with regard to technical education. '* Jteport of Science and Art ])c))artnicnt (1892). t A Bill for this pin] esc was introduced early in the year into the last Barliaincnt by the ] resent 4 ice- President of the Council on Education (then a private niember). J 'I'his is certainly the real meaning of the jihrasc “receiving instmcticri at an elementary school in the obligatory or standard subjects.” Bee. 1 (1) ((') Act of 1889. 7 III.— POWERS OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL. §1. General poivers. — The powers of the County Council with regard to technical education are defined by the Technical Instruction Acts of 1889 and 1891. Under the Local Taxation (Customs and Excise) Act, 1890, the Council is empowered to treat the residue of the beer and spirit duties as though it were a rate for the purposes of the above Acts, but this Act appears not to limit or extend in any other way the powers conferred on the Council by the Technical Instruction Acts.* The special grant may be used for education, whether or not a rate has been raised for the purpose. The Council is authorised by the Technical Instruction Acts to expend money on any or all of three objects — (1.) They may supply technical education, i.e., work directly by founding schools, establishing classes and engaging teachers themselves [sec. 1 (1) T. I. Act, 1889]. (2.) They may aid the supply of technical education, i.e., work indirectly by making grants to governing bodies of schools and classes supplying technical education, under certain conditions [sec. 1 (1) d e/T. I. Act, 1889]. (8.) They may promote technical education by establishing scholarships and exhihitions, or paying fees of scholars, i.e., by making grants (on conditions) to individual students of merit, to enable them to obtain technical education at some school or class [sec. 1, T. I. Act, 1891]. § 2. Restrictions on direct supply. — Beyond the fact that no part of the Council’s funds may be used for the instruction of children who are in the standards of an elementary school (see above, p. 6) and that any schools and classes established must be subject to a conscience clause [sec. 1 (1), {b) and (c), T. I. Act, 1889], the Council is allowed a very free hand with regard to the direct supply of technical education. It is controlled by no central department, except in the case of any doubt arising as to the scope of the definition of technical education (see above, p. 5). Certain additional restrictions, however, are naturally insisted on with regard to grants to existing institutions. § 3. Restrictions on firants-in-aid. — These conditions are embodied in sec. 1 (l), (d), (e) and (/) of the Act of 1889, amended by sec. 1 (2) of the Act of 1891. Any obscurity in the meaning of these clauses has now been removed by several decisions on particular cases by the Science and Art Department and the Local Government Board. Briefly speaking, the sections provide as follows : — (a) Claims of Existing Institutions. — In distributing such part of the grant as is made in aid of the supply of technical education (and not in the direct supply of such education, or in the provision of scholarships and exhibitions), due regard must be had to the nature and amount of efficient technical education supplied in the various existing technical schools and classes. The Council is not bound to distribute grants exclusively in proportion to the present amount or efficiency of their work, but may take into account all the circumstances of the case (sec. 1 (2) T. I. Act, 1891). In fact, since the passing of Sir Henry Roscoe’s amending Act of 1891, the only force left in the original section is a general direction to the County Council not to pass over any qualified institu- tions without considering their case, and being prepared to assign reasons. In extreme cases institutions have a right of appeal to the Science and Art Department, but this is very rarely exercised.] (b) Reyrescntation. — The Council must be represented on the governing bodies of schools or classes receiving grants. The amount of representation is thus defined — “ The local authority shall, for the purposes of this Act, be represented on the governing body of the school or institution in such proportion as will, as nearly as may be, correspond to the proportion which the aid given by the local authority bears to the contribution made from all sources other than the local rate and money provided by Parliament to the cost of the technical or manual instruction given in the school or institution aided.” It was at first thought that some inconvenience would arise from the literal application of this rule, and it is clear from the consideration of extreme cases that the rule-of-three sum therein prescribed might work out in a very queer fashion. In practice the difficulty has proved very limited. It is to be observed that the County Council representatives need not necessarily be members of the County Council, so that the clause is really an enabling and not a restricting one, so far as the Council is concerned. The Council may require the acceptance of county councillors on boards of managers. It may on the other hand accept certain existing governors as its representatives according to circum- stances. It is to be added that no representation of the County Council is required in case of grants to the School Board. (c) Audit. — The audit clause (sec. 5 of the Act of 1889) gives the County Council power to insist on any form of audit which it may deem desirable in the case of grants made to institutions. {d) The Council is forbidden to make grants in aid of schools conducted for private profit (Sec. 1 (1) f of the Act of 1889). * “ The Solicitor to the Treasury, who has been consulted in the matter, has expressed the o])inion that a contribution made by a County Council under sub-section 2 of section 1 of the Local Taxation (Customs and Lxcise) Act, 1890, is made subject to the provisions of the Technical Instruction Act, 1889, so far as they may be applicable thereto. The Solicitor explains that, in his judgment, the words ‘for the purposes of technical educa- cation within the meaning of the Technical Instruction Act, 1889,’ as used in the sub-section mentioned, must In; held to refer to all provisions in the Act of 1889, which relate to the definition of technical education, and the limitations and conditions attaching to the imparting of such education.” — (Extract from letter from Local Government Board, transmitted by the Science and Art Department to the Deputy Clerk of the West Riding County Council, November 5, 1890.) t Thus in the last report of that Department recently issued, we find “ In very few cases has the Depart- ment been .appealed to under the section of the Act, which provides that the Dep.artment of Science and Art sh.all determine any question which may arise as to the amount allotted to each school.” 8 The meaning of this phrase, and the various classes of schools excluded by it is dealt with fully in the next section (see p. 10). Here it may be sufficient to say broadly that a school is deemed to he conducted for private profit, if its manager or board of managers are financially interested in it. Thus not only schools conducted for the profit of the master, but schools managed by companies which pay a dividend come under the term. It does not appear that the Council is forbidden to allow any of the scholarships which it may establisli to be held at private profit schools if it think fit to do so, since the provision of scholarships is of the nature of aid to the individual rather than to the school. It must be admitted, however, that this point has hardly been decisively determined. § 4. Administration of the Acts. — The County Council is specially empowered (by sec. 1 (2) of the Technical Instruction Act, 1889) to delegate any of its powers under the Act (except the levying of a rate or the borrowing of money), to a Committee composed wholly or partly of members of the Council. This ])ower is sufficient to permit the Council, if it think' tit, to administer the technical educa- tion fund througl? a composite Committee, rejnesenting not only the Council itself but other important educational bodies, such as the Loudon School Board and the proposed Teaching University. It also permits the formation of special committees for special districts or subjects, on which outsiders with special knowledge or experience may be invited to sit. § 5. Relation of the County Council to other Educational Authorities. (i) Education Department. — The sphere of action of the Education Department and the County Council scarcely overlap at all. The Education Department is not referred to in any way in the Technical Instruction Acts. The only points where the work of the two authorities comes into contact are — {a) Evening continuation schools, in which pupils who have passed the fifth standard and are not learning the “ standard subjects,” may receive technical education, and at the same time earn the capitation grant and grant on special subjects paid on evening schools by the Education Department. [h] The Education Department has to approve Charity Commission schemes for endowed secondary schools, polytechnics, &c. {(') The County Council may assist the technical education of pupil teachers and teachers on whose training the Education Department pays grants. (ii) Science and Art Department. — The Science and Art Department is the authority under the Technical Instruction Acts which — [а] Sanctions the list of subjects other than those contained in the Science and Art Directory, or those which fall under the head of “ manual instruction,” the teaching of which the County Council proposes to aid. (б) Determines doubtful points as to the qualifications of institutions to receive aid, and decides appeals as to the exclusion of institutions from their fair share of aid. I^esides these special powders under the Technical Instruction Acts, the Science and Art Depart- ment examines and aids by grants the teaching of a large number of technical subjects,* trains teachers and other students in science and art at the Koyal College of Science and the National Art Training School, and offers scholarships and exhibitions to enable students to study these subjects at these colleges and other schools of science and art. This then is the government department most intimately concerned with the administration of the Technical Instruction Acts. * The Science and Art Department (in addition to the aid wliich it gives to drawing, manual instruction, Ac., in public elementary schools), gives aid to the teaching of the following subjects : — (1). Science — Practical, Plane and Solid Geometry. Machine Construction and Drawing. Building Construction. Naval Architecture. Mathematics. Theoretical Mechanics (n solids, h fluids). Applied Mechanics. Sound, Light and Heat. Magnetism and Electricity. Inorganic Chemistry (theoretical and practical). Organic do. do. Geology. Mineralogy. Human Physiology. General Biology. Zoology. Botany. Prineijiles of Mining. Metalling (theoretical and practical). Navigation. Nautical Astronomy. Steam. Physiograj)hy. Princijdes of Agriculture. Hygiene. (2) . Art — A. Di-awing (freehand, models, casts). B. Architecture (architecture, architectural design, pers])ective and mechanical di-awing). C. Design (princij)les or ornament, historic ornament, design). T). Painting (monochrome ornament, still life). E. Study of the Figure (anatomy, life, antique, design [honour stage]). F. Modelling (from cast, ornamental design, life, antique). (3) . Manual Instruction in use of tools (only paid to organised science schools). 'I’he grants are made chiefly on results of examination according to a scale and subject to conditions given in full in the Directory of the Science and Art Department. The scale of grants has recently been re-cast, all payment on sccond-c/oss passes in the “elementary” stage of science being withdrawn, and the grants on the “ advanced ” and “honours” stages being increased. Other minor changes have also been made. The net result of the changes is to leave elementary science and art teaching less adecpiately supported than has hitherto been the case. Grants on manual instruction are in the form of capitation grants. 9 (iii) Chanty Commission. — The Charity Commission comes in contact with the work of educational organisation within the meaning of the Technical Instruction Acts in three ways — (a) The Eyidoived Schools Department, administering the Endowed Schools Acts, frames and modifies schemes for endowed secondary schools or scholarship foundations. Changes in governing bodies of such schools required in order to admit of the representation of the County Council, and other modifications necessary to meet their requirements, must be made by scheme of the Charity Commission. {h) The Charity Commission acting under its ordinary jurisdiction (i.e. under the Charitable Trusts Acts) makes and alters schemes for applying charities to educational purposes. (There are a number of scholarship foundations in London constituted under these Acts.) (c) The City Parochial Charities Department administering the City Parochial Charities Act, has framed schemes for technical institutes and “ polytechnics ” in London, endowed with funds formerly applied to the City of London Parochial Charities. A central body of trustees for these funds has been constituted, representing the Crown, County Council, City Corporation and other bodies, and the endowments of each polytechnic are paid over by them, (iv) School Boards for Lcmdon. — In the main the field of operations of the County Council under the Technical Instruction Acts lies outside that of the School Board under the Elementary Education Acts. There are, however, certain points where they touch or overlap. {a) Ex-standard scholars in Board Schools are eligible for aid from the County Council. {h) Scholars of Board Evening Schools, who have passed the 5th Standard, and are not receiving instruction in the standard subjects, are also eligible for aid. (c) The training of pupil teachers in Science and Art is probably within the power of both School Board and County Council. The further training of teachers in special subjects is deemed by the Government Department to be outside the powers of the School Board,* and within those of the County Council. Nine-tenths however of the work of the County Council will lie entirely outside the sphere of infiuence of the School Board, and the remaining tenth can be easily dealt with by a Joint Committee, or may be left entirely to the School Board, to which the County Council has special power to make a grant without representation. * The case, however, is still, I believe, under appeal. [ 2 ] 10 IV.— GENERAL CLASSIFICATION OF INSTITUTIONS (according to the nature of their governing bodies). Institutions for technical and secondary education in London may be classified as follows according to the nature of their governing bodies — ’ (1.) Endowed schools with constitutions regulated by the Charity Commissioners under the Endowed Schools Acts, or the City Parochial Charities Act, by Royal Charter, or by the Court of Chancery. Examples of such schools in London are the United Westminster Schools, the Haberdashers’ Aske’s Schools at Hatcham and Hoxton, &c., &c. — Charity Commission (Endowed Schools Acts): the Polytechnic, the Borough-road Institute, the People’s Palace Schools, — Charity Commission (City Parochial Charities Act): University and King’s Colleges — Royal Charter: Godolphiu School, Hammer- smith, — Chancery, In all these cases a hoard of governors is in existence with a definite legal status and no financial interest in the school, and the teachers hold their positions subject to the provisions of the scheme and the direction of the governors. In most of the Charity Commissioners’ schemes composite bodies of governors are constituted, some being ex officio governors, some nominated by various bodies, such as school boards, town councils, vestries, local hoards, colleges, schools, governors of other foundations, &c., and some co-optative. In a few schemes for endowments, of which City Companies are the trustees, the Court of the Company is the governing body. These latter schools are to he clearly distinguished from schools managed by the Companies out of their corporate funds. (2.) Schools governed and maintained by Corporations or City Companies out of their corporate fu7ids. [Those subject to a special trust are included in (1).] The governing body is here the Court of the Company, or a Committee thereof, or a mixed Committee nominated by the Company, or a Joint Committee nominated by the Courts of several companies. Such schools are not exactly “endowed,” because the grant by which they are supported is an annual one, revocable at the will of the grant-making bodies. The question of the legal status of such schools involves the Avider question of the status of the Companies themselves, which is beyond the scope of this report. Examples : The City of London School (City Corporation) ; The Goldsmiths’ Institute, New- cross ; the City and Guilds Institute (managed by a joint Committee representing the contributing companies), the Mercers’ School, College-hill, &c. (3.) Schools managed by Limited Companies registered under the Companies Acts, constituted as “ associations 7wt for profit." In these cases the governing body is the board of directors or com- mittee elected by the shareholders or subscribers, and all profits are used for the benefit of the school. Example in London, the Philological School, Marylehone. (4.) Schools managed by Limited Companies which p>ay or might pay a dividend to their share- holders. Sometimes the dividend is limited in amount, all surplus over this amount going to the benefit of the schools. In other cases the dividend is unlimited. Schools such as these undoubtedly must he classed as “ conducted for private profit,” since the members of the governing body in common with the share- holders Avhom it represents share the profits of the school, and might financially benefit from a gi-ant from the County Council. These “proprietary schools,” however, are not conducted for the private profit of the head master or mistress, and thus differ essentially in status from “private schools.” There are a large number of “ proprietary schools ” of this description in London, the greater number being for girls. Thus the Girls’ Public Day School Company, Limited, has 12 schools in London ; the Church Schools Company 3 for girls and 2 for boys ; the Boys’ Public Day School Company, 2. In these cases the schools are managed by a central board, and the sui'plus profits (if any) from the more successful or high fee’d schools may go to some extent to compensate for the loss on others. Thus, though as at present managed, all the schools managed by these companies are technically private profit concerns, several of them, as a matter of fact, are carried on permanently at a loss. There are also a few' proprietary schools managed by separate companies, e.g., the Blackheath Proprietary School (Boys), the Church of England High Schools for Girls, St. Peter’s College (Brockley), &c. No grant can legally he made in aid of any of these schools unless their constitution be con- siderably changed, so as to convert them into institutions not for profit. (5.) Schools and classes managed by Science and Art Committees. — iVll classes which receive grants from the Science and Ant Department must he managed by committees constituted in accord- ance with the Department’s regulations registered by the Department.* There are a great number of such committees in London. In all the more important cases the governing bodies of the institutions (which are constituted in one of the ways noticed above), are recognised as the Science and Art Committees. In other cases special Committees are formed for the purpose. The committees themselves have no financial interest in the classes, hut they sometimes farm them out to the teacher, w'ho pays all expenses and takes all receipts, thus conducting a private profit school under the wing of a responsible committee. t Further, these committees are sometimes responsible for particular classes only in a school or institution, access to these classes being confined to scholars of that school. In cases where the school, to whose pupils the classes are confined, is itself a private profit concern, the existence of a separate committee for the science and art classes does not either legally or really remove them from the category of institutions conducted for private profit. Thus there are a few such schools in London supplying technical education which have hitherto earned grants from the Science * Directory of Science and Art Department, p. 100. t The Science and Art Department is now insisting on the assumption of more real responsibility by Committees. Sec below i>. 19. 11 and Art Department, but which are clearly excluded from the benefits of the Technical Instruction Acts. Cases in which the Science and Art Committee is the real governing body of the school, but has made an arrangement to farm out the classes to the teacher or teachers, are on a different footing. Such classes may legally be aided by the County Council, but I strongly recommend the Council to insist on the reconstitution of the management of these schools as a condition of aid. This subject is dealt with more fully on p. 26. (6.) Schools and classes managed hy the managers of Public Elementary Schools. — The most important cases in London are the classes conducted by the London School Board, a directly elected public body. Classes are also held by managers of other public elementary schools. Any aid given to these classes must be subject to the conditions laid down on p. 6 (as to scholars in the standards) . The London School Board is the only body of managers to whom grants may be made without representation. (7.) Schools and classes connected icith manufacturing or commercial concerns. (a) Classes conducted for and confined to the employees in particular works, and subsidised or otherwise encouraged by the firms. Example ; The class in machine construction, held at the works of Messrs. Maudslay, Sons and Field. Such classes are not conducted for private profit within the meaning of the Act. The same applies to classes held in connection with workmen’s co-operative societies, open to members (i.e., customers) of the stores. (b.) Schools and classes which themselves undertake manufacturing work for sale, or are con- nected with trading concerns. Example: The School of Art Wood Carving, South Kensington. In cases in which (as here) the governing body has no financial interest in the school, the fact that individual students work for the trade, is probably no legal bar to the school receiving a grant. Where, however, the trading element is carried so far as to rule the operations of the school {e.g., the School of Art Needlework) it is unlikely that the Council would make grants of public money. Examples of schools and classes connected with trading concerns, but managed by separate committees and with separate accounts, are (n) The Royal Female School of Art, Bloomsbury, connected with the Chromo-Lithographic Studios. In this school students are trained in art, and certain of them pass into the Chromo-Lithographic Studios which occupy a separate part of the building, and are a trading concern managed by a separate committee, (fe) The Guild and School of Handicraft in Mile End is another example. The question of the legal status of schools of this kind is not simple, and each case stands on a distinct basis. The number of such schools and classes in London is small, and any doubtful case must be determined on its merits by consulting legal opinion. (8.) Schools and classes maiiaged by voluntary committees elected by subscribers and donors at an annual meeting or otherwise, and having no financial interest in the schools. Such are the classes held by the Recreative Evening Schools Association, &c. (9) Classes managed by Trade Societies. — There are very few such classes held in London. Examples : (a) Woodcarving class for the trade, held by the Institute of British Woodcarvers, and subsi- dised by the Carpenters’ Company ; (b) a metal-plate class managed by the “ Zincworkers’ Union.” (10.) Private profit schools and classes. — Of these there are a few purely technical schools, e.g., The School of Electrical Engineering (Hanover Square), &c. They are of course excluded from. County Council assistance. 12 y.— THE LOCAL DISTRIBUTION OF LONDON INDUSTRIES. § 1.— Eelation of Technical Schools to Local Industries. (a) Secondary schools. — It will be gathered from what is said above that much of what is in- cluded under “technical education’’ is a general preparation for industrial pursuits with little special reference to one particular trade. Thus drawing both mechanical and freehand, manual instruction in the sense of training for hand and eye, the elements of mechanics and physical science, and so forth, are subjects a knowledge of which lies at the base of many trades, but has no exclusive bearing on one trade in particular. The form therefore which such instruction shall take or the extent to which it shall enter into the time table both of elementary and secondary schools, is chiefly an educational rather than an industrial question. Where, indeed, the choice is open, preference may be given in a school to a sub- ject with a direct bearing on local trade. Thus of chemistry and electricity, chemistry may perhaps receive more attention in centres of chemical industry, electricity in the neighbourhood of electrical engineering works. If there be a choice between wood and metal work as an instrument of manual training, the claims of wood may be the strongest in the heart of the furniture trades of Bethnal-green and Shoreditch, of metal amid the engineering works of Poplar, Woolwich and Battersea. Freehand drawing would perhaps take a higher place among the gold and silver engravers of Clerkenwell ; geo- metry and mechanical drawing in the heart of the building and engineering trades of South London. Similarly, commercial subjects would receive most attention in a neighbourhood thickly populated with clerks. But this specialisation, if carried out at all, should merely amount to a “ bias.” Any subject useful to some particular local employment may have a part, and even a leading part, in the curriculum of a secondary school, provided, to use the words of the School Inquiry Commissioners, “ it can be made an instrument for the general cultivation of the intellect.” But it is most undesirable that these schools should abandon their educational aim for the work of mere preparation for special em 2 )loyments. {h) Special technical schools and classes. — It is altogether a different matter when we turn to the technical schools and classes attended by students already engaged in or preparing for definite trades. Here the improvement of industry, not the development of the scholar’s mind, is the first object in view. Unless we understand the character and special wants of the neighbouring industries, we are merely feeling about in the dark in trying to draw up a scheme of technical education. In dealing, therefore, with this part of our inquiry, it becomes of the very first importance to get a clear idea of the nature, relative importance and geographical distribution of the j^rincipal London trades. § 2.— The Chief Groups of Loudon Trades. Full information regarding the occupations of the inhabitants of Loudon is supplied in the occupation returns of the Census,* though in a form which has required a good deal of re-arrangement and grouping in order to yield a satisfactory result. It appears that, putting aside the employment of domestic service, which absorbs about 300,000 persons in London, and here as elsewhere stands far ahead of any other single industry in numbers, and the many industries for men and women grouped under the head of Clothing Trades, which account for 220,000 more, the largest group of skilled trades in London is that of the Building Trades, in which a total of 130,000 men and boys are employed. Next come Clerks, of whom there are over 100,000, and these in turn are followed b}' the Wood and Furniture Trades with 00,000, the Engineering and Metal Trades with 53,000, and the Printing Trades with about 50,000. Their local distribution. — As regards the local distribution of industries over the vast area of London no information is given in the Census volume, and the facts given below have been compiled expressly for this report from the mass of occupation sheets in Somerset House. f The full results of the analysis are given in the tables on pp. 88, &c., of the Report. The number of boys and girls {i.e. of persons irnder 20 years of age) working at each trade are also given in separate tables, which of course will include the great bulk of apprentices, learners and improvers, for whom perhaps more than for any other class specilic technical education is designed. § 3.— Maps of London Trades. The tables must in the main be left to tell their owm tale, but with the view' of showing in a more graphic form the total distribution of the chief groups of trades, maps of London have been prepared in which the various Registration Districts^ are coloured according to the proportion of the inhabitants engaged in each main branch of industry. It must be borne in mind in using these maps, that though in the main the impression they give is correct, there is a certain misleading element arising out of the inequality of area of the Registration Districts which serve as units for colouring. In all cases the information relates to 1881, but this source of error is but slight, since changes in the distribution of trades are very slow in operation. The maps of course show' the distribution of population by residences, not by tvork-places, and since many Londoners travel considerable distances to their work, the local distribution of the popula- tioji may not exactly correspond to the local distribution of the indirstries in which they are engaged by * The 1881 Census (the 1891 figures are not yet available). f I must here express my thanks to the llegistrar-Gencral for the kind permission accorded to Mr. Chas. Booth and myself to have access to the Census sheets for this jiurposc. and to Mr. Booth for much valuable advice and help in this difficult ta.sk of making a satisfactory groujnng of the hundreds of industries there specified. Boor Law' Unions. A glance at the tables on ]). 96 will show that in some cases, especially in the Map of Women’s Employment, certain Begistration Districts are grou])ed together. 0 -* Scale of Miles . • r A ' u !

But clearly, when we are considering the problem of the technical education of a particular neighbourhood, we want to know the occupations of the people residing there, not the industries there carried on. For the great majority of attendants at technical classes unquestionably come direct from their homes, not from their work. It appears from the maps that those engaged in the Building Trades live chiefly on the outskirts of London, principally in the south-west, in Fulham, Wandsworth, Lambeth and Camberwell. A considerable number live in Hackney and the north-east of London, while the smallest proportion is naturally to be found in the central and eastern districts, where there is least scope for new building. The Metal and Engineering Trades are found chiefly in the east and south-east of London, Greenwich, Woolwich and Poplar heading the list. On the whole the mass of those engaged in the Building and Engineering Trades reside on the Surrey side of the Thames. Those engaged in the Printing Trades on the other hand are chiefly found in the centre of London, in a strip running north and south, including Holhorn, the City and St. Saviour’s Southwark. The Wood and Furniture Trades are also chiefly central, being concentrated in Bethnal-green and Shoreditch. The Chemieal Industries carried on actually within the borders of London are comparatively small, by far the largest being the Tanning industry in Southwark. Shoreditch and Holhorn show the next highest proportion, but at a great distance. There are, however, many chemical works at West Ham. When we come to the Clothing Trades including Tailoring, Shoemaking and Dressmaking, it is necessary to deal separately with the men and women workers, and accordingly two maps are given of these trades. Both these maps show that the Clothing Trades of London are chiefly carried on in Middlesex, the only important centre south of the river being St. Saviour’s, Southwark. The women’s work is spread more evenly over a wide area than the men’s, hut both have their greatest centres in the east and east-central districts, the home of the “ machine-clothing industries. Passing from these great groups of trades we must notice some interesting highly localised trades, such as the Watch and Clock Makers, of whom more than half (or, exactly, 2,-576 out of 5,059) are concentrated in the districts of Holhorn, Islington, Hackney, and Shoreditch, by far the largest proportion being in Holborn and Islington. The Goldsmiths, Silversmiths andj Jeivellers are also chiefly concentrated in Islington and Hol- born, whence they extend to the north-west and western districts of St. Pancras, Marylebone, Hampstead, St. George, Hanover-square, and Westminster. Within this area 4,414 out of a total of 0,570 are living, the numbers in the East-end and south of the Thames being comparatively trifling. In view of the great interest and importance from the standpoint of technical training of the employments and handicrafts which depend upon design, a table more detailed than that on p. 88 has been prepared, referring exclusively to such trades (see p 96). § 4.— The proportion of Boys to Men in London Trades. A close comparison of the proportion of workers at various skilled Hades in London, who are under the age of twenty, with the corresponding proportions for the Avhole of England and Wales, as published in the Census Summary Tables, reveals the fact that in many groups of trades, Loudon workshops contain far less than the normal number of learners and apprentices. In trades which, like Silk-weaving, are dying, or, like Shipbuilding, are leaving London, this is but natural, but the same fact is true of the whole group of Building and Engineering Trades, as is seen by the following figures — Percentage of Boys to total number employed at the trade. London. Whole Country. Deficiency in London. Bricklayers 9 12 O • ) Carpenters 11 Id r> Masons ... 10 13 O Plumbers 2.“! 2G ;; Painters 8 13 .5 Engineers 13 17 4 These figures are very significant. They mean that, owing to A'arious causes, such as the extreme division of labour in these trades as practised in London,* it is less and less possible for lads to obtain in them a competent all-round Haining, and that in consequence of this these trades are being recruited to a very large extent by ready-made journeymen trained in the provinces. If the full number of learners required to recruit the building and engineering industries in London were now actually learning their trade in London, there would be 2,000 more hoys learning carpentering, 1,400 more learning house- painting, 1,200 more learning engineering, and 800 more learning bricklaying than actually appear in the census returns. Thus the influx from the country must be greatly stimulated by the want of means for the effective training of London artizans, while the London boys who should be receiving a training in the workshops and technical schools are too often qualifying as “ odd boys ” and porters for a subsequent career at the docks. § 5.— How far should Technical Classes he localised? The consideration of the local grouping of trades suggests an important question with regard to the right distribution of technical classes in a well organized scheme. * Another reason is the high rent of London workshops, which disinclines employers to toko up much room with learners. This is especially true in the furniture trade. 14 In Paris the trades are almost entirely dealt with by centralised institutions, each planted in the heart of the industry in question. Thus the Ecole Diderot at La Villette is devoted to the engineering and carpentry trades, the Ecole Estienne on the south side of the Seine is concerned with printing and bookbinding and the book trades generally, the Ecole Boule at St. Antoine supplies the wants of the furniture trades, and the Ecole Bernard Palissy those of ceramic manufactures. These, however, are “ Apprenticeship Schools,” and boys will go great distances to them from their homes if necessary. It is clear that the needs of evening students in a city of the size of London cannot be completely met in the same way by single highly specialised institutions. I have made a point of inquiring carefully from the representatives of workmen’s organisations on this point, and the general opinion is that for the more elementary work {e.g., the teaching of mechanical drawing and geometry, Ac., Ac.) bearing on the work of the ordinary workman, classes must be multiplied and brought as near as possible to his door, any available buildings, such as Board Schools, being used for the purpose. The more advanced and specialised subjects can, however, be safely confined to fewer institutions, since those who are prepared to go through the necessary hard work to master them will be probably willing to travel some distance to obtain the instruction. What seems to be required is a system of scattered classes for artizans, held in any buildings that can be obtained, but grouped round and leading up to central institutes equipped in the best manner for practical work, and devoting themselves mainly to some important group of industries in the district. We thus secure the economy of power and the efficiency given by centralisation with the advantages of local difi’usion. Practical proposals for carrying these principles into practice will be made in later sections of the Report. Meanwhile we may note with satisfaction that, paiily by design and partly by the force of circumstances, many of the chief technical schools in Loudon are already, to some extent, specialising as is here suggested above on the staple industries of their neighbourhood. Thus, for example, the Drapers’ Technical Schools at the People’s Palace in Mile-end, and the Goldsmiths’ Institute at New-cross, make an important feature of their Engineering departments, while the Art section of the Einsbury Technical College bears specially on the Furniture Trades, in whose heart it is situated ; the Leather Trades School of the City and Guilds Institute in Bethnal-green, devotes its attention exclusively to the boot and shoe trades ; and the South London Schooljof Technical Art trains designers and modellers for Pottery works. The Regent-street Polytechnic is very cosmopolitan in character, but some of the new technical institutes which are now being founded will devote themselves principally to meet the needs of local trades. Thus the Borough-road Polytechnic will make a special feature of its classes for the Building trades ; the Northampton Institute in Clerkenwell will deal with the Jewellery and Watch and Clock manufactures ; and the St. Bride’s Institute will be a school for the Printing Trades.* It may he hoped that the detailed information given in Appendix B as to the exact composition of the population of every district in London by occupation, will be of service not only to the County Council in drawing up its general scheme, but to others who may be seeking to organise technical institutes and classes suited to the requirements of particular districts. * It is also to be noted that the affiliation of branch classes to the technical institutes is specially provided for in all the recent; Charity Commissioners’ schemes tinder the City of London Parochial Charities Act.

Want of good training for Teachers . — The most important consideration and the greatest difficulty in the organization of technical education is to find a supply of well-trained and efficient teachers. That the demand for such training is felt in London is indicated by the extent to which teachers avail themselves already, not only of such training classes as already exist, but of the ordinary technical classes held in existing institutions. One of the most interesting and perhaps unexpected results shown by the analysis of occupations of technical students in London which is given in full in Appendix E is the very large proportion of students who are already teachers or who are preparing to teach. The numbers shown in these tables are exclusive of students of training colleges, of the Royal College of Science, of regular training schools in special subjects, such as the National Training School of Cookery, or of such teachers’ classes in science, drawing and manual instruction held by the London School Board. It is also in addition to the students at the various pupil teachers’ centres in London. It is quite clear that the instruction, if not the training of teachers, already occupies a large part of the energies of science, art and technical schools. Now in regard to such training quite a new set of considerations arise other than those which apply to ordinary technical classes. We have, therefore, to consider what are the requirements of London with regard to teachers and their training, how far they are already met, and how far existing agencies can be developed or require to be supplemented. § 2. The qualifications of the technical teacher . — It is the business of the technical teacher to transfer a knowledge of the subject which he teaches to the minds of his pupils. For this purpose he requires to understand not only his subject, but something at least of his pupils’ minds, the range and limitation of their capacities, and of their interests. This fact is perhaps most obvious when the pupils are school children, because in this case the subject, whether science or drawing or what not, is taught less for its own value as practical information than as an instrument for training and developing the growing faculties of the boy or girl. The right method and order in which a child should be introduced to the elements of physical science, drawing or various forms of manual w’ork, must be determined by studying the limitations and order of develop- ment of the child’s faculties. The weakness of his power of abstraction and generalisation, his slender stock of notions of the real world, his ceaseless and restless habit of observation and inquiry, and his strongly-developed creative instinct — all these points of strength and weakness must be recognised and utilised by the teacher. But though the “p^^^Ugogic” element is most easily recognised in the case of the teaching of young children, it is also very important in the instruction of practical artisans. Just as the well- trained teacher must understand and sympathise with the difficulties of the child, and know how to gain his confidence and maintain his interest, so the ideal instructor of workmen and apprentices in the principles underlying their daily work, must be equally familiar with the workmen’s point of view. Here the chief obstacles are caused, not by immature faculty, but by defects of iirevious training and by the limited amount of time and energy available for instruction, while, on the other hand, in knowledge of practical applications some of the students may be the equals or superiors of the instructor, and consequently ready-armed to criticise any blunder in the teaching on the practical side. Again, while the child learns science for the training rather than for its use, the practical man wants it for use rather than for training. We want some new educational philosopher, with knowledge of workmen as intimate as Froebel’s knowledge of children, to work out on the educational side the problem of teaching theory to jiractical men, at present an almost unexplored field of educational philosophy. It is to the neglect of this study that we must ascribe much of the failure of technical classes to exercise their full influence on those engaged in industries. § 3. Sliotdd the technical instructor be a teacher or a. p-acticcd man ? — An often debated point is whether the technical instructors should be trained teachers (who have gone through a course of instruc- tion of a practical or scientific nature), or practical or scientific experts (who have gone through a course of training in the art of teaching). It is natural that the National Union of Teachers inclines to the former alternative, and the representatives of trade societies to the latter. As a matter of fact both are right, within certain limitations, and what has been said above will help us to discriminate between them and determine the measure of truth in the two points of view. (a) The Teaching of School Pupils . — Clearly the teaching of children in schools is the province of the teacher, whatever be the subject of instruction, since a knowledge of the child’s mind is the most important qualification. Moreover the power of holding a class of children together, winning their con- fidence, keeping their attention and maintaining discipline, a power already possessed by the teacher, is very far harder to acquire than the rudiments of the subject, whatever it be, that is to be taught. I am speaking here of children of the ages of the pupils of elementary and secondary schools — up to 14 or 15. Above that age doubtless there may he a field for specific technical teaching by practical experts in a school. This point demands separate consideration, but since the vast mass of school children in London are under the age of 15, we may assert, as a general rule, that for such elementary technical teaching as is given in day schools, trained teachers, possessing a competent knowledge of the subject, are to be prefen-ed to practical men. So far the contention of the National Union of Teachers is right. (51 T'he Teaching of Practical Men . — But the argument is no less sti’ong in favour of the con- tention of the trade societies, that classes of practical men and apprentices should be taught trade subjects, so far as possible, by practical men. For reasons given above no one else is likely to gain and retain their confidence. A single and unimportant practical error, in an otherwise excellent lesson, is 16 quite enough (irrational as it may seem) to shake the confidence of the practical students, always sceptical as he is about the value of theory.* It may indeed he allowed that the trained teacher, even if his practical acquaintance with his subject be slight, could often in reality give the mechanic a great part of what he wants in the way of instruction, since with the acquaintance with the practical side of the subject which the student has gained in the workshop he w’ants the technical class chiefly to supplement his weakness on the theoretical side. But nevertheless, as things stand at present, such a teacher would stand little chance of winning the men’s confidence, and since such confidence is the indispensable condition of making any progress at all, it follows that we must start with practical men as instructors for trade classes, and this is the general practice of the best technical schools in London, so far as technological classes are concerned. § 4. Defects of practical men as teachers . — But practical men usually need training in order to be competent instructors ; they are often deficient iu grip of principles, and inclined to carry into the school the more empirical rule-of-thumb methods of workshop teaching, which it is the function of the technical school to supplement. They have, moreover, little notion of class teaching, and are apt quite uncon- sciously to neglect half the class, and give all their time to the few. Thus the teaching of the more purely technical subjects by practical men is liable to be slipshod, unmethodical and unsystematic, unless the instructors have either received some training iu the art of teaching, or are “ born teachers.” Another defect in the teaching of trade subjects by men engaged practically in the trade is that they are often so much in the groove of traditional methods that they may teach bad methods, if such methods happen to be in use. Thus, for example, a practical teacher of electric bell work may teach methods of wiring which are condemned by electrical experts, but are usual in the trade. The most important examples of this weakness are aflorded by the so-called artistic handicrafts, where the workman instructor is apt, unless rightly guided, to copy the vicious customs of modern handicraft in the exaggerated regard that is paid to “ technique ” as compared with spirit and design. The artistic crafts must therefore to a great extent be treated as branches of Art rather than of technology. So far, in short, as the technical class aims at following the best trade practice and lifting the worst trained workers up to the level of the best, a first-rate craftsman with some training in the art of teaching is the best instructor. If the aim he to accomplish the far more difficult task of reforming trade practices, of lifting an industry out of the rut in which it is fixed, on to a new plane, it is usually necessary to start from the scientific or artistic side rather than from that of the actual (and degraded) methods of work. How hard this task is even under the most favourable conditions those know who, like the Goldsmiths’ Company, have tried to raise the level of design of a once splendid and now degraded craft. Not only have we here to face individual prejudice, hut also to revolutionise the conditions of the market. Unless we are prepared to endow State workshops for artistic crafts (like Sevres and the Gobelins in France) progress in improving the standard of an industry which is oppressed by a strong but bad tradition must be but slow. As to the right instructor for such a purpose no rules can he laid down. He may he a craftsman, a teacher or an entire outsider. But he must he a man of exceptional power, and his best chance of success is, as a rule, to start as near as possible to recognised trade ])ractice. II. — The kind of Training Classes required. In a properly organised system of technical education in London, there ought to be facilities, first for training practical men in the art of teaching, secondly for giving trained teachers practical knowledge of elementary technical subjects, and lastly for giving teachers some kind of direction as to the best method of teaching special and unfamiliar subjects. There ought of course to be also some organisa- tion for training general teachers of secondary schools, hut this is a matter which can hardly he dealt with comprehensively until the passage of a Secondary Education Act. The Maria Grey Training College and Bedford College are doing something to train women teachers for secondary schools, but hardly anything is being done for men. Setting this important matter aside for the moment, let us see how far the tliree wants enumerated above are met at present in London. (1) The first want is hardly met at all. Hardly any institution is attempting systematically to train practical men to be teachers. The result is seen in the comparative stagnation of practical trade classes compared with the more general classes held by teachers. That the want is keenly felt is acknowledged all round. “He understands his subject, but he cannot teach” is the constantly repeated complaint of students with regard to practical instructors. It is also to be pointed out that the difficulty is likely to increase. Hitherto practical classes in London have been on a very small scale, and conducted by a very few practical men of exceptional merit. For example, until the opening of the Borough-road Institute, a few weeks ago, all the teaching of brick- cutting that was being done in London was in charge of a single instructor. It need hardly be said that with the expansion of the work of these classes the “ margin of efficiency ” of their teachers must fall unless steps he taken to train a supply. An effort in this direction has been made in connection with the Durham College of Science at Newcastle, in the case of plumbers, and a similar experiment would be well worth making in London. A small number of capable workmen in each of a few important trades, who have already gone through a theoretical course of teaching, should be selected to attend demonstration lessons given jointly by a practical expert and a master of method, with a view to be afterwards employed in their turn as instructors. The experiment should be carefully tried on a small scale at first.! *T have come across ni.any examples illustrating this statement while engaged in this inquiry. In one case a bricklayer liad formed a strong opinion as to the futility of technical classes through attending a course of building construction given by a teacher who made practical mistakes. In another case a colour-maker came to the same conclusion through going to an “unpractical” course on “oils and varnishes.” The practical man’s distrust of theory, which is the greatest obstacle to improved training, bas, I fear, been partly induced artificial!}' by the blunders of unpractical technical teachers. t Since this was written 1 hear that a class is already being held to train practical bricklayers to teach. Another is contcm|)latcd for carpenters in another institution. 17 (•2) Provision already exists in London for the instru,ction of trained teachers in special subjects, and if the proposals of this scheme be adopted such provision will be further extended and improved. So far as the classes merely give instruction in the various subjects, and not in the art or methods of teaching, they are best treated as ordinary Technical Classes, as they are in no real sense “ training classes.” Any grant given for such classes will apply to teachers as well as to other students, and beyond this no special encouragement is necessary. (3) Classes for the instruction of teachers in methods of teaching special subjects come under another category. Such classes are those hitherto held by the School Board, the City and Guilds Institute, the Whitechapel Craft School, and other institutions in science, art or manual training, and the teachers’ classes in cookery held by the National Training School of Cookery. The most important point to be kept in view in dealing with training classes of this kind is that what is wanted is improvement of quality rather than increase of quantity! It is little or no gain from , a public point of view to multiply classes which will turn out numbers of certificated but half-trained teachers, whereas the value even of a small supply of really first-rate teachers is incalculable. In the recommendations made below with regard to the training of teachers in domestic subjects and manual instruction, this point has been kept in view, and it is proposed that grants with respect to such training classes shall be confined to teachers selected by entrance examination or by some other test as capable of profiting by the class, and who pass through a course of training both satisfactory in character and adequate in length. The case with regard to training classes or lectures in the art of science or drawing teaching is somewhat different, since nearly all teachers have now to teach drawing, and hence any improvement in their capacity for the work is a public advantage. The same is true to a smaller extent with science teaching. The more teachers, therefore, who go through a “ pedagogic ” course in these subjects- (or. at least in drawing) the better, and training classes should therefore be open without restriction. But they must be real training classes, aiming at the improvement of teaching methods, Again there are certain branches of technical knowledge (e.g., some parts of commercial education) which at present can be best acquired abroad. In such cases it may be the best policy on the part of the Council to pay the cost of sending a few selected teachers to Continental institutions ' for a certain period. This has been done to a considerable extent by some of the provincial Town and County Councils. These seem to be the general principles which should guide us in making or aiding out of County. . Council funds provision for the training of teachers. Most of the detailed proposals founded on these principles are best given under the heads of the various subjects. Art, Science, Technology, Manual Instruction, Commercial subjects and Household Economy. One branch however of ti'aining, not dealt with under any of those heads, is the training of “ Kindergarten ” teachers, with a view to the improvement of the teaching of young children along the lines laid down by Froebel and others. The teaching of the Kindergarten is the foundation of future technical training, and hence its improvement through the training of teachers is well worthy of the attention of the County Council. There is at present a movement for the establishment of a Froebel Training College in London, which, under suitable conditions, the County Council might assist. I make no specific suggestion as to amount of grant for this purpose, since the scheme has hardly yet taken final shape. ./I • f [ 3 ] 18 VIL— THE TEACHING OF ART IN LONDON.* I. — General Principles. The teaching of art, not only of drawing and painting (the sense in which these terms are generally used) but in its various modes of expression in different materials and under different conditions, must occupy a prominent place in any scheme of organisation of technical education in a great city like Loudon. In fact art education in its broadest sense is technical education from the point of view of many industries and handicrafts ; and the teaching of the art school should be the centre from which the teaching of these handicrafts radiates and from which they draw their inspiration. The problem of the organisation of art teaching is one of the hardest with which the County Council will have to deal ; but this problem once solved, the development of the special sides of such teaching bearing specifically on particular crafts will be comparatively easy. Round the teaching of art, its proper scope and object, its method, its limitations, its very meaning, controversies have long raged. It need not surprise us that there should be more difi’erence of judgment as to the right training of the emotional faculties (which is the essence of art teaching) than in the case of the purely intellectual faculties which are concerned with science. It will, indeed, be found that most of the controversies arise out of the mistaken attempt to treat matters so fundamentally different as if they w'ere on the same plane and followed the same laws. For example, following the division of science into “ pure ” and “ applied,” an attempt is some- times made to divide art in a similar way, drawing and the pictorial arts being assumed to be “ pure,” while the working out of designs in wood, clay, metal, leather, or stone is “applied.” Starting from this misconception, we have authorities recommending that “ pure ” art only should be taught in the art school, leaving the various “applications” to be acquired in the workshop. The classification, however, is a false one, for the embodiment of art in paint and canvas, or chalk and paper is as much an “application” as its expression in metal or w'ood. “Pure art,” if it has any meaning, could only mean the philosophy of aesthetics or the theoretical teaching of such general principles as can be inferred from a study of the work of the great masters. It is of course a real question of considerable educational interest to decide what and how many “ applications’’ or modes of art expression shall be introduced to a student at the school of art, and this question has been solved differently by different nations and by different masters within the same nations. Speaking generally, the French and English method is to confine a student to the simpler and more abstract applications, such as drawing, painting, and modelling, while in Germany the range of applications to which the students of the Kunstgewerbe-Schule are introduced is much wider. But in Paris the Ecole Bernard Palissy teaches decorative work in wood, marble, and porcelain, while another well known municipal school, the Ecole Germaiii-Pilon, confines its pupils rigidly to drawing, painting, and modelling in clay. The question, however, between these methods is entirely an educational one, and in no way implies that one method is “purer” than another.! Another debated question is that of the teaching of design. Some deny that design can be taught at all; others think that it must follow a long preliminary course of drawing and copying. Those however who deny' the possibility of teaching design really mean merely to deny that it can be taught catccheticaUy, or by rule as a special “ subject.” What they say is true, but is of much wider application than to the teaching of design, being in fact true of nearly the whole range of education. On the other liand, there is every reason to believe that the faculty of design — i.e., of the harmonious grouping of lines, masses and colours, is far more widely diffused than is usually supposed, and that it may be developed and cultivated by study and exercise in lines, masses and colours, just as any other faculty may be trained. Here, as in all true education, the process is a drawing out not a cramming in. The isolation of design as a separate “subject” and the postponement of its teaching until the latest stage of instruction produces deplorable results. The imaginative powers of the pupil, instead of being developed and stimulated, are systematically sacrificed to the mere mechanical power of copying, and an attempt is then made to re-introduce to a few pupils as a new “subject” what ought to be the central inspiring idea of the entire course. The result is only too obvious throughout our schools of art. The fallacious distinction between “pure” and “applied” art has sometimes led to another confusion of ideas. It is supposed that the teaching of drawing, painting and modelling from nature, oasts, or the life, which occupies so prominent a position in our schools of art is the right preparation for pictorial art, but not for the decorative handicrafts. Though, however, it is a great advantage to students to have the opportunity in the school of art of practically carrying out designs in some material other than paper or canvas (an advantage indeed so great that we recommend that every school of art should teach some process of this kind), it is a great mistake to suppose that the teaching of drawing, painting and modelling can be dispensed with or curtailed. To use the words of M. Legros — “ no great designer ever lived who could not draw the figure.”! The working out of design in its appropriate material must spring out of, and not replace, the ordinary teaching of the art school. The misconception here alluded to has resulted in classes for teaching the so-called artistic handicrafts quite apart from the teaching of drawing and design, i.e., students who are not required to ♦ T have had the very great advantage of the lielp of Mr. Edward E,. Taylor, head master of the Birmingham Municijjal School of Art, in the preparation of this section of the report. Mr. Taylor, whose work in Birming- ham is the best example in England of what can be done in the way of art teaching under proper conditions, has not only visited a large number of the London art schools and classes with me, but has also revised this section of the report itself, and concurs in the recommendations therein contained. t The divergence in method between two Parisian Schools of Art, both managed by the municipality, is interesting as an example of the extent to which even so bureaucratic a nation as the French may admit and encourage variety of method in their schools. Under a system of control by means of uniform examinations this variety is almost unknown in London. X This is unite another thing to maintaining that the student cannot begin to learn to design until he is an ade2)t at drawing the figure. 19 possess any power of drawing or design, and withont any concurrent teaching in art are taught to “ apply ” to material designs bought for the purpose or produced by the instructor. This however is rather trade instruction than the teaching of art. Having thus cleared the ground, w'e may now proceed to an examination of the various public agencies which supply art teaching in London. II. — Schools of Art. § 1. Classification. — The London schools which give the more advanced and systematic art instruction may be classed under two heads : (1) certain special schools of pictorial or technical art, and (2) the “ schools of art” in connection with the Science and Art Department.* (1.) Special schools. — The chief of the former or special schools are the schools of the Royal Academy, the Slade School at University College, the South London Technical Art School, and the Art Section of Finsbury Technical College under the City and Guilds Institute. The work of these schools is most important, though for various reasons none of them are likely to be applicants for County Council grants. Art scholarships, however, if established by the Council as recommended below', should unquestionably be tenal)le at the two art schools of the City and Guilds Insti- tute, and probably at the Slade School. The details of attendance, classes, &c., at these schools are fully given in the appendices. Incidentally, their work w'ill be touched on in connection wuth that of schools of art in general. There are also a few' schools of a more popular character working out experiments in particular lines of art teaching, such as the School of Handicraft, Mile-end-road, and the Whitechapel Craft School. (2.) The Government Schools of Art" twenty in number in London, in addition to the National Art Training School. Five of these, viz., the Polytechnic School of Art, the People’s Palace School of Art, the Birkbeck Institution School of Art, the Goldsmiths’ Institute School of Art at New- cross, and the new Borough-road Polytechnic School of Aid, are the art departments of large technical institutes. Another, the Onslow College School of Art, Chelsea, is w’orking in conjunction with the proposed South-w'est Polytechnic, in which it w'ill shortly be absorbed. One (in connection with the International College, Hampstead), appears to be too much of a private proht undertaking to come within the purview of the County Council. There remain the following schools of art in various parts of London — Westminster (Royal Archi- tectural Museum). Lambeth. Clapham. Blackheath (Lee and Lewis- ham). St. Martin's. Clapton and Stamford-hill. Saffron-hill. Putney. St. Thomas Charterhouse. North London (Kingsland). Camden. Bloomsbury (Royal Female School of Art) . Hyde-park and Bayswater. Of these again, those at St. Thomas Charterhouse and Saffron-hill are almost entirely occupied with the teaching of elementary school teachers. § 3. Constitution and Organisation of a School of Art. — A school of art differs from an ordinary art class or collection of art classes in being a permanent institution in rooms specially and exclusively devoted to art teaching under the direction of an “ art master,” i.e., a teacher holding the “ art master’s certificate ” of the Science and Art Department, which demands higher qualifications than the “ art class teacher’s certificate.” The school must hold day-classes, and classes for artizans on at least three evenings a week, during forty w'eeks in the year,t and there is generally a clearly defined course including the more advanced subjects. Schools of Art (and indeed all art and science classes in connection with the Department) must be under a responsible Committee of management. J Hitherto, however, these Committees have mostly been passive, and many of the London Schools of Art have been hitherto virtually farmed to the teachers, w'ho pay all expenses and take all fees and grants. It is only fair, however, to the teachers to state the conditions which have led to the present state of things. Originally art masters were civil servants, paid direct by the Department. This system w'as follow'ed by their engagement by a local committee, the Science and Art Department paying to the master, in addition to his income from the school, a fixed sum annually, according to the number of his certificates in art. Under the present system payments to the teachers are w'ithdrawn, and payments on the results of personal examinations and of works done by students are made to the local Committees. The practical working of this system in Imndon is that the master is paid by a certain proportion of the fees and of the payments on results, the Committee retaining the remainder for expenses of rent, cleaning, examples, &c., or in some cases the w’hole risk is thrown upon the master, all the fees and payments on results being paid over to him, out of which he pays all expenses. § 3. Proposed prohibition of “farming ” of Schools of Art. — Though this explains the present situation, the “ farming ” system is so thoroughly bad, both in its effects on the management of the schools and the remuneration and conditions of tenure of the masters, that the County Council would be well advised to insist on its abolition as a condition of assisting the schools. It is not too much to say that there are art masters in London capable of doing excellent work if employed under proper conditions and freed from the harassing anxiety of making their schools pay, but who at present appear thoroughly disheartened by the precarious struggle in which they are engaged. The ‘'farming” system is fatal to local co-operation, for a committee with neither funds, real responsibility, nor * The training of Architects is essentially a part of art teaching, but for convenience of classification, it is dealt with under the head of higher education (p. 76). t See paragraph 6 on page 63 of Directory of Science and Art Department. + See paragraphs 2 and 3 on page 62 of Directory. 20 real power, will not take an active part in w’orking up a school. On the other hand, the teacher bred in the former traditions of the Science and Art Department, regards his committee as merely consultative, and is often regarded by them as possessing a virtual freehold in the school. It is he, not they, who takes the risks, and the power of dismissal, though nominally theirs, is, as a fact, never exercised. All this is the natural result of the course of circumstances under which the Schools of Art have grown up, but if they are now' to be developed by the County Council as the crown of public art teaching in London, the County Council has a right to demand a change. The committees must assume real responsibility, the masters must be paid by salary,* and not depend on the grants which they earn ; the necessary casts, examples, furniture and equipment, now sometimes the property of the master, must be transferred under equitable conditions to the school committee and the rooms must also be under their complete and unfettered control. There must be a clear understanding that the master holds his office from, and is responsible to, the Committee. § 4. The Work of the London Schools of Art. — The District Schools of Art contain about 5,000 students. The number of entries for the principal “groups ” of subjects last year were as follow's : — On Register, t A. Drawing ... ... ... ... ... 3,000 B. Architectural Drawing... ... ... ... 160 C. Design ... ... ... ... ... 230 D. Painting ... ... ... ... ... 740 E. Figure drawing and painting ... ... ... 1,433 F. Modelling ... ... ... ... ... 259 The ages of the students cover a wide range, from children under 12 to adults; about 18 percent, are under 16. About three-tifths of the total number are evening students. In appendix C are given detailed tables showing the ages and attendances of students in each subject at each school of art, on which the above figures are based. The Eoyal Female School of Art at Bloomsbury is confined to women and girls. Most however of the schools are open to both sexes alike. At the head of the district schools of art stands the Westminster Architectural Museum School with over 400 students, 366 of whom are studying from the life, a large proportion ’being already engaged as draughtsmen, black-and-white designers, modellers, and architects or architects’ pupils. The Polytechnic School of Art, with 800 students, is the largest so far as the total number of individual students is concerned, but its work is of course more elementary. The present comparative insignificance of some of the smaller schools is no real index of the work which they may be capable of doing, since it may only be w'ant of funds that cramps their operations. Hence it wmuld be a great mistake to distribute aid merely in proportion to the existing work of each school and for this reason part of such aid (say, ^100 a year) should be given as a fixed sum to each recognised school of art, with a capitation fee added as recommended hereafter. There is another reason for this proposal. One of the chief defects which strikes the observer in the present London schools of art is their inferiority to the best foreign and provincial schools in that dignity and “ status ” which can only come from the sense of a secure and stable position. They almost all appear as small struggling concerns, in which half the energy of the masters is absorbed in questions of ways and means. A small fixed grant may do far more to raise the position of such schools and to set free the best energies of the teachers than even a larger payment in a more precarious form. § 5. Class of students of Schools of Art. — When considering the relation of the schools of art to London industry, it is most important to know precisely the class of students who at present attend them. For this jDurpose the returns given in appendix E have been compiled. From those tables may be seen at once the occupations of all students on the register of each group of subjects in every art school in London. The tables themselves include the various special schools and art classes besides the district schools of art. These tables require a word or two of explanation. Under the head of “ unoccupied or unspecified ” are included many day students and young evening students, who doubtless intend to follow some occupation on which the teaching of the art school has a bearing. Others, but few, merely attend as an amusement (though even in this case it is to be remembered that the improvement of the standard of the consumer is a matter of public interest no less than the training of the producer). Over 20 per cent, of the students appear to be teachers or preparing to .teach. This number is unnaturally swollen just now, in consequence of the recent introduction of compulsory drawing into our elementary schools. When the first rush for the Elementary Art Teachers’ certificate has spent itself, the proportion of teachers studying in schools of art will probably fall. §7. Fees of Schools of Art. — The day fees of London schools of art, entitling to four or five days’ attendance per w'eek and the full amount of instruction, range from about I;3 to ^6 or more for a session of five months. The evening classes as a rule charge for three to five evenings a week 10s. to £1 Is. or more, sometimes with an additional entrance fee, artisans, teachers, and children being sometimes admitted at a lower fee. In the Polytechnic institutes the fees are at about the same level as far as day classes are concerned, but the evening classes are cheaper. It need hardly be said that the evening work of the ordinary schools of art is often much hampered by the necessity of charging so high a fee. In the Polytechnics the case of course is different. Armed with greater resources from endow- ments or subscriptions, with more active committees, and aiming more directly at the training of artisans, these institutes are able to make a special feature of these cheap evening classes. The only way to * Or partly by .salary and partly by capitation fee. f It tnnst be remembered that many of these students are taking more than one subject. 21 vivify and develop these classes on a similar scale in the ordinary school of art is for the County Council to pay part at least of its grant in proportion to the number of students admitted at low rates (say a maximum of 5s. a term, for five nights in the week, or 6s. for three nights*). If the Council were to grant ill a head on all students admitted at these fees, who make more than a certain number (say 30) attendances at the school of two hours each in the session, the sphere of iniluence of schools of art in relation to London industries would probably be immensely widened. § 7. Defects and uumits of exislmr/ Schools of Art. — So far as relates to management, organi- sation, fees, &c., these w'ants have already been described. A-S regards the teaching, the most conspicuous weakness is the absence of adequate teaching of design and modelling, and for the most part of any attempt to develop particular applications of design to special manufactui-ing processes. («■) Desig‘11. — The total number of students in the District schools of art learning design is only about 250. In this matter London is far behind the provinces, and the display of London designs in the recent National Competition at South Kensington was on the whole extremely feeble. In some of the special schools of a more distinctively technical character, design has its proper place ; but as a rule, in the ordinary school of art it is either not taught at ail, or taught to a few students as a separate advanced subject, whereas it should be taught as a class subject to all students who have acquired a fair power in freehand and model di’awing. This system is already working with great success in the Birmingham Schools of Art, and there is nothing in the special conditions of London to make it inapplicable to all London schools of art, except their want of funds. In many cases the existing staff are competent to do the work, in others it will be easy to arrange for a special teacher. In every case therefore the County Council should insist on the teaching of design as part of the elementary course as a condition of its grant to schools of art. (h) Modelling’. — Next to the poverty of design in London schools the greatest weakness is in modelling and other form of relief work. Less than 300 students of schools of art appear to be learning modelling, while wood carving, and repousse metal work so far as they are taught at all, are almost entirely confined to special schools. In other words, practice in plastic and incised ornament is practically non-existent in most of the ordinary London art schools. In respect of modelling, as of design, there are exceptions to the rule, the most notable being the South London School of Technical Art,, with its well-known modelling classes. Of course M. Lanteri’s classes at the National Art Training School leave nothing to be desired, but this school, like that of the Royal Academ}’, can hardly be considered part of the general provision for London art education. Modelling, like design, should be efficiently taught in every school of art, as one of the conditions of County Council aid. (c) Handicraft. — There is teaching of chromolithography at the Royal Female School of Art, Bloomsbury ; of tapestry painting, fresco and sgraffito work, furniture making, and repousse metal work at the Finsbury Technical College; of wood-engraving and house -decoration at the South London School of Technical Art ; wood-carving and repousse metal-work are taught at the Polytechnic, the White- chapel Craft School, the People’s Palace, the Guild and School of Handicraft, and elsewhere. At some of the schools the handicraft teaching is closely associated with the teaching of drawing and design ; in others it is treated as a trade subject, and is practically isolated from the general work of the Art School. The most important remaining schools and classes for handicraft teaching are the various wood-carving schools, of which the largest is the School of Art Wood-carving at South Kensington. The most important wood-carving class for the trade is that held at the Institute of British Wood-carvers with the support of the Carpenters’ Company, where wood-carving is taught in close connection with modelling and drawing. There is a caiwing class for amateurs also endowed by the Carpenters’ Company at King’s College; but here, as at the South Kensington School,! the teaching of drawing and design is not insisted upon. There is at present no provision for systematically teaching drawing or design in the Royal School of Art Needlework. Some handicraft classes are held by voluntary teachers in connection with the Home Arts and Industries Association. To make all these classes educational and of value in raising the industries, it is essential that the students shall continue to study drawing (or drawing and modelling) and design while pursuing their technical studies ; that they should work from their own sketches or w’orking drawings ; and that opportunity and guidance should be afforded for them so far as is practicable to carry out as part of their course some of their own designs. County Council recognition and aid of handicraft teaching should depend on these conditions being fulfilled. In schools of art, on the other hand, where no handicrafts are taught at present, it is desirable that exercise in at least one handicraft should be provided for, so that students who have obtained a fail- power in design may have the valuable study obtained from carrying out some of their designs in the material for which it is intended. (d) Technical Art Museums - -Another want of London schools of art is illustrative museums of examples of artistic work. The specimens for such museums, while being good examples of ornament, should be mainly such as will show the artistic expression which can be obtained by the simpler forms of technique, avoiding those examples in which there is a straining after effects not characteristic of the material. J * The fees for life classes mip;ht be higher. See below, p. 23. t Students, however, at the School of Art wood-carving at South Kensington, may join certain classes at the National Art Training School at reduced fees. j; For instance, in woodwork, examples of work with the V-tool, chip-carving, cutting away the ground only (see Scandinavian carving, strap-work, &c.;, with graduated specimens in which the modelling of varieties of relief is gradually developed. Casts of stone, wood and ivory carving, repousse work, cast, wrought and chiselled iron, leather work and gesso work can be obtained at little expense. For jewellery some of the peasant jewellery of Italy, &c., will serve, supplemented by photo and chromo-lithographs of gold and silversmiths’ woT-k. As ex- amples in pottery, oriental and some of the later developments of English and continental wares can be obtained, .showing similar graduations of technique, while wood cutting, paper hanging, stencilling. lithopp-a])hy, lace and other needlework can be easily illustrated, and all the sections might be further illustrated by portfolios of photographs and other reproductions which are now easily procurable (including an architectural scries). 22 Such a museum mi^lit be contained in one or two wall cases and half a dozen frames, the examples in which could be changed say once a month from the portfolios. ie) Scholarships- — Finally there is the lack of an adequate scholarship system to feed the schools of art, especially the day classes, with the stiidents most capable of benefiting by them. At present their students can compete with all the schools of art in the United Kingdom for the following scholarships — 16 National Scholarships of 1150 for two years (eight in each year) tenable at the National Art Training School. 30 Royal Exhibitions of i‘50 for three years (10 in each year) tenable at the National Art Training School. 60 Local Scholarships of A“20 for three years (20 each year) tenable at any school of art which provides for a thorough course of study, day and evening. Free admissions for one year are also offered to such students as pass first class in the advanced stage in art or on whose works executed during the year a payment of £2 is made. The Royal Exhibitions and Local Scholarships were awarded for the first time in August, 1892. Clearly a much more comprehensive scheme of scholarships than this is required to meet the wants of London. After careful consideration and comparison with what is done in other large centres, the following scale of scholarships is suggested for the first year — {a) One hundred scholarships of £5 a year, for two years, open to all London competitors under 18 years of age, tenable at any school of art recognised in this scheme. (5) Twenty scholarships of £20 a year, for two years, renewable for a third year, limited to those under the age of 18 employed in a trade requiring artistic handicraft. (c) Twenty scholarships of £20 each, for two years, open to those who are under 21 and have attended at least one session at a London school of art. (d) One or more scholarships of £50 a year, open under special conditions. Summary of recommendations as to Schools of Art. 1. Every School of Art in order to he recognised as a “ Technical Art School ” by the County Council must either comply with the conditions of the Science and Art Department as regards Schools of Art, or satisfy the County Council that it provides at least equal facilities for the systematic study of art. It must also — (ft) Teach design as part of the regular course of the school ; (5) Teach modelling, and before the end of the first year must be prepared to — (c) Teach the application of design to at least one manufacturing process, such as Wood-carving and cutting. Repousse metal work. Wrought iron work. Chasing, Engraving, Niello work. Lithography, Leather W'ork, Pottery, enamel, or glass work, Art needlework, embroidery, lace, &c.. Paper staining, tapestry weaving or painting. Fresco, sgraffito, stencil work, &c., Rookbiuding, Gesso work. Etching, Book Illustration for process, &c. 2. In the case of such Technical Art Schools as receive aid from the County Council, the following conditions must also be complied with — (d) The school must be managed by a responsible committee, who take all the receipts and pay the masters by salary or partly by salary and partly by fees, but not by a proportion of the grant earned. The committee to have full control over rooms, plant and equipment, and the masters to hold their appointments from them. (e) The school must be open at all times to inspection by representatives of the County Council. (/) The head master and members of the staff must be prepared, for the payment of a reasonalde fee, to supervise or inspect, on behalf of the County Council, the teaching of art in classes in their neighbourhood. 3. All Technical Art Schools should be eligible to receive County Art Scholars (see above), and their pupils should be eligible to compete for County Art Exhibitions, except the holders of scholar- ships at the National Art Training School. 4. The following Schools of Art, viz. — The Polytechnic School of Art, The Borough-road Institute School of Art, The Birkbeck Institution School of Art, should be dealt with as part of the respective Polytechnics, and the grant to them to be included in the general grant to Polytechnics provided for below ; that grant to be subject to a deduction in case of non-fulfilment of the conditions specified above. 5. The remaining “ Technical Art Schools ” to receive — (a) A fixed annual grant of TIOO. (b) An annual grant of AT a head on all art students who are admitted for three terms in the year at a low fee (say not exceeding 5s. a term for five nights a week, or three nights a week at a fee not exceeding 4s. a term), and who make not less than 30 attendances in the session. N.B. — The fees for the life class might be 10s. and 7s. 6d. instead of 5s. and 4s. respectively without disentitling to grant. (c) An additional grant of A1 a head on all students who attend more than twenty times for two hours at the handicraft classes specified above, on condition that the teaching of these handicrafts is closely associated with the teaching of drawing and design, and is carried on with proper equipment and by efficient instructors. (d) The permanent loan (withdrawable however on six months’ notice) of a collection of examples of artistic handicraft. N.B. — This loan to be offered also to the Polytechnic Schools of Art. (e) A grant towards purchase of examples and apparatus, the County Council to retain a lien on objects so purchased. 6. The grants to Technical Art Schools might of course cease or be reduced at any time. The Council may require if it think fit, as a condition of the grant continuing, that such a school shall move its situation, or amalgamate or affiliate with some other institution, such as a Polytechnic, or be taken over by the County Council.

Number and Classification. — Omitting the schools of art, there appear to be altogether some 110 art classes connected with the Science and Art Department, viz., 16 carried on in evening continuation schools under the School Board ; 20 in day schools under the School Board ; 10 in public secondary schools; 12 in voluntary elementary schools, either day or evening ; 14 in pupil teachers’ centres ; and the remainder in connection with educational institutes, or conducted as independent art classes under a Science and Art Committee, held in schoolrooms, halls or other premises.* There are a few evening drawing classes unconnected with the department, and some of the special day classes for art instruction established by the School Board, which are doing important work, are not in connection with South Kensington. All this is in addition to the ordinary teaching of elementary drawing which is now compulsory in elementary schools for boys, and which lies outside the scope of this report, except as regards the training of elementary teachers to carry on the work. § 2. School Board Day Classes. — The School Board employ two special drawing instruc- tors,” to supervise the teaching of drawing throughout the day schools of the Board. One of these takes the whole of London south of the Thames and the School Board districts of Westminster and the City, the other the whole of the rest of London. In various districts of London the School Board has started classes in connection with selected Board schools for the special art instruction of picked children drawn chiefly, but not exclusively, from the upper and “ ex-seventh ” standards. On the south side of the river these classes are “ centres ” ; being open to a group of neighbouring schools. There are six of these centres in south London, viz., at Stanley-street (New-cross), Monnow-road (Bermondsey), Cobourg-road, Burrage-grove, Shillington-street and Great Andrew-street, open from one day to three mornings or afternoons a week, and attended by about 430 children (370 boys and 60 girls). The centres are taught by special teachers, and there are also some other schools on the south side where the drawing teachers have some special qualifications in drawing, and hold more advanced classes for selected pupils. On the north side of the Thames the system of special classes is not quite the same. There are indeed a few centres, but in most cases the special instructor’s class is confined to boys and girls from one school only. There are ten classes taught by special instructors, viz., Beethoven-street, Kilburn- lane, Sherbrooke-road, William-street, Burghley-road, Medburn-street, Carlton-road, The Whittington- Saffron-hill and Thomas-street. In some schools (e.g, Sherbrooke-road, Fulham) there is a large class of “ ex-standard ” children receiving special art instruction ; in others, especially in poorer districts, the members of the special classes are mostly “ standard ” children. The instruction includes drawing from models and casts, colour design and elementary clay modelling ; but all these branches are not taken at all the special classes. In London north of the Thames there are about 700 children receiving art teaching from special instructors in day schools of the Board. Most of the special classes are held in specially constructed “ art ” rooms, and every Board school now built includes such a room. Hence there are a great many art rooms built, and partly furnished, which have not yet been used for the purpose for which they were designed. In fact, the work of special art-teaching for selected Board school children is yet in its infancy, and is capable of great development. ♦ The above numbers are approximate only, for the number of each kind of class changes from year to year. 24 So far as it is concerned with “ standard children” all this teaching is of course outside the scope of operations of the County Council ; hut should any financial aid be desired by the School Board for the ex-standard work, the County Council could not do better than comply with the request, since special classes such as those which are now working under considerable difficulties might, if developed, be the very best foundation for higher technical education, and the scholars trained in them furnish the best material to feed the Council’s Technical Schools of Art. Such grant, however, should be given as part of the aid given to higher grade schools, (see p. 67), and not allotted to special subjects. The County Council might also render aid in the matter of the special training of teachers of drawing both for Board and Voluntary schools — a function which in the oninion of the Local Government Board is outside the pow’er of the School Board. This subject is dealt with below (p. 25). § 3. School Board Evening Art Classes. — The number and extent of these classes for last shown by the following (a) Drawing — table — Name of School.

Those marked * are taught by special instructors, the rest by the ordinary teacher of the school. The total average attendance is about 300. There are five wood-carving classes held in connection with the Board’s evening schools, with the aid of the Recreative Evening Schools Association, with an attendance of about 90 to 100. Elementary drawing is also taught in many of the other evening schools of the Board. The quality of the art teaching given in these classes is naturally very uneven, and there is a great field not yet covered. But the School Board is probably developing its evening work as fast as the circumstances of the case permit; and under existing conditions of irregular employment, long hours of work and the attractions of the streets, the organisation of elementary evening classes for boys and girls who have just left school is an uphill task. In any case such classes are both recognised by the Education Department, and proved by experience to be a part of elementary education, and though the County Council has power to assist them, it will do well to leave their organisation in the hands of the School Board. Should the School Board desire a grant to enable them to develop the work, the Council will doubtless accede to the request. § 4. Art classes in voluntary schools. — Since, however, the Board has no power to contribute to classes not under its management, there may be a claim on the County Council to aid the art teaching carried on in elementary evening schools under voluntary management. There is at present very little of such teaching, and from the number of pupils receiving drawing teaching, must be deducted all who are receiving instruction in the standards, before we arrive at the number on whose account aid may be given by the Council. In cases where the Council is satisfied of the qualifications of the instructor, the equipment of the class, and the character of the teaching, I recommend that a capitation grant be given on the ex-standard pupils similar to that proposed below for art classes con- nected with educational institutes, and that the head-master of the nearest Technical School of Art be requested to inspect and report periodically on the character of the work. Art classes in day elementary schools must all be treated as part of the general school curri- culum. They should be inspected by the head master of the nearest Technical Art School, but the grant made to them should be included in the general grant recommended for higher grade schools (p. 68). § 5. Art Classes for older students . — There remain a certain number of art classes for older j)upils, of which some 8 or 10 (e.g., those held at the Bow and Bromley Institute, Working Men’s College, Westminster Technical Institute, Westbourne Park Institute, Woolwich Polytechnic, Ac.,) may be regarded as parts of educational institutes for older pupils, and the remainder are more or less isolated classes chiefly held for teachers. The best mode of dealing with these classes is not easy to determine. Tbe grouping of them as branches of the nearest Technical Art School, or at least the establish- ment of a working agreement among them so as not unduly to overlap or compete with it or with each other, is an object to be kept steadily in view. At the present stage, however, there is some danger lest the laying down of a cut-and-dried scheme of afliliation may be premature and tend to hamper some of the work which it is desired to encourage. If the Council accepts the proposals made in a later section (see p. 83) for establishing an “Intelligence Bureau,” for making widely known the w'ork of technical classes aided or recognised by it, the art teaching of all recognized classes in a district would naturally be advertised side by side on the same bills, and this in itself would prove a powerful induce- ment to them to arrive at a mutual understanding as to the scope of the teaching to be carried on at each centre. Beyond this it is not proposed to go for the present in the matter of insisting on affiliation in the case of the art classes which are part and parcel of technical institutes. The remaining sporadic classes which are no part of a larger institute nor branches of a Technical School of Art, nor managed by the School Board, nor by other bodies of managers of elementary schools, must for the present be left to the support of the Science and Art Department, unless there be anything special in their circumstances to warrant the County Council in supporting them (e.g., a class may be making a valuable experiment in methods of technical art teaching, and be precluded by this very fact from earning grant from the Science and Art Department). § 6. Proposed aid to Art Classes . — A fair scale of grant for art classes affiliated to schools of art, or which form part of educational institutes, or are conducted by managers of elementary schools (subject to restrictions named above) is 7s. 6d. a head, on all students who make more than 30 attendances, of two hours each, on the County Council being satisfied through inspection of the efficiency and adequate equipment of the class. Besides this grant the County Council would do well, in view of the recent stoppage of the Science and Art Department’s grants for apparatus, to make grants or loans of models, casts, reproductions, &c., to art classes for teaching purposes. The amount of models placed at the disposal of each art class could depend entirely on the circumstances of each case, the models, &c., not being alienated, but remaining the property of the Council. The cost of supplementing in this way the defective equipment of recognised art classes already at work would not amount to more than £500, and this would be to some extent, of the nature of capital expenditure. IV. — The Tr.mning of Art Te.vchers. § 1. The leant of provision for training in method . — There is no provision in London, so far as I know, for the training of teachers in the difficult art of drawing-teaching. The National Art Training School (which is an Imperial rather than a London institution) teaches art to intending art masters and mistresses, but gives them little systematic training in methods of teaching. How to teach a class collectively, how best to interweave the teaching of design with the ordinary teaching of drawing — the whole ‘‘pedagogic ” side in fact of art-teacliing is far from being fully developed at South Kensin^on. With the National Art Training School itself the County Council is not of course directly concerned but unfortunately the same defect is found throughout nearly all the institutions which profess to train teachers in drawing. There is no training in dvix\Cmg-t caching in the pupil-teachers’ centres under the School Board or under voluntary management, nor in any of the many agencies {e.g., St. Thomas, Charterhouse, Saffron-hill School of Art, the Hackney Institution, and so forth) which lay themselves out to teach drawing to teachers with a view of getting their elementary art teaching certificates. In fact the only real “ normal ” classes in drawing hitherto held in London (so far as I know) have been the classes for board teachers held by the special drawing instructors of the London School Board. The Board has unfortunately been surcharged the cost of these last mentioned classes, and they have therefore been discontinued. I speak of them therefore from hearsay only, as I have been unable to visit them. They appear however to have aimed directly at the improvement of teachers in the art of teaching, not at the gaining of the teacher’s certificate. This is the kind of class very sorely wanted in London. The certificates may be left to take care of themselves, for the existing Schools of Art and Art Classes are abundantly sufficient for the purpose. But the improvement of methods of teaching, the encouragement of the study of the subject from the educational point of view in its relation to the growing minds of children on the one hand and to the needs of handicraft on the other, is a matter which will alw’ays be of importance, and which almost more than any other department of art teaching merits the encouragement of the County Council. Lectures and classes on these lines will never pay, and Avill appeal only to that small minority of teachers who care for art teaching for its own sake. But it is through this small minority of teachers that all improvements in teaching must be worked out. Should the School Board desire to resume the teachers’ classes formerly held by the drawing instructors, the County Council will doubtless enable them to do so. But there is also a field for the Council itself to cover, viz., the training of art teachers for secondary and technical schools as well as those engaged in voluntary elementary schools. § 2. Proposed appointment of a “Normal Art Master ". — I recommend that a County Council “ normal art master ” be appointed, wLo has made a special study of the theory and practical methods of teaching, his duties being defined somewhat as follows — (1.) To hold “normal classes” or demonstrations in the methods and principles of art- teaching at (say) two centres, one north and one south of the river, on certain evenings of the w’eek, open free to teachers of elementary or higher schools. (2.) To visit the technical schools of art and secondary schools receiving aid from the County Council, and other schools if requested, to report on the art teaching and to advise the teachers as to its improvement. (3.) (Possibly) to give courses of day lectures on one or two days of the week, at such a centre as University College or elsewhere, on methods of art teaching, for the benefit of intending teachers. A first-rate man could probably be obtained for £500 a year, and the Council would get more real value out of his services than out of the same sum spent on any of the other branches of the scheme. One danger, however, must be carefully guarded against. The normal art master is so to speak to be the brain of the organisation of art teaching He is continually to be thinking out fresh developments of the subject, and informing himself as to improvements wdiich have been introduced abroad or in the provinces. It is therefore absolutely essential that he should not be clogged with too much detailed routine work. [41 26 Most of the special instructors of the School Board in art, cookery and other subjects, both in London and elsewhere, have been (perhaps inevitably) overloaded with routine work, and the result is that they do less than half t^e good they might do if freer towards improving the teaching of their respective subjects. It is most important that the same error should not he made by the County Council. V. — Summary of Kecommendations as to Art Classes. 1. That the Council he prepared to make a grant to the School Board, either for ex-standard children in their evening classes, or for the training of their teachers in the art of drawing teaching. 2. That any other Art Class wdiich receives aid must be either — (a) Part of a larger recognised educational institute, managed by a responsible committee, by whom the teachers are engaged and paid. (h) A branch class of a recognised technical art school. (c) Held in connection with an evening continuation school by the managers of an elementary school (in this case only ex-standard scholars will be recognised). {d) An exceptional class carrying out some special line of work or experiment. The special grant to class (d) should only be given for special lines of teaching which receive no grant from South Kensington, and should be determined on the merits of each case. The others, if efficiently conducted in suitable premises by duly qualified instructors, and charging a fee not exceeding 4s. a term for three nights per week to receive aid as follows : — (?) A capitation grant of 7s. 6d. per head for each student who makes more than 30 attendances of two hours each. (ii) The use of models, apparatus, &c., according to the circumstances and needs of each class, such models and apparatus to remain the property of the County Council. (Hi) An additional grant of AT a head for students making 20 or more attendances of two hours at a class for the teaching of handicraft of the nature specified above (p. 22). But this should only he given in cases where there is adequate equipment, and where the Council is satisfied that the handicraft teaching is thoroughly efficient and closely associated with the teaching of drawing and design. 3. That a normal art master be appointed to hold classes and give lectures to teachers on the methods and principles of art teaching, and also to visit and report on the work of secondary schools and technical schools of art, particularly in relation to methods of teaching. 4. That art classes aided by the Council be inspected by the head master of some Technical Art School. VI. — Estim.vted Cost of Scheme for the Promotion of Art Teaching. The total cost of carrying out the above recommendations as to the improvement of art teaching would not exceed the following — Capital expenditure (first year) on technical art museums, apparatus, models, &c., for art schools and classes ... Annual expenditure (first year) — Grants to schools of art... ... ... ... A5,000 - - ,, art classes ... ... ... ... 1,500 - - Salary of normal art master ... ... ... 500 - - Scholarships ... ... ... ... ... 1,500 - - Since a certain part of the capital expenditure will recur, as the demand for apparatus, &c., widens, the above scheme may be estimated to cost .A10,000 a year. It is to be understood that this is in addition to the grants to Polytechnics which will be made as a whole. A2,000 - - 8,500 If these proposals are accepted, the first steps will have been taken to create a systematic organization of art teaching. The scattered art classes, except so far as they are managed by the School Board, will he brought under the supervision of the Technical Art Schools, while these in turn and the secondary schools will he inspected by a first-rate authority on art teaching, who will also devote himself to improving the standard of such teaching by lectures and classes. The Technical Schools of Art, firmly established either as independent centres of art teaching or as departments of technical institutes, will be able to develop the teaching of design and its applications to various materials so as to touch the artistic handicrafts of London as they have never been touched before. By the scholarship scheme these schools will he fed yearlj" with the best material. The schools of art will thus he brought closely in touch with the popular school on the one hand, and practical industry on the other. Though, however, these proposals will do much for art teaching in London, they wdll by no means do all that is needed. We shall have a number of branch schools, hut no single centre of in- fluence to set the standard of art teaching. The National Art Training School can hardly occupy this position, partly because it exists not for London but for the United Kingdom, partly because it is far- away from the heart of London. Possibly some day the Council may be able to establish a great Municipal Art School of its own. The pressing need, however, is to develop existing centres, and the above proposals have been framed with this end in view. VIII.— THE TEACHING OF SCIENCE IN LONDON.* I.— General Principles. The teaching of science may be looked at from two points of view — as an instrument of mental training, and as a means of imparting knowledge applicable to industry. Eegarded as a department of technical education, the latter or “ professional ” point of view is the more important, but since a great part at least of science training must be given at school to pupils of school age, it is impossible to ignore its more purely educational side. (a) Science as a means of Education. — Of the faculties which science teaching calls into play and trains, viz., observation and inquiry, accurate measurement and manipulation, generalisation and abstract reasoning, fertility in invention, bold speculation and research, some are strongly developed in mere children, others remain almost dormant until a later age. The science teacher who has to deal with pupils of different ages must recognise this fact and mould his teaching accordingly, otherwise science teaching instead of being a powerful instrument for mental development, tends to become merely a form of memory work, while experimental lectures sink to the level of the conjurer’s performance. It is questionable if any science teaching requiring much power of generalisation or abstraction can really begin before the age of 13. The very ideas of force and energy, atoms and molecules lie quite outside a child’s range of comprehension, and all teaching which brings in such conceptions either misses its mark altogether or becomes mere cram. On the other hand, children are universal and restless observers, and simple teaching which starts from familiar objects and calls the observing faculties into play is invaluable as a part of elementary education. The educational value of this teaching is immensely increased if in addition to noting similarities and differences between the properties of common objects, the children learn to quantify and give exactness to their observations by actual weighing or measurement ; in other words, if elementary science be taught from the beginning practically as well as theoretically. Beyond such simple and concrete teaching as this the child of 11 or 12 should not go. More ambitious demonstrations may excite his curiosity and arouse his interest, but his understanding powers are left hopelessly behind. The pupil of 14 and upwards may of course be introduced to much more abstract reasoning and to a greater store of scientific facts. But throughout his school career it is never safe (unless perhaps he has a strongly developed mathematical faculty, and approaches science from the mathematical point of view) to divorce the teaching of the text book from the practical work of the laboratory. What a boy learns he must not only see done, but he must, as far as possible, do it himself. Froebel’s maxim, “ Learn by doing,” is especially applicable to science teaching, which indeed more than any other form of intellectual training maybe made a medium for the carrying out of Froebelian ideas in the later stages of school teaching. If this be a right description of the aim and method of science teaching as a part of education, it follows that the best sciences to begin with in the case of young children are those which (like botany) appeal most strongly to the faculties of observation ; that further, the teaching of physics and chemistry must at the beginning be confined to the simplest elements, and not attempt to cover any wide extent of ground, that it should be as concrete as possible and so far as practicable associated from the very beginning with simple practical work. By this is not meant that everyone should learn qualitative analysis (which for so many science teachers seems to stand for the whole of practical science) nor that the boys should make apparatus, but that they should perform the experiments which they see done themselves, and that no experiment should be done before them which they cannot have an opportunity of repeating. With a few brilliant exceptions, practical work of this kind is as yet almost entirely wanting in our schools. One of the School Board demonstrators, following the carefully thought-out course suggested by Professor Armstrong, is making a most praiseworthy effort to introduce right methods of elementary science teaching in a group of Board schools. In a few secondary schools, first-rate practical work is being done. But for the most part school laboratories are merely occupied with the teaching of qualitative analysis (“ test-tubing ” as it is sometimes called) which, though it may be made a valuable logical exercise, has very little connection with the chemistry taught in the class-room. This is chiefly due to the fact that the analysis of salts is the only part of practical chemistry or physics which can be easily examined by written papers. Hence it is on this that the chief stress is laid in the South Ken- sington Examinations, the Oxford and Cambridge Local Examinations, Ac. This is a conspicuous case of the injury wrought to education by the undue pressure of outside examinations. A good course of practical physics has greater educational possibilities for boys than practical chemistry, but at present such a course is almost entirely absent from London schools. (b) Science teaching in the 'Technical School . — Quite other than the above are the rules which should govern the teaching of science from the technical or professional point of view ; such teaching for example as may be given in the Polytechnics. Here the ideally logical system of science teaching must often be sacrificed in order to meet the necessities of those who come to the classes with deficient grounding, and perhaps with a strong practical interest in some particular application. The “practical” man must often be met half way, and confidence gained and interest aroused by teaching science, to use Professor Ayrton’s phrase “ through its applications.” Some branches of science are of value to the workmen, while others are required by the few who are foremen and managers. Thus chemistry for colour or chemical manufactui’es, for oil and soap works, for tanneries and glue works, and the like, is only wanted for a very few men in each chemical works, and they want to carry it to a fairly high pitch ; but the training of these few is of the highest importance, since on them hangs the fate of an entire industry. * In preparing thi.s section, I have had the advantage of the advice of Professor Rani.say, L’.ll.S., of University College, Professor Ayrton, F.R.S., of the Central Institution, and Mr. A. P. Laurie (Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge). 28 The chief obstacle to the scientific training of the managers of the numerous small chemical and colour works in East London and the tanneries in Bermondsey, is their rooted disbelief in the value of such training. A good example of this is afforded by a case met with during the course of this inquiry, of a London colour manufacturer who used to be able to make a particular colour better than it could be made abroad, and who now finds himself being edged out of the market by his foreign rivals because he is now unable to make the colour uniform in quality. He suspects that his re-agents must be impure, but being unable to test them, has to rely on the guarantee of the manufacturer by whom he is supplied ! He has a disbelief in the value of chemical teaching, dating from the time when he attended without profit some badly given theoretical lessons in the subject, and he has been confirmed in his sceptical attitude by hearing one of a course of lectures on a branch of applied chemistry in which he could detect practical blunders. Thus between a want of enough preliminary scientific training to make the manufacturer understand the value of science, and the slipshod character of some of the teaching which has hitherto passed for “ Technical Instruction,” a branch of colour manufacture has slipped into the hands of the Germans. This example illustrates three important factors in the problem of the teaching of applied science : first, the industrial disasters which may follow from its neglect ; secondly, the difficulty which “ practical ” men, who have never had a thorough scientific training at school, find in realising the importance of theory ; and thirdly, the ease with which classes held by teachers who are not masters of their subject may turn “ practical ” men against scientific method altogether, and so set back the ])rogress of technical education in this country. It is most important, indeed essential, that those wdio are in charge of the technical departments and laboratories of our polytechnics should be men who have either actually done original research or are at least well acquainted with the methods of such research. Those who have not these qualifications but have merely got up their subject, cannot lead students in that direction, and have not the versatility to meet and grapple with unfamiliar problems brought to their notice by their practical students. To quote Professor Kamsay, who has recently visited several of the more important centres for practical instruction in chemistry in London, “ Little good will be done to chemical industry by classes, the teaching of which is in the hands of men who have no idea of the nature of chemical investigation, and who are unable to lead their pupils to attack new problems. And it mirst be borne in mind that a chemist is of no use unless he has received such an education.” Professor Eamsay’s remarks are certainly confirmed by the analysis of the occupations of students of most of the existing chemical classes in London, who will be found for the most part to have no connection with chemical industry. To this point however we return later. II.“Existing- facts and proposals. The public agencies for the teaching of science in London, may he thus classified — (1) The higher colleges, including University and King’s Colleges, the Central Institution and the Finsbury Technical College of the City and Guilds Institute. (2) Secondary schools. (3) The Polytechnic Institutes. (4) Science classes under South Kensington, either independent or in connection with educational institutes. (5) The courses of scientific lectures given under the London University Extension Society. (6) Science classes in elementary, evening or day schools under the School Board or voluntary managers, either in connection with South Kensington or the Education Department. (7) Certain special science classes, unconnected with the department, carrying out special lines of work. The work of the higher colleges is dealt with as a part of higher education in London. Here the defects are defects of equipment, organisation and finance, rather than of teaching power. Indeed, many men with the highest names in the scientific world are engaged in teaching science in the higher London institutions. However much these men may differ among themselves as to details, we may trust that if provided with proper equipment, their classes fed with the best material in the way of students, and above all, if the establishment of a teaching university puts a truce to the internecine war on which the higher colleges at present waste their energies, these men will make higher science teaching in London if not as good as in Germany, at all events as good as in the present stage of development it is capable of being made in this country. The scientific work done in London secondary schools is described on p. 63 under the head of secondary education in London, and University Extension lectures are dealt with on p. 76. We have therefore here to deal with polytechnics and science classes, and day and evening elementary classes under the School Board or voluntary management. I. — Science Classes and Polytechnics with Laboratories for practical work. (1) Chemical teachiny. — There appears to be about 14 chemical laboratories open in the evening for instruction in London, viz., the laboratories at Finsbury College and King’s College, six laboratories connected with Polytechnic Institutes (Polytechnic, Birkbeck, City of London College, People’s Palace, Goldsmiths’ Institute, and Borough-road Institute,*) five (at Onslow College, St. Thomas Charterhouse, Toynbee Hall, Westbourne-park Institute, and Addey’s School, Deptford) connected with educational institutes or day schools utilised in the evening, and one (IMedburn-street) under the School Board. Of the above, Professor Meldola’s laboratory at the Finsbury College is of course doing first-rate work. The standard of teaching at the laboratories at King’s College is also high. Dr. Macnair, at * Only just o])cncd, and so not visited. 29 the People’s Palace, is also well known in the scientific world. Five of the other laboratories enumerated above have been visited by Professor Ramsay, who has also listened to the theoretical teaching. In a report of the present kind it is invidious to mention names of institutions, more especially when the fiiults pointed out are, to a large extent, due to conditions, financial and otherwise, over which the teachers have no control. Professor Ramsay fully acknowledges that much teaching given in the institutions criticised is good within the limits by which it is circumscribed, and having regard to the object at which it avowedly aims. The following are Professor Ramsay’s conclusions — “ The conclusions which I draw from inspection of these evening classes in chemistry may be “ thus summarised : — 1. “ The lecturers are men who have ‘got up’ a certain number of facts of elementary chemistry “ for the sake of teaching them. Not having wide knowledge, they are very apt to make blunders, “ stating that one compound is formed, when the actual product of the experiment is a wholly different “ one, ascribing changes to wrong causes, &c. No attempt seems to be made to give their pupils an “ idea that chemistry is a science where new facts may be discovered, and no training in the method of “ discovery appears to be attempted. 2. “ This is due to two causes, which are themselves related, (a) The syllabus of the South “ Kensington Examinations demands the knowledge of a certain number of facts, and the explanation “ or rather the definition of a certain number of terms. The pupils have little time, and the “ requirements are considerable. Hence it is necessary to direct their work entirely with a view to their “ examinations. It is necessary for such institutions to earn South Kensington grants, in order to “ maintain themselves at all. Higher fees cannot be afforded by the pupils ; moreover, the majority of “ the pupils attend classes in order to become teachers themselves, which they can do only by obtaining “ certificates from South Kensington, (b) The quality of the teachers is low. They come from the “ same class as their pupils, and have been trained in the same mould. I do not know the name of “ any one of those whom I have seen as having made any chemical investigation, or as having shown “ any special knowledge of chemistry. Moreover, they appear to be kept too hard at work. One of “ them informed me that he taught 36 hours a week. This leaves little time or energy for acquiring “ new knowledge, certainly none for extending the bounds of knowledge. 3. “ I should wish, in conclusion, to contrast such schools of chemistry with those of Germany “ or Switzerland. There the teachers are not thus over-taxed ; they are appointed from the “ same class of men who become professors in the universities. It is common for teachers “ to obtain professorial chairs. They are all imbued with the spirit of research. They are “ fettered by no syllabus, hence they may choose their own methods of instruction. Their posts are “ sufficiently endowed, and their laboratories palaces, in comparison with the make-shift appliances “ of our institutions. Their pupils come to them with reasonable ‘ secondary education ’ ; lads “ of 18 or 20 have no need to be taught the rule-of-three, as is the case with many of the “ chemical students in our institutions, but are able to use their opportunities. The result is that a “ large number of young men in Germany are turned out each year, able to be of use in chemical “ industry, and many of them find a home in England. The only similar place I know of in London is “ the City and Guilds School, at Finsbury ; there the teachers are competent men, able to give the “ highest instruction in their respective branches, furnished with adequate laboratories, and paid reason- “ able salaries ; but the amount of work they are required to do is excessive. It is impossible for men “ engaged during the day to give instruction in the evening also without detriment to their health and “ powers.” We need not look much further for the reasons why the chemistry teaching of London has so little efiect on London chemical trades. The class of students who are benefiting most largely by this teaching are themselves teachers, who thus learn enough to add one or more branches of science to the subjects thej’ teach under the Science and Art Department. They get what they require, viz., certifi- cates, but I doubt, with Professor Ramsay, if the Council is justified in giving much encouragement to this work, unless carried on on broader and more satisfactory lines. Professor Ramsay’s advice is “that the laboratories be subsidised so that sufficient funds are “ available for the purchase of chemicals and apparatus (the bill for chemicals at one laboratory visited “ is £3 2s. 8d. !) ; that the teachers be chosen from a class of men who have had a thorough training in “ chemistry and who have shown their ability for research ; that they be sufficiently paid ; that they he “ allowed to work with a free hand unfettered by syllabus ; but to secure efficiency, that they be inspected “ at intervals by some persons vffio will make it their business to report on the general character of the “ teaching by hearing occasional lectures and by talking to the pupils about their work.” (2.) Electrical TeacMufi. — The other main branch of science taught practically in London is electricity and electrical technology. On this subject Professor Ayrton, of the Central Institution, who has visited most of the important centres where such work is carried on, has made a valuable report. It appears that there are five electrical laboratories open for evening instruction in London, viz., at the Finsbury Technical College, the Goldsmiths’ Institute, New-cross ; at the People’s Palace, the Polytechnic and the Birkbeck Institute. To these must be added a small newly started laboratory at Toynbee Hall. Day instruction for electrical engineers is given more or less completely at several institutions, including the Central Institution, Finsbury Technical College, King’s College, University College, and the Polytechnic, besides two private establishments (the Hanover-square School of Electrical Engineering and Faraday House.) The day work done by the four first mentioned institutions is best discussed under the head of “ City and Guilds Institute ” and the “ Higher Education ” (see pp. 52 and 72). The day course of electrical engineering at the Polytechnic is carried on by the same staff and with the same appliances as are employed for the evening teaching. We are, however, here concerned with evening teaching both of electricity and electro-technics. 30 Professor Ayrton says — “ As regards the evening courses to artizans, mucli good work is being done, and as rnany of the students who attend are already engaged in electrical trades, the facilities for giving instruction should be made equal to the demand. . . . Without doubt the best evening teaching in electro-technology is that given at the Finsbury Technical College, and superintended by men all of whom are known in the world as authorities on their special subjects. Ihe course at the Goldsmiths’ Institute is very good, the two instructors being men who not only have received the training given in the three-year course of electrical engineering at the Central Institution, hut are both engaged during the day at Messrs. Siemens’ lai’ge electrical works at Charlton. These teachers are therefore particularly well fitted to give a thoroughly practical training. The laboratory however is small, and a good deal more apparatus might be usefully employed by the 120 evening students who work during the week in this electrical laboratory at New-cross. Ihe People’s Palace is probably unique among the educational establishments in London in having a really large private electric light generating station in its grounds. There w’ere several students working in the electrical laboratory, but none in the electric light central station as far as I observed. At the Birkbeck Institution it is electrical, rather than electro-technical teaching that is at present given ; indeed, it is only quite recently that a room was set apart for a physical laboratory in which such electric experiments as are performed by the students are carried out as well as others on optics, sound, &c. “ The Polytechnic, in addition to its day school of mechanical and electrical engineering, has evening classes in electric bell-work, &c., taught by practical men.” Conditions and nature of jnvposed aid . — The proposals made helow are largely devised with the view of meeting the evils pointed out in the re])ort of Professor Ramsay. (a) The first condition to he laid down relates to the over-employment of teachers. So far as polytechnics are concerned, it is true that the grants for science teaching will be merged in the general educational grant, except so far (see below, p. 59) as a special grant is given for high-class work along some line of applied science. But here, as elsewhere, a condition could be laid down that none of the heads of departments or principal teachers of any main branches of science in polytechnics shall be required to teach for an excessive number of hours. Twenty hours teaching a week is quite as much as a man can possibly do and yet have time for study and research ; and yet the head chemistry teacher at one of our chief institutes teaches (there or elsewhere) for 36 hours a week. The evil arises from the attempt to use the same staff for day and evening work, which again arises out of the necessity of economising. If the day and evening schools of these institutes are put on a satisfactory financial footing by County Council aid, this should be prohibited or confined within reasonable limits. I wish particularly to direct the attention of the governing bodies of polytechnics to this important point. (h) This condition as to over-employment of the teaching staff being insisted upon in all institutions recognised as science schools, a gi-ant should be made to institutions, other than “ polytechnics,” for equipment and apparatus for practical science teaching, each case being considered on its merits. The annual grant should be partly allocated to the proper maintenance of the laboratories in an efficient con- dition. An annual grant of T2 for every student who can be accommodated in the laboratory at the same time would be sufficient to start with, and this grant must be spent on the laboratories and not in any other way. In order to earn this grant the laboratories and the course of practical instruction must be approved as efficient by the County Council. The above grant applies both to chemical and physical laboratories, and is intended to encourage a broader system of practical experimental teaching than that which now prevails. I do not think, therefore, that it should be given to laboratories which merely teach the analysis of salts according to the Science and Art Department’s regulations. (c) Pursuing the same plan of allotting grant so as to supplement the deficiencies of existing science teaching instead of merely subsidising it in its present form, I think that a special grant ought to be made on account of students who, having already obtained a competent knondedge of the elements of the science in question, follow out under the guidance of the instructor special lines of technical work or research in the laboratories. But for this purpose no instructor can be recognised who has not by some piece of original research or invention or otherwise proved himself competent for the purpose. Dr. Macnair has recently started a class of this kind at the People’s Palace chemical laboratories, but it involves of course a dead loss to the institution. Where there are three or more students working on lines such as these, so that it is worth while for the instructor to give up one or more special evenings a week entirely to their instruction, I think the best form of grant for this higher work is a payment (say of not more than 10s.) for every time the class meets for not less than two hours duration, the instructor being present. Where the formation of a separate class is not practicable, and one or more students are engaged in work of the kind described side by side with the other students in the laboratory, the special grant must be calculated according to circumstances. In any case the grant should only be made after careful inspection by an expert.* The special grants to institutions (other than polytechnics or higher colleges) in which practical science is taught would thus be of three forms (a) capital expenditure on equipment, the Council retaining a lien on the apparatus, &c., (h) an annual grant for maintenance of laboratories, (c) a grant on students engaged in special lines of practical work with technical applications. (d) Any aid given to the ordinary teaching of science in these institutions should be in addition to these grants, and be calculated on the same scale as that proposed below for institutions and classes which have no provision for practical work. * A small laboratory spcciallj' devoted to practical work (both chemical and electrical) of the kind here alluded to has just been started in connection with Toynbee Hall. It is entirely confined to members of chemical or {tlcctrical or kindred trades. The chemical department is in charge of two expert “ visiting advisers ” and a small committee of practical men engaged in chemical industry. The work now in progress includes such branches of applied chemistry as oils, soap, tanning, colours, water analj'sis, A'c. 31 (e) All these grants should be subject to a stringent condition as to suitability of fee, about 6s. a term being a maximum. II. — Science teaching in connection with Public Elementary Schools. (a) Day Schools. — The School Board carries out elementary science teaching for the boys of the upper standards in its schools by means of peripatetic instructors, who both teach themselves at intervals and train teachers to carry out the work beWeen their visits, or in some cases to carry it out altogether under their general superintendence. This teaching is under the Education Department. London is divided for the purpose into four districts, with a special instructor for each, who works according to a syllabus of his own. This teaching being for standard pupils is outside our range, except as a preparation for the more advanced teaching of the higher grade or secondary school. Viewed in this light I fear that little can be said in its favour with the exception of the teaching given in one group of schools where the instructor has carefully thought out the principles and methods of science teaching for children. The teaching of science to children of elementary schools is a very difficult art, and there is great want of more effective training for the teachers who supply it. The syllabuses adopted in the Board Schools (with the exception above named) are not well arranged for the purpose, and attempt to cover far too much ground. Science teaching under the Education Department is given in many of the Board schools in London. In addition to this teaching, science classes in connection with South Kensington are held in forty-three Board schools, and about sixteen voluntary schools. They are chiefly attended by ex-standard scholars. Grants in aid of such teaching should not be made separatel}'’, but included in grants in aid of the general technical teaching of the ex-standard classes (see below, p. 67 ). (b) Evening Schools. — There are at present science classes in connection with South Kensington in forty evening schools under the School Board. The subjects taken and the attendance at them may be seen from the following table — Electricity and Magnetism No. of Classes. 23 No. on Roll. 425 Average Attendance (week ending Oct. 1, 1892) 364 Chemistry (theoretical) 12 202 185 Chemistry (practical) 1 17 14 Physiography 2 8 8 Physiology 1 — — Theoretical Mechanics 3 39 25 Applied Mechanics 2 10 10 Building Construction 7 72 64 Machine Construction 9 210 196 Geometry 8 111 106 Steam ... 3 32 26 Mathematics 4 56 43 Hygiene 1 — — 76 1,182 1,041 The average attendance for the session will certainly be lower than the The classes may thus be divided according to School Board districts — No. of Schools.

Other Evening Science Classes. — There remain a number of centres at W'hich some kind of science teaching is given in the evening, in some cases under the control of the managers of voluntary schools, in others in connection with young men’s “ institutes,” in others again in schoolrooms or halls hired for the purpose by the teacher or the committee whom he has got round him. If we except building and machine construction and a few other subjects which are really technical, nearly the whole of the students at these scattered science classes are elementary teachers, as may be seen from a reference to the tables on pp. 144 , &c. Nothing can be better than that teachers should learn science, but we may well wish that they could learn it at centres with proper laboratory provision, and where they could come into contact with teachers of a higher stamp and with wider knowledge of their subject. As it is, the object of the classes is too often the mere gaining of an additional certificate. Conditions of Permanent Aid. — I do not think any permanent good will be done by subsidising these science classes, without insisting on suitable conditions ; the most important of which are as follows — 32 (1) That in classes for the teaching both of Chemistry and Physics, suitable provision be made for practical experimental work, either by fitting up laboratories or by affiliating to some institution which possesses suitable laboratories, and obtaining the use of such laboratories on certain days of the week. Where fresh laboratories appear to the Council to be required by the circumstances of the district, a grant towards equipment and maintenance may be made as above, but this grant should not be given unless the Council is satisfied on this point. (2) That there is a sufficient supply of apparatus for the teaching of science, and a most important point that such apparatus is effectively used to illustrate the teachiny. (3) That technical classes, viz., Building Construction and Drawing, Machine Construction and Drawing, Steam and the Steam Engine, Navigation and Naval Architecture, he taught by teachers with practical acquaintance with the industries to which they refer. No grant need be made on the teaching of agriculture. (4) That the classes be not farmed by the teachers, hut be managed by responsible committees, having control over the rooms where the teaching is given, taking all receipts and paying the teachers by salary or by part-salary and part-share of fees, hut not by grant. Where a class is affiliated to a larger technical institute as provided above, no local committee is necessary. In this case, the County Council grant should be paid through the larger institute. Temporary p>roposals. — The Council may fairly require these conditions to be satisfied before September next, and decline to continue grant to any class which fails to comply with them by that date. But owing to the recent withdrawal of the grant of the Science and Art Department on “second class elementary ” passes, the classes in question are at the present moment placed in a very precarious position, and many of them have only continued to be held at all this autumn in the hope that the deficiency in the Science and Art grant would be made good in some form by the Council. Nor has this hope been unreasonable, in view of the terms of the circular issued in November, 1891, by the Science and Art Depaidment, from which the following extract is taken — “ The means recently placed at the disposal of local authorities for providing or aiding “ instruction, seem to render it unnecessary for the Science and Art Department to continue “ to give direct aid for very elementary instruction in science. Such instruction can now be “ more effectually organized and maintained locally. Is is very desirable that the payments “ for imparting it should, to some extent at least, not be made on the results of individual “ examinations. Local authorities, with their local knowledge and knowledge of local needa “ and requirements, are in a position to make capitation grants or payments for general “ efficiency in a manner which a central authority, whose rules must be the same for all parts “ of the country, cannot adopt ; and my Lords feel assured that they may count on having the “ support and assistance of these bodies, in forwarding the arrangements for placing “ instruction in science — the necessary foundation for any sound technical education — on a “ satisfactory footing.” Many councils of boroughs and counties have taken steps in the direction here indicated ; and in view of the desirability of keeping existing classes afloat until they have an opportunity of falling into line with the Council’s scheme of organisation, I recommend that for the present year the grants hereunder recommended for the future be given to all science classes (other than those held in higher colleges and polytechnics or under the School Board) which are connected with the Science and Art Department. The grant recommended is a capitation grant of 10s. a head on students who make the number of attendances qualifying them for grant from the Science and Art Department. A grant on this scale or modified as experience may suggest, should be continued after the current scholastic year to those classes which comq)ly with the conditions laid down above, together with the special grants for laboratories, &c., recommended above (p. 30) in cases to which such grants apply. In the above recommendations, the School Board Evening Classes are for the moment omitted, since these classes being governed by a central public authority, such of the above conditions as relate to management are inapplicable. Any grant made to the School Board for evening technical classes must, I think, be made without restrictions and conditions, though it may be fairly proportioned to the bulk of the work carried on in such classes within the meaning of the Technical Instruction Acts. Of course no part of this grant could be used for the instruction of standard scholars, i.e., all the evening scholars on whose account it is paid must be over the 5th Standard. A grant per child calculated on the basis suggested above for other classes, together with a grant for equipment and apparatus, will I think meet the requirements of the case. Objection may perhaps be taken to the proposal that the Council shall insist on conditions with regard to science classes generally, which will not be applied to classes under the School Board. The reply, however, to this objection is that the County Council is more or less responsible in general for the efficiency of the classes which it aids, and ought to make conditions to ensure this efficiency. But in handing money to the School Board which is itself an elected educational authority, the Council need not trouble itself further as to the detailed conditions under which that money is expended, so long as it is applied to the purposes for which it is intended within the Technical Instruction Acts. The Board will doubtless frame its own regulations, based upon its own experience, and should have as free a hand as possible, so far as the County Council is concerned. III.— The Training of Science Teachers. Finally there remains the question of the training of science teachers. We cannot regard the mere instruction of numbers of elementary teachers in science classes as adequate for this purpose, since no attempt is made to provide for the educational side of such training. W^hat was said above with reference to the training of art teachers applies equally to science. The mass of teachers who 33 attend classes do so to gain certificates which will he of service in obtaining better appointments. Only a small minority can be expected to care about improving tbeii’ methods of teaching. And yet there are but few even among trained teachers who grasp the principles of science teaching. There is indeed little provision for training in method of science teaching in training colleges, and the training the students there receive in the teaching of elementary subjects goes very little distance towards helping them. They can indeed handle, interest and discipline a large class of children, and this places them far above the untrained teacher as regards the mechanical side of teaching. But if they are to teach even the barest elements of science intelligently, much more is required, and for this scarcely any provision is made. Professor Armstrong almost alone among eminent scientific men has really devoted study to the methods of teaching his subject to children, and the School Board are fortunate on having in their staff a special instructor trained under him. But much more than this is required. We want a few men of thorough scientific knowledge, who have studied the question on its “pedagogic” side, and who are also masters of the practical art of teaching (the two latter qualities do not always go together) to devote them- selves to the improvement of methods of elementary science teaching in London. Such men are rare, and cannot he produced in a day. If, however, the County Council could see its way to engage one such man to begin with (and one at least could probably be found), pay him an adequate salary, employ him (like the proposed normal art master) to lecture free on two or three evenings to such teachers both of board and voluntary schools as really wish to study methods of teaching, and in the day to give a moderate amount of time to the general supervision of science teaching in higher elementary and secondary schools aided by the Council, I believe that the money would be very well spent. In time he would train a few teachers who might aid him in the work. Such a man must not be over-burdened with work, but have leisui’e to think out further than has yet been done the methods of science teaching. He ought to have time to himself to continue his own scientific researches, for it is certain that no man incapable of research and Avithout a taste for it would be competent for such an important post, and a man loses his freshness if divorced from practical science work. Such a man, I think, the Council might find for an initial salary of i‘500. Total cost of proposals for aiding Science Teaching.

Meaning of the term . — The term “ Technology ” is generally used to cover those branches of Technical Education which apply specifically to particular industries. In the language of the Technical Instruction Acts we may define it as the teaching of “ the application of particular branches of science and art to specific industries or employments.” Thus while drawing, geometry, and even general mechanical drawing is included under science and art, particular specialised branches of drawing, e.g., drawing for cabinet makers, builders’ drawing, engineers’ drawing, drawing for metal-plate workers are “ technology.” Again, such subjects as the principles of plumbing, hoot and shoe making, tailors’ cutting, typography, and the like, come under this head, always v/ith the proviso that the instruction is devised to supplement workshop practice, and does not sink into the mere teaching of a trade. City and Guilds Institute Technological Exa.minntions . — The range of subjects applicable to London industries which fall under the head of Technology, and which are already taught to some extent, is con- siderable, as may be seen from the list of subjects on which the City and Guilds Institute makes grants. The Science and Art Directm-y includes a few technological subjects (building construction and drawing, machine construction and drawing, steam and the steam engine, navigation and naval architecture) applicable to London trades. But the City and Guilds Institute, which works in harmony with the Science and Art examinations, has established a much more far-reaching set of “ technological ” examinations, and since all these subjects have been recognised by the Science and Art Department as fit subjects for grant by one or more local authorities, it may be assumed that they all come within the four corners of the Technical Instruction Acts. The following is the list, omitting subjects applicable to industries which are not carried on to any appreciable extent in London — Soap manufacture. Bread-making, Brewing, Spirit manufacture. Sugar manufacture, Fuel, Oils, painters’ colours and varnishes, Oils and fats. Gas manufacture. Pottery and porcelain. Glass, Leather tanning. Dressing of skins. Boot and shoe manufiicture. Photography, Electro-metallurgy, Silk weaving. Electrical engineering — Telegraphy, Electric lighting. Electric instrument making. Metal-plate work. Plumbers’ work. Silversmiths’ work. Watch and clock making. Wood-working tools. Metal-working tools. Mechanical engineering, Carriage building — Road carriages. Rail carriages, Typography, Lithography, Milling, Carpentry and joinery, Brickwork and masonry, Dressmaking, Ship carpentry. Ship joinery. Goldsmiths’ work. On all these subjects, if taught in London schools, the Institute makes grants on results of examination, of L'2 “ honors ” and iil “ ordinary grade.” It need hardly he said, how^ever, that the teaching of them efiectively is very expensive and is by no means covered by such grants. Last year 88fi London students in 40 classes were presented altogether at the Institute’s examinations, of whom 565 passed. While all the subjects enumerated above, and certain others, are usually included under the head of Technology, it is more convenient for our puiposes to treat certain of them (the teaching of which ought to be intimately associated with design or with laboratory woiL) as branches of Art and Science, confining “Technology” in the main to subjects taught in connection with mechanical drawing or workshop practice. Occwpations of technologiccd students — The details of these classes, the occupations of these students, the institutions at wLich they are held, are fully given in Appendix E. It will be seen from those tables that the students of these classes and of the technological classes connected with the Science and Art Department belong for the most part to trades to wdiicli the teaching definitely applies. This is partly due to the fact that the interest in such special teaching is chiefly confined to members of the trade, partly to the regulations of the Science and Art Department and the City and Guilds Institute, confining grant to students w'orking or preparing to work at the trade, aud partly to regulations of a like nature imposed by the managers of some of the institutions. However it comes about, the rule is, on the whole, a salutary one. If our technical classes undertook, like those of Paris, to teach a trade, of course people outside the trade would be admitted, Jiut as they merely try to siqgdement workshop teaching, the school workshops being mainly illustrative, they can only discharge their proper functions usefully for students actually engaged in the trade at the time. If amateurs form a considerable proportion of the students, the teaching must he distorted to suit their (very difl'erent) requirements. Such students would have to learn processes with which the practical student is already familiar : in fact, technological classes for amateurs would inevitably degenerate into an attempt to teach a trade — ineffectual, inasmuch as the time given to the subject must be absurdly insufficient, and illegal so far as County Council aid is concerned. 35 To fill the “ practical ” technical classes with workmen, apprentices and foremen actually engaged in industry is to obtain the best guarantee that the teaching is on sound j^ractical lines. It is worth while to state thus fully the true ground for the limitation of technological classes to members of the respective trades, because the limitation has often been both advocated and opposed on quite other grounds. Some unions, which insist rigorously on an apprenticeship of a given length, have feared that by letting in outsiders to technical classes, they may find a side-door opened into their trade which will take from them the control of the number of apprentices annually admitted. Or again in groups of trades, among which there is some jealousy as to the apportionment of work, there may be an objection to admitting members of the competing trade to learn the principles under- lying pi'ocesses, to the performance of which they ai’e supposed to have no right. Or on the other hand, free admission to all is defended on the ground that we have no right to debar any one from the oppor- tunity of learning any trade. Most of these arguments however are beside the mark ; inasmuch as the function of our technical classes is not to teach a trade throughout, but to increase a workman’s skill or knowledge. As regards the very minor question of overlapping trades, the only policy is one of give and take. No one could seriously object for example to an architect obtaining a knowledge of plumbers’ work, audit will be sufficient to draw the line that the student must belong to a trade to which the teaching is applicable. Trades constantly shift their margins, their limits are different in London and in the country ; in Loudon to-day, and in London ten years ago, and it is not desirable to accentuate the evils of division of labour by drawing the line too rigidly. We want to make all-round men, not one-sided specialists — a bootmaker, not a “ clicker ” or a “ finisher ” — an engineer, not a “ fitter ” or a “ turner” or a “ machine hand.” One important function in fact of a technical class is to give a workman some insight into the general principles of the whole of his trade, not only of the special branch to which he may chiefly be confined. The reasons we have given for confining technological classes to persons engaged in the trades will also enable us to make the necessary exceptions. (1.) The chief grou}) to be excepted are the artistic crafts, which for reasons given above (see “ The Teaching of Art in Loudon ” p. 21), should always be taught in the technical school as branches of Art, not as trades ; from the point of view of design, not of technique. Wood-carving, repousse-work, gold and silver- smiths’ work and crafts of this character should, in lact, be taken out of the category of technological classes and included under the head of Art (as has been done in this report). The artistic faculty wherever detected is of too great value to the community to be lost for want of training. Fortunately the sense of the trades concerned agrees on the whole with this view, and the definition of “ manual instruction ” in the Technical Instruction Act, excepts the crafts under consideration from the usual prohibition. (2.) Another (apparent) exception is “manual instruction” in the use of tools. I say “ apparent ” because such instruction properly carried out is in no sense technolo(jical, but merely a method of concrete education — a training of hand and eye. More is said of this subject later on ; but it is alluded to here because manual training classes for school boys and teachers are often confused (sometimes by their own fault) with the teaching of carpentry, and occasionally exception is taken to them on this ground. (3.) The complete teaching of trades to children in workhouse or industrial schools, to inmates of blind asylums, or cripples’ homes, &c., &c., is of course absolutely necessary, if any good is to be done, since the boys have no chance of learning elsewhere. Such teaching, as well as the teaching of trades to persons about to emigrate, is perfectly justifiable, but is outside the scope of technical education, and cannot be aided by grants under the Technical Instruction Acts. II.— The needs of London Industries. The consideration of such a qixestion as tliat discussed above shows how closely we touch on economic problems when dealing with purely technological teaching. It is evident, indeed, that the problem of providing teaching which is to form a definite part of the training of a workman for a specific ti’ade is intimately bound up with the general economic conditions under which that trade is carried on, and involves for its right solution a study of those conditions. It is impossible within the limits of this report to enter minutely on so vast a subject. All, therefore, which I propose to do is to summarize very briefly a few of the main conclusions which can be drawn from the mass of information as to existing trade conditions and methods of training which I have obtained from representatives of workmen’s organizations. In approaching a subject like this, which is essentially a workman’s question, it is most important to learn the views of the leaders of their organizations, and so far as possible to act in harmony with them. (1.) Except in a few special trades {e.g., shipwrights, barge-builders, etc.) apprenticeship under indentures is practically dead in London. In some trades it is replaced by a definite period of learning the trade without indentures (a sort of “quasi-apprenticeship ”). Thus a boy spends five years learning engineering, seven years learning ironmoulding, and so forth, though indentures are rare. In these trades the system of learning is very unsatisfactory. In many trades however (including carpentry, cabinet-making, boot-making, &c., &c.) nothing has taken the place of apprenticeship. There is no systematic method of training. Boys chiefly begin as errand-boys, and have to pick up the work as best they can. Thus a “carpenter,” for the purposes of the trade union, is a man who can earn average wages at the trade, not as formerly, one who has gone through a definite course of training. To discuss the causes and extent of this breakdown of apprenticeship is outside the scope of this report. It has indeed long been notorious. The important point for our purpose is the fact, with which I have been struck during the inquiry, that the workmen, or at least their representatives, are now keenly alive to the evil of the present state of things. Not a hint of objection or prejudice against technical education has reached me from labour leaders. They feel that the old system of handing on the “mysteries” of the craft from master to apprentice is hopelessly gone, and cannot come back — 36 at least in the trades touched hy the industrial revolution — -and they look to the technical school to supplement the defects of the modern slipshod method of workshop training. (2.) The first main want of the artisan in most of the trades {e.g., carpentry, bricklaying, plumbing and other building trades, cabinet-making, engineering, etc.! involving construction, is a knowledge of geometry and technical drawing. The power of reading a scale-drawing is necessary for many who will rarely have to make one. Again, the power of conveying ideas by means of a rough freehand sketch is an immense advantage to the artisan. This point was emphasised by all the representatives of constructive trades. (3.) The second main want is a knowledge of theorg, i.e., the rational explanation of the processes carried out in the workshop. (4.) Practical work in workshops should be distinctly subordinate to the teaching of theory. To quote the Secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters (London District) the time is limited, and workshop teaching must not encroach unduly on the time required for the teaching of carpenter’s drawing. This was also emphasised by the organiser of the Alliance Cabinet-makers’ Union. The practical teaching of the school workshop should, in fact, be confined to the discharge of three functions - (a) The illustration of principles taught in the theoretical class. [li) The familiarising of the workman with a general notion of processes and branches of work in his trade outside the particular branch at which he usually works. This is the main function of the engineering workshops at the Polytechnic, &c. There w'e find journeymen engineers and apprentices wdio are confined to the vice or the lathe, as the case may be, in the shops where they work, with no chance of seeing any other kind of work. In the workshops of the technical school they have an opportunity of woi’king at the tools or machines of which otherwise they would get no notion. The same is true of cabinet-makers confined in the shops to the making, say, of tables. The school w’orkshop hence tends to counteract the evils of excessive division of labour. (c) The training of the workman in certain special and highly skilled branches of his trade, which he has no chance of learning in the ordinary workshop. For example the bricklaying workshops at Finsbury, the Polytechnic, People’s Palace, and Borough-road, train the bricklayer in the art of “ brick-cutting” for which the modern treatment of ornamental brickwork in building creates a demand, and which only a small minority of bricklayers can perform. Again, in carpentry the geometry and construction of handrailing and staircasing is a special branch known only to a minority of carpenters. It is taught with great success at the Polytechnic workshops. The cabinet-making trade furnishes us with other examples. I need hardly point out that practical workshop teaching if carried out on these lines would be almost useless to the amateur, assuming as it does a previous practical acquaintance with the trade. The relative importance of the above three main purposes of the technical workshop varies in different trades. For bricklayers the third is the most important. For boot and shoe makers, in the opinion of the secretary of the National Union of Boot and Shoe Operatives, the chief function of the technical school is to counteract the tendency to division of labour ; a man should aim not at becoming a more expert “ clicker,” but at being able to make a hand-sewn boot throughout, this being the best training even for the machine industry. Again for painters and decorators the chief service that the technical school can do is to train in art, including design. If practical house-decoration be included at all (as at the South London Technical Art School) it must be chiefly as illustration of the teaching of design. As the secretary of the Amalgamated Society of House Decorators and Painters points out, it is impossible to get the necessary variety of work on a large scale in the technical school to be in any way a substitute for trade-practice. (5.) The success of technical classes will largely depend on the hours of labour. In the building trades, wdiere there is a uniform scale of hours throughout (viz. 6.30 to 5 in summer and 7 to 4 or 4.30 in the winter) with little systematic overtime, their is nothing in the hours to interfere w’ith the evening technical classes. The same is true of the engineering trades as a rule. The cabinet-making trade, with hours from 8 to 8, is far harder to touch, especially considering the amount of systematic overtime prevailing, especially in East-end shops towards the end of each week. It is perfectly useless for this reason to attempt classes for cabinet-makers on Tliursday or Friday evenings, and on other- days the hours are a very formidable obstacle. The cabinet trade stands in need of technical education as much as any trade in London, yet unless hours are shortened or some plan can be arranged for the technical instruction of apprentices and learners during a part of the day, or for a relaxation of then- hours of work on evenings on w-hich they attend such classes, it is difficult to see how- very much will be possible, at all events immediately. The boot and shoe makers again work from 8 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. but (so far as factory and work- .shop labour is concerned) there is not much overtime for boys, except during pai-t of the spring. The chief enemy of systematic training in such trades as these has been the prevalence of home-work of a low class carried on for indefinite hours. Compositors work from 8 to 7, and hence are in a less unfavourable position as regards technical classes, except for the greater prevalence of overtime. So far as the success of technical education turns on hours of work, or on the facilities and encouragement afibrdatl to apprentices and learners to attend classes, it lies with the trade organisations, both of men and masters, to clear the w-ay. (6) The technical classes, at least for the more dementarg teaching, must, as a rule, be near to the men’s homes rather than their places of work. A valuable suggestion has been made, that in technical classes requiring- workshop instruction the theoretical work should be carried on in several local classes in a district, and for the practical work, the workshop of the nearest polytechnic should be used w-liere practicable on Saturday afternoons or evenings. 37 (7) Many of the trade societies are likely (in the opinion of their prominent members) to be willing to do their full share to encourage technical education supplied by the County Council by organisimj the demand; e.g., by distributing advertisements of classes among their members, by giving encouragement to learners and apprentices to attend, &c., etc. I wish to emphasise the importance of this point. The organisations of workmen might give invaluable assistance to any sound scheme of technical education, by acting as conduct pipes to bring the existence and advantages of the classes systematically before their members. This is a work which the County Council cannot do dii’ectly, but which could be easily done through the agency of trade societies. III.— Existing Facts. The teaching of technology in London, in the sense in which the term is used in this report (i.c., excluding artistic crafts taught from the point of view of design, and manual instruction taught from an educational point of view) is confined to a very small number of institutions, of which the most important are Finsbury Technical College and the Polytechnics. These institutions account for 90 per cent, of the total students receiving instruction in these subjects. There are a few special schools, e.g., the Horological Institute in Clerkenwell, the Leather Trades School in Bethnal-green, and a class in Naval Architecture in East London, while a Printing School is contemplated in St. Bride’s. Other agencies are the evening classes in building, architecture and engineering at University College, in the same subjects with the addition of sanitary science at King’s College ; evening classes in plumbing, carpentry, metal-plate work, &c., at the Westminster Technical Institute, &c., together with a few classes in plumbing, carpentry, building construction, and machine construction at various scattered centres, such as the Aldenham Institute, St. Peter’s Institute and others. Agriculture, which is taught in ten classes to 234 students, can hardly be regarded as a branch of technology from the point of view of London industry. Building and machine construction, though really technological, are included in the science and art directory, and the grants for science teaching proposed under Section VIII. should apply to these subjects, provided that the teacher can show evidence of practical qualifications for his work. The only existing naval architecture class is supported by the Shipwrights’ Company, and hence is unlikely to apply for grant from the County Council. If we deduct these classes we reduce the total number of institutions giving technological teaching to a very small figure. Thus in some ways fortunately, we have not to deal so far as technology is con- cerned with a field already half covered with scattered and disorganised classes. We have a certain small definite number of centres of technological teaching, which we should strengthen and from which all or the greater part of technological teaching in the future may radiate. The quality of the technological teaching done in these institutes is not easy to estimate by inspection, unless a practical expert in each trade be employed as inspector, and even then, who shall inspect our inspector ? Here then we see the value of confining these classes to practical students, since their presence and regular attendance is as good a guarantee as can be obtained of the practical nature of the teaching. If the County Council aid this work, I recommend that the general supervision of it be placed in the hands of trade committees, partly elected by masters’ and workmen’s trade organisations, aud paying visits to the schools and workshops from time to time. The quantity and character of the work at each institute is seen from a glance at Appendix E. IV.— Conditions of Aid. Work-shop instruction where aided must always be associated with theoretical teaching or drawing. None of the crafts enumerated on p. 22 as proper subjects to be treated in connection with schools of art should, for the purpose of this report, be included under technology, and manual instruction for teachers or boys (not engaged in handicraft) is also excluded. The aid given to the Polytechnics for technological teaching will be merged in the general grant for educational purposes made to these institutes, and their work is best described as a whole under a future section of this report. Finsbury College, which applies for no aid, is described on p. 52. We have then merely to consider a few minor centres. Of these a good type is the Westminster Technical Institute, a most interesting evening technical school for artisans, carried on at present at great disadvantage in the buildings of a higher grade school in Rochester-row. In this school teaching is given to artisans in carpentry and joinery, plumbing (theoretical and practical), metal-plate work, and builders’ quantities, besides drawing, commercial and domestic subjects, and a few branches of elementary science. The school, which is doing excellent work for about 300 students, is about to be re-housed in a building to be erected at the expense (to a large extent) of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, who originally started the institute, and has subsidised it to the extent of some hundreds of pounds every year. The proposed new buildings, or rather that part of them for which plans are already pre- pared, will contain workshops for plumbers, metal-workers, carpenters, and carriage-builders. Part of the buildings will be used for an elementary school during the day. The cost is estimated at ^4,500 for building, and AT, 000 for equipment and apparatus. The deficit on last year’s work was L'400, which was met by the Baroness Burdett-Coutts. I can imagine no more fitting object for County Council aid. There is ample room in Westminster for the development of a centre such as this, with- out in any way encroaching on the broader work of the polytechnics. In determining how best to aid technological teaching a sharp line should bo drawn between institutions equipped with practical workshops ond classes giving merely theoretical instruction or instruction in drawing. Many more of the latter classes are wanted than of the former, but their expense is so much less that they require far less grant from the Council. On the other hand we want 38 to avoid unnecessary multiplication of workshops. Before giving aid, therefore, for the starting of new workshops the Council should require ample evidence of their necessity, and all grants recommended below for such equipment should be conditional on such evidence being satisfactory. There are, however, so very few educational workshops at present in London outside a few large centres, that there is not much fear of overlapping for some time. The teaching of all technological classes aided by the Council should be conducted by well (jualified practical men, and inducements should be held out to such men to obtain some kind of training in methods of teaching. These conditions being satisfied, the Council would best improve the efficiency of technological teaching by giving aid towards equipment of workshops, and also (as proposed on p. 30 for science laboratories) by allocating part of the maintenance grant to the proper maintenance of these workshops with tools, materials, &c. The capital grants should vary according to the circumstances of each case, but the annual grant towards maintenance of the workshops may be calculated at for each student for whom there is proper accommodation in the workshops at one and the same time. In cases of doubt the County Council inspector could determine the number for whom suitable accommodation is provided. The workshops included under this grant would include workshops for — Engineering Woodwork Plumbing Brick-cutting, &c. Carriage-building Watch and clock making Boot and shoe making, &c., &c. They must, in order to qualify for the grant, be properly equipped at the outset with the necessary benches, tools, &c. No workshop will be paid for twice over, c.g., if used both for carpentry, cabinet-making and pattern-making, it must be entered under one head or another. The grant is intended to be used entirely for maintenance of workshops. Workshops which are used over and over again by different batches of students will get their advantage over those which are less used, in the shape of the capitation grant recommended below. Where a workshop is so little used that the whole of the above grant is not required for maintenance, the grant might well be given on a lower scale. This is a matter for inspectors’ reports. Beyond these workshop grants, payments may be made towards the teaching both practical and theoretical, which is very barely provided for at present. The grant should, I think, be made on the capitation principle, and be calculated only on those students engaged in industries to which the teaching applies. The grant should be greater on practical than theoretical work, because the classes must be so much smaller. I suggest that the capitation grant on the theoretical and drawing classes be calculated on the same scale as that recommended for science classes (p. 31), but that on each student who makes 20 or more attendances, in the year ol two hours each at a properly equipped workshop, under an efficient, practical teacher, and associated with efficient theoretical instruction, a gi-antbe made of i61. The worksho}) should, however, be open to each student for at least 30 evenings in the session, and the fee must be suitable (say a maximum of 5s. a term) to members of the trade. Technological teaching not held in institutions equipped with efficient apparatus and workshops should only be aided on the same conditions as those laid down above for the teaching of science, i.e., they must be affiliated to institutes with workshops, in the case of all subjects such as those enumerated above as requiring practical workshop teaching, and the grant to them should be paid through the Committee of the central institute in question. The very few scattered technological classes at present being carried on in London should be allowed till September next to conform to this condition, as in the case of science classes, meanwhile receiving grant as above. For the above purposes “ technology ” is held to include all the subjects enumerated on p. 34 (from the City and Guilds Institute’s programme) as applicable to London industries, except goldsmiths’ and silversmiths’ work which must be treated as part of art instruction, and are provided for under that head ; the branches of applied chemistry (e.g., oils and fats, oils and varnishes, brewing, &c.), and of applied physics (electrical engineering) which are taught in scientific laboratories in connection with the teach- ing of science, and are provided for under that head. A few branches of teaching (e.g., cabinet-making) may be added. Some of the above subjects may be split up, e.g., “ drawing for carpenters ” may be treated as a separate subject, apart from “ Building Construction.” The Teaching of Sanitary Science. The teaching of the elements of Sanitary Science, especially to sanitary inspectors, is a branch of technology which peculiarly concerns the County Council as an administrative body touching as it does questions of public health, housing, &c. After January, 1895, all sanitary inspectors will be required (under the Public Health (London) Act, 1891) to hold a certificate of competence from some body recognised for the purpose by the Local Government Board. It is of the highest importance that as large a proportion as possible of candidates for these certificates should previously go through a systematic course of instruction, and that there should be one recognised certificate-granting body for London, instead of several competing bodies, as at present. Teaching is already provided by two agencies. (1) The Sanitary Institute provides courses of 12 or more lectures on various subjects bearing on sanitation. The lectures are given by different men, and a fee of about 15s. is charged. The Institute examines and grants certificates at the end of the courses. It has already arranged several courses in connection with provincial County Councils, and desires a 39 grant from the London County Council for the same purpose, and also for the maintenance of the Parkes Museum of Sanitary Science. (2) King’s College (in common with University College), has received L'10,000 under Berridge’s Trust, for the formation of a department of Public Health. The sum has been spent in equipping laboratories, &c., for the training of medical officers of health in the daytime ; a matter of great import- ance, hut one which, in common with general medical education, is rather to be regarded as belonging to professional than to technical education. In the evening, courses of lectures are given on building construction, chemistry and physics in their relation to sanitation, and on the general duties of sanitary inspectors. No part of the endowment being used for this purpose the fees charged are high (£3 3s. a term), which place the lectures out of the reach of the average sanitary inspector who earns from £100 to £150 a year. A grant is consequently asked to enable the fees to be reduced. There are various reasons which make it desirable that the County Council in promoting sanitary instruction and examination should not merely act through one existing agency. If the various sanitary bodies, e.g., Sanitary Institute, Society of Medical Officers, College of State Medicine, Institute of Public Health, Ac., could come to some common agreement and appoint a joint educational board to provide teaching and to grant certificates, the County Council, if well represented on such a board, might do well to make it a substantial grant for the purposes of education, examination, and the maintenance and development of a sanitary museum, of which the existing Parkes Museum might be the nucleus. Failing such combined action, the County Council would do well to keep the whole matter in its own hands, arranging with the Sanitary Institute or any other body as the case might be, to provide teaching, and itself appointing examiners and granting certificates. The grant to the King’s College evening sanitary classes would be naturally merged in the general grant proposed (under the head of higher education) for their evening technical classes, with a condition that sanitary officers holding posts within the County of London should he admitted free, the lecturers’ stipends being supplemented out of the County Council grant. Lectures and classes at two or three other centres might also be aiTanged. They would he well held in town or vestry halls, on the “ University Extension ” plan (of 12 lectures in each course followed by classes and weekly papers of questions), and should be free to sanitary inspectors, the general public being admitted at a moderate fee. The lecturers might he selected in conjunction with the Sanitary Institute, but each course should as a rule be given throughout by one man. Cotirses made up of single lectures by different lecturers are useful for stimulus, but can accomplish little real teaching. I recommend that £500 be allocated for the first year for instruction in sanitary science particularly for sanitary inspectors, in addition to the grant to King’s College recommended on p. 76) of which at least £150 a year should be used for the evening sanitary lectures. If arrangements can be made for the joint hoard as suggested above to take over the Parkes Museum, an annual grant of £500 would suffice for its maintenance and development.

I.— General Principles. “ Manual training in the use of tools ” is (or at least should be) merely a concrete mode of educa- tion, doing for the hand and eye what bookwork does for the brain and memory. It is to be regarded then not as a “ technological ” subject but as a part of general education. As to the form w'hich it shall take, regard must be had to the age of the scholars and the other circumstances of the case. The occupa- tions of the Kindergarten (paper cutting, folding and weaving, clay modelling, cardboard work, &c.), are so many forms of manual training. Indeed, however far we may be from realising it in practice, the theory of manual work in the “ kindergarten ” stage has been more completely worked out than most other parts of educational theory. Unfortunately in some ways, fortunately perhaps in others, Friedrich Froebel never systematised in detail the ideas put forth in the “ Education of Man ” except for the earliest stages of school education. Thus we have lost possibly a masterly scheme of manual training which would have saved us many blunders, but we may perhaps have gained a certain freedom from the narrowing influence of a mere “ cult,” and “ system worship ” into which so much of our kindergarten work tends to degenerate. Manual training suitable for the older pupils of our elementary schools is very far from being trade teaching, but none the less any satisfactory scheme must have a distinct relation to surrounding industrial practice and tradition. It is essentially a “transition class” linking the purely “development” training of the child with the purely “ technical ” training of the apprentice. This report is no place for entering on a discussion of educational theory, but the reasons for and against any scheme of manual training cannot be presented or understood without recognising its double relation to child-mind and industrial practice. Froebel was a master of the former; the second is the sphere of the engineer, the artisan, the man of science. Any system of intermediate manual training must be w’orked out in harmony with the laws of both. It must differ from practical carpentry in the graduation of its steps and their conformity to the capacities and interests of the children, it must harmonise with it in teaching the right use of the right tools, in order that what is learned may be a true preparation for industry, not the acquisition of methods and knowledge that will have hereafter to be painfully unlearned. It cannot be said that the problem of manual training has as yet been worked out finally on these lines in England, nor is it to be hoped that any one perfect “system” will emerge from the present rivalry of methods to reign suin-eme in the boys’ school, as Froebel’s “gifts” and “occupations” reign supreme in the infant school. At all events for the present it is wise to recognise fully the merits of widely different systems, so long as they conform generally to the above principles. The most famous system of manual work based on Froebel’s j^hilosophy is the Naas “ Sldjd ” of Herr Otto Salomon, which is well worth our study, whatever be thought of its applicability to England. Unfortunately, many of the Englishmen and English women who have studied it have not been familiar with English mechanical industry, and so, instead of seeking to transform it to English requirements by the true method of applying the same educational principles to the teaching of the use of English tools and methods, they have adopted the short cut of importing the Swedish system en bloc, and then perhaps adapting it in details when forced to do so by criticisms of practical men. At the opposite pole from “ Sldjd ” (which whatever be its practical defects is at least a well thought out and graduated system) is the shipshod teaching of rough carpentry by carpenters which does duty for manual training at many of our secondary schools in London, w'hich is almost worthless from an educational point of view. (These classes are treated under the head of Secondary Education.) In connection, however, with many of our public elementary schools, a serious attempt is now being made to develop an English scheme of graduated manual training, which shall be based on English tools and methods, and yet form a graduated educational course. The three most important agencies giving instruction of this kind in London at present to pupils of elementary schools are (1) the School Board, which has seventeen workshops now in operation, and is fitting up 25 more, (2) a joint committee of the School Board, City and Guilds Institute, and Drapers’ Company (to which a representative of the London County Council has lately been added) which has seven “ centres ” under its control (six for wood-work, and one for wood and metal-work), for the instruction of boys from neighbouring Board and voluntary schools, and (3) the “ Whitechapel Craft School,” a voluntary organisation which serves as a centre for the instruction in wood-work of boys from seven neighbouring schools. This teaching applies chiefly to boys in the standards of elementary schools, and hence does not (directly) come within the scope of the County Council’s powers. The same remark applies to the various forms of (so-called) “ hand-and-eye work ” by which the School Board has attempted to make a link between the work of the infant school and manual training properly so-called. Such is the teaching of cardboard modelling, paper cutting, folding and colouring, &c., which is now given in many Board schools. Manual instruction in secondary and higher grade schools is provided for in the general grant made to such schools. Manual training in evening classes for boys who have left the day-schools is perhaps hardly a matter for immediate County Council aid, except for boys who are engaged in or preparing to enter a trade in which the tools are employed. In this case it becomes “ technological ” teaching, and is provided for under that head. It may in future become desirable to provide for general manual training on purely educational lines in evening continuation schools, but it is hardl}' necessary to set aside a definite grant for the purpose for the first year. The chief matter in which the Council comes into contact with manual training of the kind here alluded to, is in the provision which it may make for the training of teachers. 41 II.— The Training of Teachers. I think that in the present stage the Council would do well to i*ecognise, temporarily, widely different systems, so long as they conform to some such conditions as the following : — (1.) They must be educationally graded, i.c., the models and exercises, must be systematically graduated in difficulty, and illustrate the appropriate use of each tool introduced. (2.) The work must be associated with drawing to scale. , (3.) The scheme of instruction must be based on English tools and processes, so as to make a correct introduction to mechanical industry, though in no way infringing on techno- logical teaching applicable to a special branch of industry. Existing classes — The chief manual training centres for teachers in London are, (1) the training class of the City and Guilds Institute, of about 60 teachers, (2) the centres of manual training of the London School Board (held up to the end of last year) for about 100 teachers, (3) the Whitechapel Craft School with normal classes for 113 teachers, (4) the Guild and School of Handicraft in Mile-end with about 137 teachers.* Of these, the first-named is of course not in need of assistance from the Council, and the London School Board centres are at present closed, owing to the surcharge by the auditor. Should the School Board desire it, doubtless the Council will make provision which will enable them to carry on their training work. All these classes work, with more or less success, on the basis of English handicraft method. I think that all grants for manual training should be quite tentative at present, and subject to recall, if in a year’s time the Council is inclined to adopt different measures for the training of teachers (e.g., to take the matter entirely into its own hands). All institutions aided for this purpose should therefore be specially warned that they must not count on such aid for more than a year. The School Board classes were free to selected teachers: the others charge fees ranging from 10s. to 15s. a term for two hours a week, and have no entrance examination. It will be seen that (assuming that the School Board classes are revived) there is already provision for the simultaneous training of about 400 teachers in London. This provision is amply sufficient in quantity, and any County Council aid should be devised in such a form as to raise the standard of teaching and make it more thorough and systematic. In the first place no teachers’ training classes should be aided which are carried on on the lines of technological classes for carpenters. Teachers’ classes for manual instruction must be confined to teachers, otherwise there will be confusion and loss of power. They must be conducted on educational lines, according to a graduated system as defined above. They must provide not only for systematic practical instruction at the bench, hut also for efficient teaching of practical drawing and for instruction bearing on the properties of materials and the use of tools. They must, in short, be training classes, not technological classes ; and the instructor must give evidence of qualifications, both on the practical and on the teaching side. (2) In the second place there should be an entrance examination for the teachers who wish to attend manual classes aided by the County Council. The examination should bo chiefly in mechanical drawing and solid geometry. The object is to secure that the teachers on whose account the County Council grant is given, are likely to profit by the instruction, and after training become competent instructors in manual work. However the entrance examination is planned, it must be uniform iu standard for all manual training classes to which aid is given. T'he managers of such classes would not be in any way forbidden to admit teachers who fail to come up to the standard of the entrance examination, at any fee they please to charge, but no grant should be made by the Council on account of any teachers other than those admitted on the examination. (3) The teachers on whose training grant is paid, should attend at least twice a week, and make not less than 40 attendances, of two hours each during the year, at the bench, besides going through a satisfactory course of instruction in drawing, properties of timber, tools and general theory. (4) Certain centres which satisfy the Council as to teaching power, equipment, &c., and work according to a satisfactory graduated course of instruction, should be selected for recognition. The fee charged at these centres should be not more than 10s. a term inclusive for teachers who pass the entrance examination, and a grant of ii2 a head should be made on account of such of these teachers as fulfil the above conditions. The “ S15jd ” Association of Great Britain and Ireland, has approached the Council with a view to obtaining a grant to carry on teachers’ classes in “ Slojd.” If such classes are efficiently conducted and conform to the conditions laid down above, there is no reason why they should not be recognised as one of the centres which teachers who pass the entrance examination may attend, and receive grant on the scale recommended above. If however it he found that these conditions are incompatible with the carrying on of the classes, on account of the wide difference between Swedish and English handicraft, the Council will have to consider whether it is desirable to relax these conditions in order that the experiment may be tried, or whether on the other hand the importance of keeping all the manual instruction in touch with English handicraft is so great as to render such relaxation undesirable. I recommend that a grant of ^0500 be set aside for the first year for manual training classes for teachers, and that the School Board and City and Guilds Institute he approached with a view to arrange uniform and satisfactory conditions for the manual classes. ro] * The numbers are given for last year. 42 XI.— THE TEACHINCt OF COMMERCIAL SUBJECTS IN LONDON. I. — General Principles. Loudon is by far tbe greatest commercial centre in the world. Probably the number and importance of the commercial establishments in London is not only actually greater than those of any other city, hut also greater as a percentage of the whole population. The number of clerks recorded in the 1881 census was no less than 100,000 (including 4,000 women and girls). Commercial education then is a most important branch of technical education in London. As in the case of other branches of the subject, commercial education must be regarded from two points of view, as part of secondary and higher education received before entering business, and as instruction supplementary to the practical experience of business life received in evening classes or otherwise after entering the office. The ordinary teaching of the secondary school in writing, arithmetic, composition, modern languages, geography and history, is in a sense “commercial education,” being in fact the indispensable preliminary to any more specialised instruction. In addition to this, some secondary schools give instruction in book-keeping and shorthand, and in their higher forms, specialise the teaching of geography and history along commercial lines. In the polytechnic institutes and other evening institutions, there are large classes for the teaching of modern languages, book-keeping, and shorthand, largely attended by students engaged in the day in commercial occupations. With regard however to systematic and higher commercial teaching, there is no doubt that we are lamentably deficient in London. The subjects named above would be regarded abroad as the merest elements of a commercial education. Teaching bearing on commercial law and practice, the tariffs and commercial customs of various nations, the economics of banking, currency and finance, are almost unprovided for by public agencies, if we except the lectures on political economy at University and King’s Colleges which touch practical commerce very slightly, and the evening lectures on commerce and mercantile law given at King’s College, the City of London College, and the Birkbeck Institute. The Institute of Bankers and the Institute of Chartered Accountants hold examinations in some of the above subjects for their own members or candidates for membership ; but we have nothing to be compared for a moment to the Higher Commercial Schools of Vienna or Antwerp. And yet all the subjects enumerated above are of the greatest importance to commercial men ; Many grave blunders would be avoided if their principles were generally understood ; and useful and indeed indispensable as practical experience in business is, in giving colour and reality to the notions acquired in the lecture-room, none of these branches of knowledge are such as can be adequately acquired in the rush and hurry of actual commercial life. What is wanted then is (1) efficient general preparation for a commercial career in the secondary school, (2) widely diffused evening instruction in modern languages, book-keeping and shorthand, and (3) efficient and systematic higher commercial teaching, both in higher departments of secondary schools and as a part of university teaching. II.— Existing Facts. (1.) Teaching Agencies . — The extent to which secondary schools in London attempt to give special commercial instruction may be seen from their time-tables, on pp. 149-168. The commercial teaching given in evening classes is not nearly so easy to tabulate and classify as the teaching of art, science, and technology, for two reasons. In the first place it is not easy to draw the line between commercial and general teaching. French taught to one class of students, and in one way, is “ commercial taught to another class, and in another way, it is “ general.” The same is true of writing, arithmetic, history and geography. In the next place the registers are not as a rule nearly so rigorously kept in the commercial departments of the polytechnics and other institutes as in the science and art and technological departments. Occupations, ages, attendances, &c., are much more loosely noted, if at all. The following table, though it includes all the most important centres of commercial instructions, is therefore probably very far Lorn complete, and, as regards modern languages at least, it is certain that many of the students cannot be regarded as bond fide commercial students — French.

No one can fail to be struck with the size of some of these classes. Of course they are sub- divided, being held on several days of the week and at different times of the evening, but still the number of students who can be taught simultaneously is, as a rule, far greater in subjects of this kind than in art, science or technology. Consequently the cost per head of the teaching is far less, and indeed well-conducted commercial classes of the type under consideration may be made self-supporting, even if the fee be low, if the buildings are provided. As stated above, provision for higher commercial teaching is almost entirely wanting, but under a recent scheme of the Charity Commissioners a “ higher commercial school ” for boys of 16 to 18 or 19 will shortly be established in connection with the Central Foundation Schools in the City. The actual establishment of this school is at present delayed by the want of funds, but if this difficulty can be got over it ought to fill a gap which at present is entirely unsupplied. (2) Examining Agencies. — (a) Society of Arts . — For many years past the Society of Arts has held examinations and granted diplomas in various branches of commercial knowledge, including modern languages, book-keeping, and shorthand. Most of the evening institutions giving commercial instruc- tion send in candidates for these examinations, which have considerable repute. {h) London Chamber of Commerce . — Three or four years ago the London Chamber of Commerce instituted an inquiry into the extent and causes of the employment of foreigners in London commercial houses, and came to the definite conclusion that one important cause was the inferior education of the English boy, so far as knowledge useful in commercial life is concerned. No doubt other causes also operate, such as the natural superiority of the German in the German language, and to some extent the lower rate of salary which he is willing to accept in order to gain a knowledge of English business. These causes of preference are of course in'emovable, but the London Chamber of Commerce was so convinced by its inquiry that the superiority of foreign commercial education is one important factor in the question, that it proceeded to devise a scheme for the improvement of such education in England. The scheme, which has now been in operation for three years, consists of (1) an outline suggested time table for secondary education for boys preparing for commercial pursuits, (2) a system of examinations for junior commercial certificates for boys of about 16, (3) an employment bureau for obtaining employment for those who have gained these certificates. A number of prizes and scholarships are also offered for successful candidates by various individuals and city firms. To the above is now being added a scheme for “ higher commercial certificates ” intended for students who have gone through a higher and more specialised course in day or evening classes. It is proposed in the case of these higher examinations to give certificates also for single subjects. The suggested time-table calls for no comment. It is merely intended as a guide, and is in no way compulsory on the schools sending in candidates for the examinations. The examination for junior commercial certificates includes seven compulsory and eight optional subjects, of which one must and all may be taken by the candidates. The compulsory subjects are English, a foreign language, commercial history and geography, arithmetic, mathematics, book-keeping and drawing. The optional subjects include five branches of science, advanced drawing, shorthand and Latin. In 1891, 86 candidates presented themselves, of whom 42 received certificates. The successful London candidates were drawn from the following schools ; — No. of success- ful Candidates. Owen’s School, Islington ... ... ... ... 14 Tollington Park College (private) ... ... ... 7 Central Foundation Schools ... ... ... 6 University College Schools ... ... ... 2 Parmiter School... ... ... ... ... 2 Polytechnic, Regent-street. . . ... ... ... 2 City of London School ... ... ... ... 1 34 The examinations have hitherto been conducted through the agency of the College of Preceptors. With regard to the “ employment bureau ■” a large number of City firms have offered to give preference to holders of the Chamber of Commerce Certificate, and Mr. Kenric Murray, the Secretary to the Chamber, informs me that nearly all applicants have had employment found in this way. The higher commercial scheme includes provision for commercial and industrial law, insurance, and commerce, besides shorthand, foreign languages, commercial history and geography, and various branches of science, drawing, mathematics, English and Latin. Here again there are to be compulsory and optional subjects for those taking the higher commercial certificate, but special certificates will also be granted in separate subjects. This part of the scheme is not yet in operation. The above detailed description of the scheme has been given, because of its importance, not only as the only systematic attempt to raise the standard of commercial teachiug in London, but also as the work of so representative and influential a body as the London Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber, indeed, is desirous of developing the scheme further, and for this purpose asks for aid from the County Council. At present the annual cost is about ^120, exclusive of prizes and scholarships and the cost of keeping the register. In considering the best mode in which the Council can supplement the efforts of the London Chamber of Commerce, it is best to pursue the plan adopted in other parts of this report, of inquiring what are its weak points as it stands at present and how far the Council’s action can strengthen them. 44 (1.) Though examinations and syllabuses may stimulate and test teaching they cannot by them- selves stand in lieu of it. Probably, considering the means at its disposal, the London Chamber of Commerce has acted in the only manner open to it in starting from the examination end. But the most crying evil is the w'ant of teachers competent to give higher commercial instruction, and until we have them the results of a mere examination scheme will be somewhat disappointing. The Council would, therefore, do well to supplement the action of the Chamber of Commerce by supplying the teach- ing, whether by training teachers at home or on the Continent, or by aiding the proposed higher commercial school, or by enabling one or more of our higher colleges to give higher instruction in commercial siibjects, or by all of these methods. (2.) One of the greatest evils of the present unorganised and chaotic state of our secondary educa- tion is the multiplicity of examinations on which the schoolmasters have to keep their eye. The tables on p. 171 bring this out very clearly. First there are the examinations which profess to test the whole work of the school or, at least, of certain classes or individual boys, such as those of the Oxford and Cambridge -Joint Board, the Oxford and Cambridge “ Locals,” the College of Preceptors, the London University Matriculation, and so forth. Secondly there are the examinations in special subjects, such as the various open scholarship examinations, or examinations for entrance into various professions— (Woolwich, Sandhurst, Civil Service, &c.), or the Science and Art Examinations. Each of these examina- tions has some peculiarity of its own, and there is hardly any attempt at mutual recognition. It is much to be desired that some one first-rate examination or graduated series of examinations (such as might be conducted by a teaching university in London) should absorb and replace all these various tests. Much has already been done in this direction in Scotland by the institution of the leaving examinations for secondary schools by the Scotch Education Department. To this subject we shall return later. Mean- while, pending so radical a change as is here suggested, the best thing that can be done is for each agency which examines with special reference to some particular part (commercial, scientific, &c.) of the school curriculum to recognise so far as possible the examination of other agencies for the other parts instead of duplicating them. The London Chamber of Commerce rightly refuses to give its junior certificate except to those who can show' that they have received a sound all-round education as w'ell as instruction in special commercial subjects ; and to secure this end it includes such subjects as Science, Latin and drawing in its examinations, with the danger however of adding to the already too great confusion of school examina- tions. It might therefore be sound policy for the Chamber of Commerce to confine its ow'n examination to the more purely commercial subjects, requiring, however, as a condition of entering for their examinations at all, that the boys should have attained a certain standard in the examination of either the London University (Matriculation) or the Oxford and Cambridge Joint Board, or the Oxford or Cambridge “ Locals,” or the College of Preceptors. The examination would thus be two parts, general prelbninarg (conducted by any one of a number of existing agencies) and special final, conducted by the Chamber of Commerce itself. (3.) Since the Society of Arts already covers part of the ground of the proposed Higher Commercial course of the London Chamber of Commerce, the two bodies should negotiate so as if possible to divide the ground instead of overlapping. (4.) A splendid w'ork would be done if several of the scholarships and prizes given by individuals and City firms to successful candidates were consolidated so as to form a few large scholarships (of T80 or LTOO a year for three years) to enable one or two clever lads who have passed the examination w'ith distinction to go to one of the higher commercial institutes on the Continent (Leipsic, Munich, Vienna, Aiitw'erp, &c.) for a couple of years, and afterw'ards become teachers in commercial schools in London. By such means as this we should gradually train a race of teachers w'ho would be acquainted with the best foreign methods and standards of commercial education. If this be done, the Council might contribute an equal amount to that given by private subscription, say up to i“250 a year. These combined sums (up to £500 year) to be employed in founding — (i.) Say, three scholarsbips (one falling vacant every year) of TlOO a year for three years, to enable the boy who passes highest in the junior commercial examination to spend three years at one of the continental higher commercial schools. (ii.) Saj', four scholarships (two a year) of .£50 a year for two years, to enable boys who pass high in the examination to spend two years at the new Higher Commercial School (Central Foundation Schools) v/hen opened. If such action be agreed to by the Chamber of Commerce, the Council would do w'ell to give a further grant (say of £200 for the first year) to them to develop their scheme of examinations on the lines suggested, at least till the proposed teaching university be established. I have already indicated my opinion that any teaching university for London ought to have a faculty of commerce, and give high- class commercial instruction. If this be ever realized, such a university could include commercial sub- jects as optional subjects in the “ leaving examinations ” w'hich it w'ould hold for secondary schools ; and this examination with the commercial certificate granted on its results (analogous to the commercial certificates of the Oxford and Cambridge Joint Board) might absorb that of the London Chamber of Commerce. I recommend that aid be also given, if required, towards the starting of the new' Higher Com- mercial School referred to above, and that this school be recognized as a place of higher education, where scholarships W'on by boys leaving the ordinary secondary schools may be held. The amount of such aid required can only be ascertained when the scheme has made further progress, and no actual sum need be set aside for the purpose for the first year. If, moreover, a department of Commerce, giving systematic teaching in higher commercial subjects, be established in connection with one or more of the Higher Colleges in London, the Council Avould do well to consider seriously the desirability of supporting it, as is proposed below for their more purely technical work. See below under “ Higher Education” (p. 75). There are already in these 46 colleges professorships of French, German, and other modern languages, and of political economy ; and King’s College possesses also a chair of Commerce. There is, however, nothing that can be called a systematic course of day teaching of commercial subjects in either of the colleges, and it should be an essential condition of County Council aid that the teaching should form a regular and systematic college course, with free places as provided in the case of the other technical departments. The above proposals are as will be seen for the encouragement of higher commercial teaching, and the training of teachers. In view of the great amount of elementary commercial teaching already going on on a more or less self-supporting basis in London, I think that capitation grants on such teaching are not a pressing necessity. So far indeed as the Polytechnics are concerned, any grant for the purpose would be included in their general grants. Turning to secondary schools, it is pretty evident that the root difficulty we have to contend with is the want of training for the average teachers of London secondary schools in commercial subjects. To overcome this I propose that the Council should set aside a grant to compensate the managers of secondary schools for the loss entailed by giving, say, six months’ leave of absence to a certain number of selected teachers to enable them to spend some time in one or more of the best continental higher commercial schools, and at the same time to acquaint themselves with the foreign methods of commercial education. No doubt arrangements could be made by the Council, perhaps through the Foreign OlBce, with the authorities of certain of these foreign schools to enable the plan to be carried out. I propose that i6l,000 be set aside for the first year for this purpose. This would enable about 12 teachers to pass six months abroad. The teachers might be nominated by the governors of the schools, and selected finally by a joint Committee of the County Council and Chamber of Commerce. Summary of proposed Grants for Commercial Education. (1.) To London Chamber of Commerce on usual conditions of repre- sentation, &c. — Annual grant for developing examinations, on the lines suggested as above ... ... ... ... L200 Annual grant (to meet an equal sum in private subscrin- tions) to found («) Scholarships tenable at Con- tinental Higher Commercial Schools; (h) Scholarships tenable at the new Higher Commercial School in London, &c. ... ... ... ... 250 (2.) To the Higher Colleges, on condition of forming a distinct and organised Commercial Department, giving as systematic higher teaching as the Foreign Higher Commercial Schools, and with free places for County scholars (as in science and technical departments) , a grant to be determined hereafter (3.) To the new Higher Commercial School, a grant when established to be determined hereafter .. . (4.) To enable managers of secondary schools to give six months’ leave of absence to a few selected teachers to enable them to pass some time in foreign Higher Commercial Schools ... ... 1,000 Total ... ... ... LH,450 I have left the grants under heads (2) and (3) undetermined. If a sum of L‘2,000 be set aside for commercial instruction for the first year, it will probably meet the necessities of the case. 46 XII.— THE TEACHIXa OF HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY IN LONDON. I.— General Principles. Domestic service is not only by far the largest women’s industry in London, but the largest of any single group of industries either for men or women, employing no fewer than 250,000 w’omen and girls. When it is added that the greater number of girls who pass through our elementary schools will become managers of households of their own, it is clear that a knowledge of “household economy” and domestic management is by far the most important branch of technical training for girls and women. The numbers of girls and women engaged in other forms of industry are given in detail on p. 92, from which it will be seen that if we except such subjects as cookery, dressmaking and millinery, laundry work, domestic hygiene, and so forth, which fall under the general title of “household economy,” the remaining wants of women with regard to technical training can be met to a great extent (though not entirely) by the ordinary classes in art, science, commercial subjects, &c., &c., which are open to both sexes alike. The present section is therefore confined entirely to the special subjects applicable (chiefly) to women.* The greater part of what is contained in the following pages is based on a detailed report compiled for the purpose of this report by Miss E. K. Forsyth, who formerly directed the “Forsyth Technical College for Women,” and who has visited a great number of the most important existing classes for domestic instruction in London. I have also had the advantage of the advice of Miss Margaret Sewell, head of the women’s university settlement in Bermondsey, Miss Clara Collet, one of the Assistant Commissioners on women’s work of the Labour Commission, and others. In dealing with subjects such as these, it is more than ever necessary to keep in view the wide difference of the objects at which the teaching may aim. For example, cookery may be taught as a form of technical training for the high class professional cook. Or again, the teaching may aim at training for ordinary domestic service, the examples of dishes, &c., being chosen with reference to the standard of living and customs of the class of persons who keep servants ; or thirdly, the aim may be the teaching of artisan cookery, with a view of improving the standard of cookery in the actual homes of the pupils themselves. Clearly the examples chosen for the last mentioned purpose will differ considerably from those employed in teaching future servants, still more from the training of the professional cook. We have to distinguish them, (1) cookery as a business, (2) cookery as part of domestic service, (3) cookery as part of household management. Again, dressmaking or millinery may be taught as a “ technological ’’ subject, as part of the training of dressmakers or milliners ; or as a branch of household economy. The same applies to laundry work. Yet another kind of class which should be distinguished from all the above, is the normal training class for teachers, in which not only cookery, dressmaking, &c., should be taught, but an insight given into the art and methods of teaching these subjects both to children and adults. A teacher of cookery for example, should not only know how to cook, and how to manage a class of girls, but should have some knowledge of the ways of life and habits which prevail in the homes from which the girls come ; the dishes to which they are accustomed, the limitations of their cooking apparatus and fireplaces, the customs and prejudices of the poor with regard to buying and cooking food, &c., &c. They should in fact, either by reason of being drawn from the same class themselves or by means of practical contact gained in some other way, be familiar with the inside of a workman’s home, before they begin teaching his wife and daughters how and what to cook. Otherwise little will come of the teaching of cookery as a part of household economy, though it may be a useful preparation for domestic service. It will be seen below that the training of domestic teachers is in an extremely unsatisfactory state at present, and that the supply of this want is on the whole the most useful service which the County Council can render. II.— Existing Facts. The existing agencies in London for instruction in household economy may be classified as follows — (1.) The London School Board and managers of voluntary schools teach cookery, laundry work, and needlework, or some of these subjects in day and evening schools. (2.) The Joint Committee of the School Board, City and Guilds Institute, and Drapers’ Company (to which a County Council representative has just been added) is carrying on an experiment in housewifery instruction in William-street Board School. (3.) The Polytechnics (Regent-street, People’s Palace, Goldsmiths’ Institute, and Borough-road), have departments of household economy, teaching cookery, laundry work, dressmaking, millinery, &c., or some of those subjects. To these should be added the classes endowed under the Campden Trust in cookery and dress- making. (4.) Several institutions and societies which conduct girls’ clubs, homes, &c., hold classes in connection with them for domestic instruction. The most important of these are — The Girls’ Friendly Society. 'J'he “Young Women’s Christian xYssociation.” The Recreative Evening Schools Association (Girls’ Evening Homes in Board Schools. Certain separate clubs, e.y., St. Bride’s Club, Wantage Club, West Kensington Club for Working Girls, Ac. * I say “ chiefly ” because cookery classes for hoys about to be sea-cooks would be very useful iii the port of liondon, and the proposals to aid the teaching of cookery made below are intended to include such teaching. 47 (5.) Institutions which train or provide teachers. The most important in London is the National Training School of Cookery in Buckingham Palace-road. The Hampstead School of Cookery provides teachers for elementary schools. The Institute for the Advancement of Plain Needlework provides teachers of dressmaking, &c. We may take these agencies in order. 1. — The School Board for London has 89 cookery “ centres ” and 8 class-rooms. The number of girls in the day-schools who attended cookery teaching in the year ended March, 1892, was about 26,000, the course lasting about six months, so that between 13,000 and 14,000 were attending at any one time. The Board employs four superintendents, with districts under their charge, 96 permanent, instructors, and 17 probationers. Each centre supplies the needs of several neighbouring schools, and, as a rule, accommodates 12 children actually practising cookery at the same time. The centres are open to children from non- Board schools under certain conditions, and on the payment of a fee. 176 non-Board scholars received instruction in Board centres. The instruction in these centres for day-scholars is almost entirely for children in the standards of the Board schools, and hence outside the scope of the Loudon County Council. The kitchens and arrangements in general are very good and practical, being sufficiently “ model” without being luxurious. The greatest weakness is the small number of lessons given to the same child — 40 hours’ instruction can only be enough to give a smattering of knowledge. The School Board is projecting the erection of new centres, 70 having been sanctioned by the Education Department. Laundry ivork. — There are 18 ‘‘laundry” centres under the Board, attended by about 1,300 children in any one week. The Board employs a superintendent of laundry work, 19 permanent instructors, and 15 probationers. The centres are worked under regulations very similar to those for cookery, each being available as a rule for a group of schools. The arrangements for the laundry work are very good, the subject seems to be growing in popularity, and the number of centres is gradually increasing. Each child goes through a course of 12 lessons (or 20 hours’ work) and the classes are limited to 14 pupils. Both cookery and laundry-work receive a grant from the Education Department. Houseivifery — The class in housewifery, held in the William-street Board School (under the Joint Committee named above), is best described here, as it is part of the education of Board School children. Practical cleaning and management of an artizan’s dwelling are taught to a voluntary class of about 30 day scholars from the fourth standard and upwards. “ It is impossible,” says Miss Forsyth, “to praise this class too highly. It is a class which depends almost entirely on the efficiency of its teacher, but if the present teacher trains the instructresses for future and similar classes, the effect of such teaching on the school-girl cannot fail to be permanently valuable.” A few voluntary schools holding cookery classes have been visited, but there were no special features calling for remark. All the above classes being for children in the Standards are only of importance for our purpose from the light they throw on the kind of training required for teachers, and the foundation they afford for continuation classes. 2. — Evening Elementary Schools — Thirty-five of the School Board cookery centres are open in the evenings, with about 600 girls on the rolls, and an average attendance (for the week ending October 1st, 1892) of about 500. Last year the percentage of average attendance of the number on the rolls was 60‘7. The greatest difficulty met with in these classes arises out of the difference of ages and of previous knowledge of the subject among the pupils. 3. — Polytechnics. — All the polytechnic institutes give some kind of domestic instruction. At the Goldsmiths’ Institute at New Cross, there are classes for cookery, dressmaking, and millinery. The dressmaking classes are very full, being attended last year by 510 students. There were 190 attending for cookery, and 171 for millinery, besides large classes in ambulance, nursing, and art needlework. The arrangements are good and practical. At the People’s Palace, the cookery arrangements are elaborate, and besides the usual cookery classes there are some teachers in training, whom it is hoped that the Education Department will recognise. The dressmaking classes were attended last year by 220, the millinery classes by 85, the cookery classes by about 80, and the laundry class by 15. At the Polytechnic in Kegent-street there are classes in cookery attended by 221, in dressmaking by 121, and in millinery by 97. There are also classes in sewing machine (41 students), and ambulance and sick nursing (270 students). In the summer when the institute was visited, the cookery class was attended by 51 students of the following occupations — Cooks ... ... ... ... ... 12 Dressmakers ... ... ... ... ... 7 Milliners ... ... ... ... ... 2 Clerks ... ... ... ... ... 5 Teachers ... ... ... ... ... 5 Married or at home ... ... ... ... 20 Type-writer and letter-writer ... ... ... 2 Retoucher ... ... ... ... ... 1 U nknown ... ... ... ... ... 3 57 Here, and at many other centres, the teaching is a good deal the teaching of recipes rather than of principles, but (perhaps for this reason) it is popular. 48 The Borongh-road Institute has arranged for classes in cookery, laundry-work, dressmaking and artistic needlework, which have just commenced. The arrangements are excellent, but of course it is too soon to judge of the classes. I should like to emphasise here as elsewhere, the fact that artistic needlework should be taught if at all in close connection with the school of art. The “ Campden Trust ” classes are held in All Saints’ school, Kensington-park-road. Cookery and dressmaking are taught, about sixty girls attending for each subject. The classes are supported by endowment, and are open to girls over 12 living in the parish of Kensington who have attended or attend a public elementary school, and to others on payment of higher fees. There is an idea of moving these classes into the polytechnic contemplated for that neighbourhood, when it is ready to receive them. Evening classes in dressmaking attended by girls, are held at the Westminster Technical Institute, the Westminster branch of the Kecreative Evening Schools Association, the North-east London, Highbury and other Institutes, the Morley Memorial College, and elsewhere. Cookery and millinery are taught in a smaller number of these institutes. 4. — Girls' Clubs and Institutes . — The institutions named above are doing good work, which deserves encouragement, but I do not think that either they or the School Board classes will ever cover the whole ground. Whatever difference of opinion there may be as to the policy in general of combining educational and social work, there can be no doubt that the readiest and most certain means of making simple domestic teaching accessible to the mass of working girls is to utilise, at least to some extent, the machinery of the various girls’ clubs, institutes, homes, friendly societies, &c., scattered over London. Some of these institutes have a religious or even a denominational basis {e.ij., the Girls’ Friendly Society), and in these cases ample guarantees must, of course, be taken that no religious distinctions are allowed so far as the classes are concerned, and that these classes are open to all. I understand, however, that there is no difficulty on the part of the Girls’ Friendly Society in complying with this condition. The advantages of working partly through these societies is that the classes are practically guaranteed without the trouble of advertising and the danger of disappointment. The Girl’s Friendly Society has over 100 London branches, at 45 of which domestic classes of some kind are already carried on as follows — No. of Classes. Needlework ... ... ... ... ... 20 Cookery ... ... ... ... ... 11 Sick-nursing ... ... ... ... ... ' 1 Dressmaking ... ... ... ... ... 4 Laundry work ... ... ... ... ... 2 Ambulance ... ... ... ... ... 5 The occupations of members of a number of branches have been tabulated as follows — Dressmakers and milliners ... ... ... 1,268 Shop assistants... ... ... ... ... 272 Living at home or serving in retail shops ... ... 329 Teachers in elementary schools ... ... ... 246 Trained nurses ... ... ... ... ... 86 Clerks ... ... ... ... ... 65 Restaurant servers ... ... ... ... 37 Others ... ... ... ... ... 90 2,393 The classes are conducted to a great extent by voluntary teachers, with of course the usual difficulties met with under these circumstances. The society is desirous that the County Council should provide, either through their organisation or outside it, cookery and domestic teaching suitable for its members, but not of course confined to them. Mrs. Symes Thompson, the head of the industrial department, is confident that she can fill a large number of classes with scholars if the County Council will provide the teaching. Turning to other agencies we have the Recreative Evening Schools Association with its “ girls’ evening homes,” chiefly held in Board schools. There are five cookery classes and two dressmaking classes, entirely taught by volunteers. These “ homes ” are in addition to a few' classes in dress- making, Ac., held in evening schools by the association. The Young Women’s Christian Association holds classes in cookery, dressmaking, ambulance, and domestic economy, as follows — No. of Classes. Dressmaking 9 Cookery 4 Ambulance 2 Domestic economy 1 The classes are held in the various institutes connected wdth the association, and are conducted under an educational committee. They are open to all young women, whether or not associates of the “ Y. W. C. A.” The teachers are paid. Classes in various domestic subjects are also held in various girls’ clubs, some with paid teachers, others voluntary. The voluntary teaching is usually rather casual and disappointing. On the whole, I am of opinion that a great work might be done if the Council were in this matter to follow’ the example of many provincial county and borough councils, and itself engage a small staff of well-qualifietl teachers, and allow them to hold classes in any working girls’ club or institute, the authorities of which will provide suitable accommodation, make the necessary arrangements, provide for all expenses except the teaching, and guarantee a certain minimum attendance. The classes must be open to all (on payment of a small fee, not more than Is. for a course of a dozen or more lessons) without religious distinctions of any kind. If these conditions be complied with, and the Council itself employ the teachers, there is ample guarantee against any infringement of the conscience clause of the Technical Instruction Act. The subjects taught at first should he cookery, dressmaking, domestic economy, and the laws of health, with, perhaps, laundry work, ambulance, and sick nursing. If the Council adopt proposals for the training of teachers, an ample supply of well-qualified teachers of these subjects will be torthcoming in a year’s time. Meanwhile, for the coming spring, the work can be tentative and experimental, about 10 or 15 classes only being opened, which could be taught by two or three teachers, each teacher taking classes on five evenings in the week. In this way, if the teachers be carefully chosen, the plan may he tested, and the scheme developed hereafter in accordance with the experience gained. There may be some cases in which it will be more desirable to utilise an existing teacher instead of sending the County Council’s instructor. In such a case, a grant calculated just to cover the instructor’s fee may be made, but no grant should be given unless the teacher is fully qualified, and is paid for her services. Such a grant might be made to the School Board on account of ex-Standard pupils of evening schools, if desired. Cookery as a Business.— The above proposals relate primarily to the teaching of domestic subjects for artisan homes, not to the professional training of cooks and seiwants. With regard to the latter (which we may call the “ technological ” teaching of cookery). Miss Harrison, Her Majesty’s Inspectress of Cookery, is interested in promoting an experiment for the teaching of cookery as a business to a limited number of girls who have left elementary schools. The teaching would be very thorough and systematic, under the superintendence of “chefs” and acknowledged experts, and the kitchen would be started if possible in connection with or near to some public office, where a large staff of persons dine in the middle of the day, so that the girls could be taught the preparation of real dinners, and the produce would be disposed of at a profit. It would in fact be an “ ecole d’apprentissage ” for cooks. If it could be conducted in such a way as not to fall under the prohibitory clause of the Technical Instruction Act forbidding aid to be given to the teaching of trades, such an experiment' aa Miss Harrison contemplates tnight well receive some moderate help from the Council, at all events towards equipment. Training Institutions. The most important training institution in London in domestic subjects is the National Training School of Cookery in Buckingham Palace-road. This school, after occupying for fourteen years buildings at South Kensington, was moved to the present huilding in 1889. It discharges a twofold function — (1) the training of cooks and of amateurs in high class cookery, (2) the training of teachers of cookery. There are also classes of children from elementary schools for the purpose of enabling students in training to practise teaching. The school is confined to the teaching of cookery, and does not provide for other domestic subjects. Owing partly to the rapid increase in the demand for teachers, the strictly educational part of the school’s work has increased of late faster than the other departments, and some attempt is now made to train teachers in melhocl as well as in cooking. The course for a teacher of plain cookery lasts for six months, the fee being T13 13s. This fee, however, may be reduced or foregone altogether in the case of students who obtain votes from subscribers, which “ must be applied for by the student.” The diploma of the school is awarded to those who pass “ in cooking, class teaching, and in teaching by demonstration both adults and classes of school children, also the theoretical examination.” Last year there were about 100 pupils training for teachers at the same time, besides a lai’ge number of other students attending the school for shorter or longer periods. The fees for the ordinary cookery classes are high, and the school does not expect County Council aid on their account, but appeals for assistance to carry on the work of training teachers. The chief w'eakness of the training classes hitherto has been the absence of the systematic teaching of method, a want, however, which the school authorities are now trying to meet. The Council ought certainly to insist on this point, since many well qualified cooks are unable to teach effectively. More attention ought, moreover, to be paid to the circumstances and limitations of the average workman’s home and means in devising the scheme of teaching.* Other Training Institutions . — The London Institute for the Advancement of Plain Needle- work examines and grants diplomas for teaching of dress-cutting, and does a limited amount of teaching work. The City and Guilds Institute has just included a syllabus of dress-making in its programme of examinations, on much the same lines as the scheme of the Institute of Needlework. Mrs. Grenfell, the hon. secretaiy, is desirous of developing the teaching side of the work, at all events for a time, so as to turn out a supply of competent teachers for the use of the County Council. One or two agencies such as the Hampstead School of Cookery supply teachers to elementary schools. Projected new developments. — In my opinion there is abundant evidence that the existing supply of agencies for the training of teachers of domestic subjects in London is utterly inadequate. The demand for cookery teachers already outruns the supply, and if the County Council take uj) the * By this I do not mean that the dishes taught should be confined necessarily to those habitually used by working-class families, but that the teachers should at least know something of the interior of the homes of the pupils whom they are teaching. m 50 work of techiiiciil ee self-supporting (the. buildings being supposed to be provided free). It is important that if day-schools be carried on, they be planned as secondary schools on sound educational lines. I recommend that any grants on account of secondary day-schools held in Polytechnic buildings be made quite independently of the grants recommended in this section, and be calculated according to the scale and subject to the conditions laid down for secondary schools on page Junior sections . — The endowments of the ])olytechnic8 under the Charity Comiuissioners’ Schemes are confined in the main to the benefit of persons between the ages of 16 and 25. The 60 establislimeut, however, of “junior sections’’ for boys and girls of 13 to 16 is contemplated in the schemes as a subordinate department of the work of the institutes. The People’s Palace is, I believe, the only polytechnic which has hitherto done anything in the direction, and there it has not been so successful as other branches of the work. Yet there is a gap of three years which it is most important to fill. There must be many boys and girls in London — e.g., many of the boys and girls who have gone through the special class of the Board in drawing, modelling, cookery, or manual work — who on leaving school want more systematic and thorough teaching in the evening than they can get at the ordinary Board evening class. There is very little provision for the w^ants of these children in London, and the polytechnics might do much hy means of junior sections to provide for them. Such classes, however, need for their successful working at least as much care and energy as any other department of the polytechnic work. If taken up at all, they must not he treated as a casual or subordinate branch, or they will certainly fail. I do not propose to allocate any specific portion of the County Council grant for the purpose of the junior sections, but merely to recommend to the Governors the desirability of establishing junior classes as soon as possible. Proposed Annual Grant . — The principle then on which I recommend the Council to proceed in allotting annual grants to the polytechnics, is that of a minimum annual grant with certain additions to those institutes which conform to special conditions. The great merit of this plan as compared with a capitation grant is that it gives the institutes financial stability. Such a plan may he impracticable where the schools or classes are small, scattered, and disorganised ; but it is at once the simplest and the most economical in the case of a large institute managed by a public Committee, where the Council may take ample guarantees against the misuse of its funds. Of course in the case of the People’s Palace and the Goldsmiths’ Institute the question of an annual grant will not arise. In the case of the others the grant I recommend is as follows : — (i.) A sum of £1,000 a year for the general educational work of the institute so far as it comes within the meaning of the Technical Instruction Acts. Conditions attached — {a) The representation of the Council on the Governing Body of the Institute as required by the Technical Instruction Acts, and audit of accounts. [h) All the technical classes of the Institute to be open at all times to the County Council’s representatives, and an annual written report showing the work of the Institute and the mode of expenditure of the grant to be presented to the Council. (c) (In the case of all Institutes not yet opened) , that the conditions laid down below, as to the appointment of principal or heads of departments be complied with. {d) That so soon and so far as practicable, junior evening classes be established for boys and girls under 16. (e) That no extra annual grants made or voted by the Central Governing Body be with- drawn or curtailed as a consequence of these grants, and that in case of any revision of such annual grants the above grants from the County Council be also revised in consultation with the Central Governing Body. (ii.) A sum of £500 a year towards the payment of the salary of a principal of the educational work of the Institute, or towards the payment of heads of the art, science and other departments, as specified above. (hi.) A sum of £500 a year towards the maintenance of an advanced department of applied science, bearing on some local industry, under the control of a well qualified instructor who gives all his time to the work of the institute. (iv.) A grant for day secondary schools held in polytechnic buildings on the scale recommended in section 14. (v.) Special grants for certain special additional lines of work {e.g., normal classes in the day for domestic subjects, as recommended on p. 49) to be made in addition to grants here recommended, according to the circumstances of the case. 10. Capital Grants . — There remains the question of capital grants. I see no reason to depart from the rule adhered to in other parts of this scheme of refusing all grants for building for the present, and, indeed, so far as the institutes not yet opened are concerned, I do not think that it would be legal to make a grant towards the building of an institute not managed by the Council and not already giving technical education. On the other hand, a substantial grant for equipment, apparatus, &c., would appear to be warranted, such apparatus, &c., remaining the property of the County Council. Grants for equipment are the safest kind of grant ta make, and as a rule are the most fertile in good results. There is no part of the expense of an institute so necessary if the standai’d of work is to be maintained, and none which is more generally cut down and starved. I recommend that £10,000 be set aside the first year for the purpose of meeting ap 2 )lications for aid under this head from the Borough-road Institute, Regent-street Polytechnic, the City Polytechnic, and any of the new institutes which may require such aid within the year. Part of this sum should be specially devoted to equipping the advanced departments suggested above. I have intimated above that in my opinion no grant could be legally made to the Committees of Polytechnics not yet started. When, however, the North and North-West London Institutes are ready to begin work, equipment and maintenance gi’ants in accoi'dance with the above scale shonld be made to them. Meanwhile the Trustees of the City Parochial Charities have it in their power to assist the Committees to raise funds for building, and would do good work by so helping them, in view of the increasing difiiculty of raising subscriptions for such an object. 61 Besides the Polytechnics endowed out of the City Parochial Charities’ Funds, there is a useful institution at Woolwich which is modelled somewhat on the same lines, though unendowed, called the “ Woolwich Polytechnic.” As at present organised, it would receive aid under the present scheme as a collection of science and art classes ; but if, as appears likely, it receives an endowment from the Trustees of the City Parochial Charities, and definitely conforms to the regulations of the Polytechnic schemes, it may, I think, be well treated as a ‘‘ Polytechnic ” by the Council, receiving a grant on the same principles, though on a smaller scale, than that recommended above.

I.— General Principles. “The best preparation for technical study is a good modern secondary school,” said the Royal Commissioners on Technical Instruction, and they went on to deplore, in the interests of technical education, the paucity and uneven character of such schools in England compared with the continent, concluding that “ we must look to some public measure to supply this, the greatest defect of our educational system.” This central fact, which is clearly recognised in Germany, France and Switzerland, where technical education is more highly organised than with us, was also expressed by Matthew Arnold, in one of his last utterances. “ The technical school,” he said, “is, in fact, a secondary school to follow the elementary school, after some manual training has there been acquired. But our secondary instruction is a chaos ; unless, therefore, we organised the technical school within the sphere of our primary instruction, which is not desirable, w'e have no means of organising it at all.” Until, then, this gap is filled, we cannot expect our special technical institutions, from the higher colleges to the polytechnics, to do all the work of which they are capable. The universal complaint of the teachers at these institutions is the want of preparation of their students. In the interests, then, of our scheme for specific technical instruction, we are forced to survey the whole field of secondary education, and to take all steps which are possible, within the Technical Instruction Acts, for its improvement and development. We do not want to wrest siach secondary schools as exist from their proper functions, and compel them to become, in the strictest sense, “ technical schools,” but we want to provide the means to enable the best of them at least to adequately fulfil the purpose of continuation schools for elementary scholars • — carrying such scholars over the gap of two or three years, which now often intervenes between the primary school and the workshop, and giving them, by means of a good “ modern ” course of instruction, including drawing, science, and manual training, the best general preparation for an industrial or commercial career. This applies to the mass of London secondary schools which carry on boys to 15 or 16 — the “ second-grade ” schools of the Schools Inquiry Commission. Besides these, there are a smaller number of “ first-grade schools ” to be considered, of a more costly character, and with a higher standard of teaching power, and carrying on pupils to the age of 17 or 18, corresponding to the “High School” at Birmingham, the Lycee or College Chaptal of Paris, or the Gymnasium and Industrie-Schule of Zurich; as the other schools correspond to the Grammar Schools of Birmingham, the Ecoles Primaires Superieures of Paris, or the Secundarschule of Ziirich. And lastU, there are the higher departments of elementary schools. These are in a sense with- in the sphere of primary instruction, and do, or might do, the work assigned originally by the schools inquiry Commission to “ third-grade ” secondary schools. They are an outgrowth of our elementary school system, and though they can of course never occupy the field of secondary education proper, they may if kept closely in touch with the primary schools, discharge a very useful function. The work of the primary school proper ends at the seventh standard. Beyond that, unless a higher department is definitely organised under capable teaching, the pupils waste their time by staying on. It is at this point, where the grants of the Education Department cease, that the powers of the County Council to aid technical education begin, and at all events until a sufficient supply of efficient secondary schools can be oi’ganised, the Council would do well to recognise and develop these higher departments. In surveying the field of secondary education in London and framing a scheme for developing it as the foundation of technical education, the Council would do well to keep in view, at least j^rovisionally, the three main groups of schools specified above. That a sharp line can always be drawn between them, that none of the schools in the three divisions overlap, it is of course impossible to say. It is possible that as years go on, the need of higher departments in primary schools may gradually disappear, as the connection between our primary and secondary school systems becomes stronger. For our present purpose however the provisional classification is useful and necessary.* Before passing on to the description of existing secondary schools in London, there is one main principle to be laid down. Such schools if dealt with at all must be dealt with as a whole. The grant may indeed be calculated on part only of their pupils, but it must not be split up and assigned to specific subjects in the curriculum. Otherwise the school will cease to be a “ school ” and resolve itself into a collection of classes, with a tendency to crush out all subjects on which grant is not jjaid, and swell unnaturally those parts of the curriculum recognised by the County Council. This baneful tendency is only too apparent in science schools, which earn the greater part of their grant on the results of science and art examinations. The County Council had better leave the whole thing alone than deal with secondary education in this way. In saying this I do not forget that the County Council aid is limited to certain subjects of science, art, commerce, &c., and of course must be given on condition that these parts of the school curriculum are efficiently taught. But having been laid down, and guarantees having been taken for their observance, let tbe grant be made as a whole. II. — Existing Facts. There are at present 45 secondary schools for boys in London under some kind of public management, including proprietary schools earning a dividend, and hence excluded by the Technical Instruction Acts. * This classification is not quite the same as the three-fold classification of Secondary Schools by the Schools Inquiry Commission. The 1st grade, 2nd grade and 3rd grade schools were all intended to be above and apart from primary schools. Experience has proved that there is only room for two, not for three grades of secondary schools, and even this cleavage may be only provisional. On the other hand, the field mapped out for the “ 3rd grade ” school is being covered by the higher classes formed at the top of primary schools. Of these one (Christ’s Hospital) is in a state of transition, a new scheme having lately come into force for its conversion into day and boarding schools for boys and girls. Another endowed school (St. Saviour’s, Southwark) has also a new scheme pending, and at present is very small. Two more (the Merchant Taylors’ School and the Mercers’ School, College-hill) are supported without schemes, by City companies out of their corporate funds, and are regarded by these companies as their private property. One, the City of London School, is managed by the City Corporation under a special Act of Parliament ; and one (Westminster School) is governed by a scheme of the Public Schools Commission. Tw'enty-five (besides Christ’s Hospital) are subject to schemes of the Charity Commission (Endowed Schools Department) ; one (Godolphin School, Hammersmith) to a scheme of the Court of Chancery ; two (People’s Palace and Regent-street Polytechnic) are attached to polytechnics governed by schemes of the City Parochial Charities Department of the Charity Commission ; two (University College School and King’s College School) to higher colleges incorporated by Charter ; one to a Training College (St. Mark’s College Upper School) ; while one (the Philological School, Marylebone) is managed by a company not for profit (under section 23 of the Limited Companies Act), and one (William Ellis School) a modern foundation, is managed by trustees. This makes a total of 38 schools not conducted for private profit. There remain two schools (Kentish Town and Clapham) under the Boys’ Public Day School Company, Limited; two (at Woolwich and Brockley) under the Church Schools Company, Limited ; and three, viz., Blackheath Proprietary School, Islington High School, St. Peter’s College, Brockley, which are managed by separate limited companies. In addition to these secondary schools there are several public elementary schools with higher departments, both under the Board and voluntary management. Of the above 45 secondary schools the seven conducted for private profit are clearly ineligible for aid without altering their constitution. The two schools supported by the corporate funds of City companies, the City of London School managed by the Corporation, and the People’s Palace School maintained (in common with the whole institute) by an endowment assigned by the Drapers’ Company, may also be set aside as unlikely either to apply for or to receive grants from the Council, and we may also for the present disregard the two endowed schools in a transition state, one of these (Christ’s Hospital) being a very rich foundation, and the other (St. Saviour’s, Southwark) as yet without a scheme. Again, Westminster School, which is a public school, can hardly be regarded as forming part of the secondary school supply of Loudon, and I have made no inquiries concerning it. King’s College School is ruled out by the absence of conscience clause. There remain thirty schools eligible for aid, so far as their governing bodies are concerned. Of these 30 schools, four, viz., Dulwich College, St. Paul’s School, University College School and St. Dunstan’s College, Catford-bridge, come under the head of “ high schools ” as defined above.* The fees charged at these schools vary from £12 to £25 4s. a year. The remaining 26 are “second-grade” schools, charging fees varying from i;3 a year up to i£12 l2s.,t but averaging about a£6 a year. Three of these 26 schools are governed (as trirsts under schemes of the Charity Commissioners) by the courts of City companies, viz.. Stationers’ School, Bolt-court, the Grocers’ School, Hackney, and Colfe’s School, Lewisham (Leathersellers) . 20 are governed by mixed bodies of governors under schemes of the Charity Commissioners or Chancery, containing as a rule representatives of publicly elected boards ; one by trustees of a modern endowment not under scheme, one by managers of a training- college, and one by a company “ not for profit.” These schools are very irregularly distributed about London as is shown by the following table, showing the attendance at London secondary schools under some kind of public management in the various School Board districts of London per 1,000 of the population. Though only approximately correct, it tells the tale sufficiently exactly for our purpose. The unevenness of distribution will be slightly rectified by the contemplated removal of the Stationers’ School to the north-west district, the establishment of the day science school contemplated under the Christ’s Hospital Scheme, and the removal of the Mercers’ School from College-hill.

The Leathersellers’ Company have built the new buildings of Colfe’s school out of their corporate funds, the annual endowment being a trust administered by them. Some of the secondary schools for boys which go byname of City companies (Coopers’ School, Mile End, Haberdashers’ (Aske’s) Schools at Hoxton and Hatcham, &c., are governed by mixed bodies of governors, on which the companies are represented. They are not supported by the corporate funds of the companies, and stand on precisely the same footing with regard to the County Council as any other schools governed by mixed bodies of managers. 64 In appendices G, H, J, and K, very full particulars are given with regard to all of the 45 secondary schools which have supplied detailed returns. From these appendices, the fees, the numbers and ages of the pupils, the income and expenditure of the schools, the subjects of instruction, and the time devoted to each, the examinations prepared for, and the number of successes in each, can be exactly ascertained. These appendices, therefore, go far to supply materials for forming a judgment as to the work attempted by each school. But besides tabulating these particulars, the technical work, especially the teaching of science, has been inspected in 30 of the schools, including the great majority of those doing any kind of practical science work.* The reports on individual schools, made as the result of this inspection, will be of great aid in the future, when the Council actually begins the work of organisation. It is not necessary or desirable in a preliminary report of this kind to attempt to pass a detailed judgment on the exact relative merits of schools working at present under such diverse conditions, and equipped Avith such unequal resources. A few words, however, must be said of individual schools before passing to some general considerations suggested by the general tone of the reports. (1) High Schools— T\xe best science and technical teaching in day schools in London is naturally being given in the schools which we have classified as “ High Schools.” St. Dunstan’s College is a new school, having only been opened about three years. It has splendid chemical and physical laboratories, a fair engineering department, and good worjishop for manual training. The system of teaching seems to be well thought out, and the school, though young, is doing excellent work. Dulwich College has a good engineering school with a definite three years’ course, a fair chemical laboratory, a well equipped physical laboratory, and good engineering workshops. Except for the 60 boys on the engineering side and about 20 others regular drawing teaching unfortunately ceases beyond the junior school. At University College School also drawing becomes an extra after the junior school, but about half the school take freehand and 40 machine drawing. There is here a well-fitted chemical laboratory, and practical physics work is done in part of the lecture-room. There is a carpenter’s shop in which about 40 boys work out of school hours, but no graduated scheme of manual instruction. There is great freedom to parents to choose the subjects which their sons shall learn. St. Paul’s School, Hammersmith, is noted for the number of successes in science scholarships and examinations gained by its boys. There is a large and well equipped chemical laboratory, and the rudiments of a physical laboratory. There is a science side of the school with some 300 boys, d’hore is a well equipped art room, and modelling is taught to some extent. The wood workshop, however (as usual in secondary schools), is used rather for recreative than educational purposes. There are 164 free scholars, but few, if any, from elementary schools. Merchant Taylors’ School is a strictly Church of England School. It has a good chemical laboratory, and a “ modern ” side. Drawing is taught throughout the junior school, and to part of the modern side. The City of London School is managed by a Committee of the City Corporation. The senior school is divided into three divisions, classical, modeim, and scientific, the boys in the last-named division giving most of their time to mathematics, chemistry and physics, with voluntary classes in machine-drawing and workshop practice, in which, however, there is little system as yet. There is a good-sized chemical laboratory, and a physical laboratory is now in process of organisation, and appears to be in a fair way to do excellent work. At King’s College School a laboratory has lately been fitted up under a new science master. There are voluntary classes in wood and metal-work in the King’s College workshops. Like almost all the workshops in secondary schools, the manual work is at present unsystematic, but is capable of being made into an educational course. The science work was in a transition state when the school was visited. The school is distinctively Church of England, and hence debarred from County Council aid, which indeed it does not seek. Whether County Scholarships could be tenable at such a school among others is a point of law which I do not feel competent to decide. In principle I see no objection to such a course, since if there are plenty of alternative undenominational schools, no parents need choose King’s College School for their sons who do not wish for the Church teaching. The above “ first gi-ade ” schools do not for the most seek pecuniary aid, but the science or modern sides of most of them should be recognised as first-grade schools, at which county scholarships should be tenable. (2) Second Grade Schools . — Of the “ second grade ” schools which form the bulk of the provision for secondary education in London, sixteen are fitted with chemical laboratories of greater or less degrees of efficiency. In one case, however (St. Mark’s College Upper School), the laboratory at present is quite unused. In addition to these, one school (Colfe’s School, Lewisham) has a laboratory built but not fitted up. One other school (Whitechapel Foundation) is about to erect new buildings with a laboratory, and another (Battersea Grammar School) is now ei’ecting buildings in which a laboratory could be included. The laboratories vary very greatly in excellence, some (as at Alleyn’s School, Dulwich, Aske’s School, Hatcham ; the People’s Palace, the Parmiter School, &c.) being good and well fitted, while others (as at Cowper-street ; Emanuel School ; Aske’s School, Hoxton ; Wilson’s School, Camberwell, Ac.), are but indiflerent. The length of time given per week to practical and theoretical chemistry in each school may be seen from the Appendix p. 149. ’ The quality of the teaching also varies very greatly. In the majority of the schools practical chemistry means merely qualitative analysis. There are experimental practical courses at a few schools * By Mr. C. W. Kimmiiis, M.A., D.Sc., Fellow of Downing College, Cambridge, and Mr. A. P. Laurie, M. A., B.Sc., Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge. Go {e.g., The United Westminster School, Alleyn’s School, Dulwich, and Aske’s School, Hatcham), including preparation of gases and salts, weighing, &c., beside the usual test-tube work. For the most part, however, the chemical laboratories are occupied solely with the teaching of qualitative analysis. With few exceptions, the schools without laboratories are doing little science teaching of any great value. There is a small physical laboratory for four or six boys at the Aske’s School, Hatcham, and the rudiments of a physical laboratory at the William Ellis School. Some of the Polytechnic Day boys use the physical laboratory of the Polytechnic. In Manual Work, on the whole, secondary schools fall behind the elementary schools. In thirteen of the second-grade schools, there is some kind of manual work, but in most cases it is optional, and the teaching very slipshod and unsystematic ; sometimes the carpenter who does repairs, &c. in the school, teaches a few boys rough carpentry. At five of the twelve schools the workshop work may be dismissed as of no educational value. As to the others, there are wood, metal, and blacksmiths’ workshops at the United Westminster Schools, but not much system in the teaching. The same remark applies to the wood work at Aske’s School, Hatcham, and Emanuel School. At the Polytechnic and People’s Palace day schools, the boys use the wood and metal shojis of those Institutions, and there is a graduated course of exercises. At the Aske’s School, Hoxton, and William Ellis School, there are also a graduated courses of teaching in the carpenters’ shops, and excellent manual work is being done at the Whitechapel Foundation School, which, pending the erection of workshops, sends boys of its upper forms to the neighbouring Whitechapel Craft School. On the whole, our secondary schools in London have not for the most part grasped the idea of manual work as an educational subject. It is still mixed up with the teaching of carpentry or regarded as a mere amusement. In several of the London schools it is at present doing as much harm as good, viewed from an educational standpoint. If any aid is given to this work, the County Council should insist on systematic and graduated teaching on educational lines. Drawing is taught more or less at all the secondary schools, and, in the majority of cases, throughout the whole school. At the United Westminster Schools, Alleyn’s School, and Aske’s School, Hatcham, and Cowper Street, there are special art rooms (in the last-mentioned case the gallery of the great hall is used for this purpose). At Wilson’s Grammar School the great hall is used for drawing teaching ; in most of the remaining schools it is taught in the ordinary class-rooms. Stress is laid on mechanical or building drawing in a few schools [e.g. People’s Palace) . At Cowper Street some of the older boys spend a great part of their time in drawing, colour-work, &c. The most general subjects are freehand and model, taught according to the “second-grade” syllabus of the Science and Art Department. The quality of the work is very uneven, and there is a great want of originality and independence in methods of drawing teaching in most schools : as much in those which are free from outside control as those which work in connection with South Kensington. The work also wants more systematic graduation. Commercial Teaching. Specific commercial subjects, such as book-keeping and shorthand, are taught in several schools. A good many of the schools [e.g. the Grocers’ School, Hackney ; St. Mark’s College School, Chelsea; Coopers’ School, Bow, and others) aim much more at commercial than scientific teaching. In some cases this is due to the bent of the head-master or governors, and, indeed, there is ample room for schools of this kind in a great commercial centre like London. In other cases this course is forced upon the governors by want of funds for the more expensive practical science teaching. At a few schools there are commercial sections. At the Owen’s School, Islington, a good many boys gain the certificates of the London Chamber of Commerce ; but the great majority of London secondary schools abstain, for various reasons, from sending boys in for these examinations. The best commercial education for boys up to fifteen is really a good general education, including modern languages. I doubt even if sborthand can be grasped by boys below this age, unless under a very exceptional teacher. The same apj^lies still more strongly to book-keeping. The place of specialised commercial teaching, so far as it comes within the province of the secondary section, is either in the highest form of the second-grade schools (for boys of at least sixteen^, or in the upper forms of first- grade schools. But the greater part ought to be done in special higher commercial schools, of which there are many abroad, but absolutely none at work in London. The whole question of Commercial Education is, however, dealt with in a previous section. To sum up — the chief defects in London secondary schools for boys are, (1) their isolation and want of relation to elementary schools (2) their insufficiency in number (3) the great inequality and general insufficiency of their resources, and their consequent want, in many cases, of adequate equipment (4) the absence of the “test, stimulus, advice, dignity,” which, as the Schools Inquiry Commissioners pointed out twenty-five years ago, might be given by the connection of these schools with some central co-ordinating power. ^V’ith the help of a moderate expenditure of money, and without at all shackling these schools with remote and irksome restrictions, I am convinced that the standard of teaching, especially of the subjects within the scope of the Technical Instruction Act, might be greatly raised. III.— Proposals for aiding Secondary Education. In considering the best mode of aiding secondary education, and making it more accessible to the mass of the population, we must keep the above four points in mind. The first point is to a great extent dealt v/ith under the head of “ Scholarships,” in section XVII. The second is one to be kept in view in the future, especially in connection with the develop- ment of schemes for new polytechnics, which may include secondary day schools. We come then, to the third point — the inequality and general insufficiency of their resources. [ 9 ] 66 (a) With regard to this point, the first central fact of importance is that we have to deal with a number of schools, some unendowed, some comparatively rich in endowment. The great majority, however, of endowed second-grade schools have funds sufficient to enable them to offer secondary education at a charge of T6 a year or more, but not to cheapen it beyond this sum. The benefits of the endowments, therefore (exce 2 )t in regai-d to scholarship holders), are not available, and cannot at present he made available, for those whose parents cannot pay this fee. The precise extent of the resources and expenditure of London endowed schools is shown in Appendix K.* (b) The next important fact is that a secondary scliool, giving good teaching in general subjects, including practical science, drawing, and manual work, for boys up to the age of 16, cannot be carried on efficiently at an annual cost of less than to iilO a boy, supposing buildings already found. A more exact scale of minimum cost is TlO a boy for each boy up to 300, and £8 for each additional hoy. This estimate is founded on the accounts of several efficient secondary schools. Thus the Grammar School at Birmingham,! on the King Edward Foundation, cost on the average LTO 10s. a head, and have an average of 300 boys each. The Alleyn’s School, Dulwich, costs .£9 a head, with 520 boys. ]\Iany of the London secondary schools are actually carried on for less than the above cost, but the salaries are often wretchedly low", and the teaching power is thus inadequate. The Polytechnic Day School, Avith 530 boys, only appears to cost L'6 4s. a head (not including rent), but this economy is attained by utilising in the day-time the services of evening instructors — a doubtful policy, Avhich, at all ev'ents. makes the cost per head no criterion for other schools. I say without hesitation that where a school is carried on for much less than the scale of cost giA’en above, it must be at the expense of the teaching power or equipment, or the teachers must be receiving less than their value in salaries. Mr. Cunynghame makes the higher estimate of i£12, and indeed I regard the above scale as an irreducible minimum. We may take this scale then of <£10 a head up to 300 boys, and i'8 for each additional boy as our normal standard of the minimum cost of carrying on a good secondary school giving technical education, including salaries, rates, taxes, maintenance, management, advertising, prizes and all necessary school expenses, but not including rent or scholarships. I call this sum then the “necessary cost” of a secondary school giving efficient technical education. Were it possible Avithin the Technical Instruction Acts, and also Avithin the limits of the funds at the disposal of the County Council, to take up at once the task in its fullest sense of organising secondary education in London, I think the soundest method of aiding existing schools Avould be to aid their equipment, and also make up the total income of the schools from fees, eudoAvments and goA’ernment grant to tlie total amount required to carry on these schools efficiently according to the above scale. Of course it Avould be necessary in this case to lay doAA'n suitable conditions as to the fee to be charged. Having regard to our present limitations, both monetary and statutory, \A'e have to consider hoAv far this aim can be realised. (u) Annual grant — In the first place the grant must be designed solely for technical education, and limited to scholars receiving such technical education. It is further desirable in my opinion to limit the grant per head to pupils over the age of 10. Instruction of boys under this age must be elementary, and up to 10 years of age can be obtained almost equally w'ell in a public elementary school. While, therefore, in no Avay preA’enting secondary schools from admitting young pupils, I think that a grant Avith respect to pupils under 10 is unnecessary, and that good rather than harniAvould result if the concentration of County Council grant on those over 10, led these schools gradually to extend their Avork for older boys, and diminish their junior classes, and so become more of the nature of continuation schools. In the second place, the fee charged to those on Avhose account annual grants are made, must be such as not to exclude children of parents avIio send them to begin their education at a public elementary school. The question is at Avhat amount to fix this fee. The evidence on this point seems on the Avhole to point to a maximum fee of <£3 a year (£1 a term). This is the fee charged at King Edward's Grammar Schools, Birmingham. The average fee at Heriot’s Hosi)ital School, Edinburgh, is about £3. In London, .£3 is the fee (= half ordinary fees) charged at the Roan School, Green Avich, to elementary scholars. Lastly £3 (or Is. Cd. a Aveek), is the maximum fee fixed in the Charity Commissioners’ Schemes for day schools in connection Avith the new Polytechnics. I suggest then that the County Council grant be giA"en solely on pupils admitted at a fee not exceeding £3 a year. It is not necessary, hoAVCA^er, to insist that the general fees of the school should be lowered to this leA’el, and in some Avell-to-do districts, such a course Avould involve a great waste of money. A great proportion of the parents Avhose sons attend secondary schools are fairly Avell ofi', as is shown by the folloAving estimate of the proportion of pupils draAvn from various social strata in the exist- ing secondary schools of London, based on returns from twenty-nine schools.

Ihofessional trading and middle class ... ... ... ... 85 Artizans and labourers ... ... ... ... ... ... 15 Total 100 * This statement lias been carefully compiled from the Accounts supplied by the Foundations to the Charity Commission, by Messrs. Hudson Smith, Hriggs & Co., Chartered Accountants. t Not, of course, including the High School. J 67 I see no reason either in law or in principle why a share of the County Council grant should not go to improve the education given to boys of middle-class parents, seeing that both the universities and the great public schools for the upper classes are heavily endowed; and if the present proposals are accepted, these classes will gain their full share of the advantages of better equipment, laboratories, &c., as well as of improved staff. But considering the limitations of the funds at the disposal of the Council, it would be a somewhat extravagant policy to insist on a large reduction of fees to all classes of parents, when the object is chiefly to make secondary schools accessible to those of slender means. A better plan, considering the limitations of the County Council’s fund, would be to require that all applicants for admission over the age of ten, who had spent (say) three years in an elementary school and passed the fourth standard, should be admitted at a fee not exceeding A‘3, so far as the accommodation of the secondary school permits, and to base the annual grant of the County Council on these pupils only, leaving the schools to charge what fee they please to others. Individual cases of schools, which preferred to reduce their fee for all pupils to A‘3, might be considered on their merits, having regard to the character of the districts in which they are situated. On all pupils so admitted into efficient secondary schools, and receiving technical education therein, the Council would pay such a grant as would make up the 1^3 fee together with the amount per head of endowment and “Science and Art” grant (calculated on the whole school) to the amount per head necessary to carry on the school efficiently. To make this principle perfectly clear, consider the example of a school of 500 boys, of whom 200 are ex-elementary school pupils admitted at A'3 a year, as above. The school has (say) a net endowment of ^1,250 a year exclusive of the amount of endowment assigned to scholarships, and earns an average of £250 from the Science and Art Department. Thus the total income per head on the class of scholars we are considering is £6 (£3 a year in fee and £3 in endowment and grant). The necessary cost of can-ying on the school efficiently is £4,600 {i.e., £10 a head on 300 boys and £8 on 200) or £9 4s. per head. Hence the County Council grant would be £3 4s. on 200 boys, or £640. Of course this grant would be subject to the conditions as to the efficiency of the school, suggested above and summarised on p. 69. A few slight difficulties might arise as to the right estimation of the amount of clear endowment, in the case of foundations partly applicable to education and partly to other objects. But these difficulties can easily be surmounted. It is to be observed that the above method of calculating grant though bused on number of pupils is not open to the objections rightly entertained by many educational authorities against uniform capitation grants as a method of aiding secondary education. The principle I propose to adopt is not to pay a certain amount on every pupil receiving secondary education, wherever found, but to make up to the school authorities the actual expense they are required to incur of giving a good education at a lower fee than is warranted by their endowment. (b) Equipment grants — Next with regard to capital expenditure on equipment. Here, as in all other cases of such expenditure, each school must be separately dealt with on its own merits, the Council retaining a lieu on the apparatus and equipment placed at the disposal of the schools. The objects for which such grants may be made with advantage, include (1) the equipment of science laboratories, and the acquisition of suitable apparatus ; (2) the equipment of special art-rooms for the teaching of drawing, modelling, &c., and the acquisition of casts, models and examples; (3) the fitting of workshops for manual training with benches and tools ; (4) the formation of school museums. In no case should building grants be given, at least at present. The school authorities who desire this form of aid must do their part by providing or building suitable accommodation for laboratories, art-rooms and workshops to receive the fittings and apparatus provided by the Council. I estimate that a sum of £5,000 would be sufficient to set aside for the first year to meet applications for capital grants under this head. Private profit schools . — There are a few secondary schools hitherto conducted for private profit {e.g., the Beckham Technical School), which give instruction in science and art, and which are or may be desirous of placing themselves under public management, so as to qualify for aid under this scheme. Such cases must of course be dealt with on their merits. Before recognising them, the County Council must of course be satisfied that the governing body constituted is the real and ultimate authority, with full power of appointment and dismissal of masters, and also that the buildings, equipment, course of instruction, &c., are up to the standard required from secondary schools under this scheme, and that such a secondary school is required by the circumstances of the district. IV.— Higher divisions of Elementary Schools. There remains the question of the development of higher divisions in connection with public elementary schools, for ex-standard scholars. There are about 2,000 ex-standard scholars (viz., about 1,000 boys and 1,000 girls) in public elementary schools in London. 1,600 of these are in Board schools, and the remainder in voluntary schools. We may deduct at least 700 children as scattered about in ones and twos in elementary schools, which make no pretence of giving them a higher ' course of teaching. The remaining 1,300 are grouped in higher divisions of elementary schools, of which there are over 30 under the Board with a total number of 1,000 ex-standard pupils, and the remainder in voluntary higher gi-ade schools, of which St. Thomas Charterhouse, Raiue’s Foundation School, Latymer’s School, &c., are examples. In one or two cases, a certain amount of endowment is aA'ailable for these higher divisions, but not to any appreciable extent. They can therefore be dealt with, at least for the present, on the system of uniform capitation payments. Classes of this kind are at present on a very anomalous and unsatisfactory footing. They receive no grant from the Education Department, and 68 the grant from the Science and Art Department will he greatly reduced by the abolition of payments on “ second-class elementary” passes, since, with such young pupils they will not be able to recoup them- selves by the increased grant for advanced work. The result is that those which are not under the Board are in a very precarious position. If they adopt the curriculum laid down by the Science and Art Department for “ organised science schools,” they can earn capitation grants of a head and a small grant for manual training. But many of them have not the funds for equipment, &c., to enable them to comply with the conditions of the Department, and it is doubtful whether in all cases it is desirable that they should exactly follow the prescribed course. At all events none of them at present earn this grant. Nothing ought to be done in the way of gi-ants for ex-standard pupils w'ho are taught together with the standard children. They must he formed into definite higher classes, and taught in separate rooms from the remainder of the school. A special course of instruction must he drawm up for them, and approved in general outline by the County Council. It should include drawing, and practical science teaching, and some form of manual w'ork. The classes must be in charge of special teachers, duly qualified for the purpose. Such classes may w'ell earn a grant from South Kensington,, and, if the managers please, may he arranged so as to earn the additional grants made to “ organised science schools.” But for reasons given above, the possibilitj" of earning a large grant on science in- struction in such schools is now greatly diminished, and classes of the kind we are considering will suffer financially unless supported by the County Council. Recommendations as to hujher (jrade classes. — I recommend that for the first year a capitation grant of £3 a head he paid on all scholars of higher grade classes in connection with public elementary schools, who have passed the seventh standard, on the following conditions — (1.) The classes to he free. (2.) Eepresentation and audit as required in the Act. (This not to ajiply to grants to the School Board.) (3.) The classes to be open at all times to the County Council visitor, and a report of their work in writing to be sent to the Council every year. (4.) The classes to be taught in separate rooms from the elementary school, to he in charge of special and qualified teachers, and to be taught according to a special course of instruction to be generally approved by the Council. Such course to make provision for efficient teaching of drawing, science (theoretical and practical), and some form of manual training (for hoys). Various forms of household economy for girls may replace the science and manual training for boys. The amount recommended, £3 a head, is in harmony with the proposals just adopted after a special inquiry for the distribution of the grant for secondary education in Scotland. Of course no special grants for special sulq'ects (science, drawing, &c.j will be made to schools which receive the £3 grant. Here, as in all grants to day schools, the cardinal principal is to treat the school curriculum as a whole. At the same time the method of capitation payments suggested is only tentative. Hereafter it may be found advisable to adopt a still more comprehensive method of dealing with these schools. I estimate that the probable cost of these grants for the first year wdll he about £6,000. In addition to the annual grants, a sum of (say) £2,000, should he set aside to meet applications for aid towards equipment, which should he given subject to the same conditions as apply to capital grants for ordinary secondary schools. V.— Secondary Schools for Girls. The above proposals, so far as they relate to higher divisions of elementary schools, apply as much to girls as to hoys. There is reason to think that in the future of continuation schools for girls of the artisan class, these higher departments will play a more important part than the purely secondary school. Almost every one I have consulted agrees in this view. To quote Miss Clara Collet (now one of the Assistant-Commissioners for women’s w'ork of the Royal Commission on Labour) — “ the needs of girls in the matter of education are different from those of boys, though not less urgent. AVhat is needed by girls in the working classes is not so much the provision of a ‘ ladder from the gutter to the University ’ as wide-spread instruction in practical domestic economy, the laws of health, and acquaintance with good literature. . . . While the machinery of the ladder system of scholarship will continue to he of value in exceptional cases, the wisest course is to devote energy and funds to the establishment of continuation classes (above the compulsory standards) in close connection with the elementary schools themselves.” * As regards the teaching of subjects coming under the head of “ Household Economy,” sufficient is said under section 12. The .£3 capitation grant, proposed above, will suffice for the present to encourage this wnrk. Secondary schools, however (both “ high schools ” and “ middle ” or “ second grade ” schools), are doing a most valuable work for girls’ education in London, and though they mainly provide for the middle classes, yet there is no doubt that in many cases through the scholarship system they afford the means of developing and training talent which otherwdse would have been lost to the community. Though these schools can probably never become continuation schools for elementary scholars to the same extent as is possible with hoys’ secondary schools, they are none the less worthy of support in so far as they discharge this function. Ricistmii Facts. — Public secondary schools for girls may he divided into high schools, with fees of about £9 15s. on an average, and middle schools, with fees from £3 15s. to £8. Of the 20 high schools only three (North London Collegiate School, Mary Datchelor’s, and Aske’s School, Hatcham) are endowed. All the rest are “ proprietary,” and hence excluded from aid from the County Council. They are divided as follows : — 12 under the Girls’ Public Day School Company, 3 under the Church Schools Company, and 2 Church of England High Schools. * “ Studies in Secondary Education,” pp. 219-221. 69 Of the 14 second-grade or “ middle” schools, all, except the Clapham School of the Girls’ Public Day School Company, are regulated by schemes of the Charity Commissioners. These schools have not been inspected for the purpose of this report so elaborately as the corresponding schools for boys, partly because they were visited a short time back by Miss Collet (of whose opinion and advice on the subject I have had the advantage), partly because, for various reasons, these schools seem unlikely to play a very important part in supplying technical education for girls. I need hardly add that so soon as the Council is empowered to take up fully the question of Secondary Education as such, the middle and high schools for girls will be a most important factor to be considered. Full particulars of curriculum, examinations, number and age of scholars, &c., income and expenditure of girls’ secondary schools, will be found on pp. 160, 172, 170 and 173 respectively. Drawing as a rule is taught throughout the schools, in some cases by special teachers, and with very remarkable success. Botany is the most usual science subject, sometimes accompanied by physiology or the laws of health. On the whole (with, however, some striking exceptions), the science teaching appears to he rather meagre, and in many of the schools little importance is attached to it by the head-mistress. Cookery is taught in six or seven schools, needlework or dress-cutting in nearly all. Modelling is taught throughout six or seven schools, and to certain girls in nearly all. Proposals . — County Council aid to these schools be governed by the same conditions as that proposed for boys’ secondary schools, grants for equipment, &c., being made according to circumstances, out of the sum set aside for the purpose. As regards annual grants, however, the scale of ‘‘necessary cost ” of a girls’ middle school must be fixed at a lower figure than that for a boys’ school. Thus the Birmingham grammar-schools for girls cost =£8 a head as compai’ed with £10 10s. for the boys’ schools. After looking into the accounts of several efficient girls’ schools, I think that £8 a head for the first 300 girls, and £7 a head for each girl above that number is a fair estimate of the cost of carrying on these schools efficiently, and in calculating annual grants-in-aid, this scale must therefore be sub- stituted for that given above. I do not think that the grants under this head are likely at present to amount to more than £1,000 (annual) and £1,000 (capital grants). The conditions as to representation, inspection, &c., &c., would naturally be the same as in the case of boys’ schools, while in the curriculum practical domestic subjects would replace manual training. The schools of the Girls’ Public Day School Company are doing a very useful and remarkable work in London, and though they cannot be directly aided, scholarships should undoubtedly be tenable at them. Summary of recommendations as to Secondary Education. A-— Secondary Schools (Boys and Girls). I. — Form of Aid. The County Council aid to secondary schools to take two directions (1) capital aid towards equipment (2) annual grants to enable the schools to be efficiently maintained, and at the same time to be accessible at a cheap rate to children from elementary schools. 1. The expenditure on equipment to vary according to the circumstances of each case, the apparatus, models, fittings, and other appliances being placed at the disposal of schools which conform to the conditions laid down by the Council and are prepared to provide the requisite accommodation, but the County Council to retain a lien on them. 2. The annual grant being mainly intended to enable the schools to provide a good secondary and technical education at a low cost for children of artizans, to take the form of a capitation grant on all pupils attending the school who have been previously for three years at a public elementary school, and have passed at least the fourth standard. Schools which receive this grant must admit such pupils at a fee not exceeding £3 a year, and the County Council grant will be calculated so as to make up that amount (£3) to the amount of the annual net cost per head of carrying on the school efficiently.* II. — Conditions. (1.) Representation on the governing body as required in the Act. (2.) The School to be open at all times to inspection by representatives of the County Council. (3.) An annual written report of the work of the school, and statement of accounts to be furnished to the County Council. (4.) The curriculum of the school to include sufficient provision for — {a) A systematic and graduated course of drawing teaching for all pupils, boys and girls. [h) A systematic and graduated course of science teaching, including practical work to be provided at least in the higher classes. Note. — The practical work, for which suitable provision must be made, may consist of a graduated experimental course of practical physics or chemistry, or both. The mere teaching of qualitative analysis is not sufficient. In girls’ schools, practical botany may take the place of physics or chemistry. * The total amount per head necessary to carry on efficiently a secondary school for boys in London, satisfying the conditions laid down in this report (assuming that the building is already provided) is deemed to be — Boys — For first 300 boys, £T0 a head ; for each boy over 300, £8. Girls — For first 300 girls, £8 a head ; for each giid over 300, £7. The net cost per head will therefore be the above amount, after deducting the annual proceeds of endow- ment and Government grant. The annual amount of the endowment maybe reckoned to be the average annual amount actually devoted to the purposes of the school for the last three years, including expenses of management, repairs and replacement of furniture, but not including any amount which may be assigned for scholarships and exhibitions under a scheme of the Charity Commissioners. 70 (c) A systematic and graduated system of manual instruction, in connection with drawing (for boys’ schools). Note. — Manual instruction may take the form of instruction in the use of wood- working and metal-working tools, wood-carving or modelling in clay. It need not be taught throughout the school, but work done optionally, or out of school hours, should not be taken as sufficient. (d) Practical instruction in some form of ‘ household economy,’ such as cookery, dressmaking, &c. (for girls’ schools). Note. — The above remarks as to manual training for boys to apply to domestic work for girls. B -Higher (Divisions of Public Elementary Schools- (1) Form of aid. (1) A capitation grant of £B on every scholar who has passed the 7th Standard* before admission to the higher division, and who makes the number of attendances during the school year which would qualify him for the Education Department’s grant if working in the standards. (2) Equipment grants according to circumstances. (See above.) (2) Conditions. (1) Free tuition. (2) Representation, audit and inspection (except in cases of School Board). (3) Annual report of work done, in writing. (4) The classes to be taught in separate rooms from the elementary school, to be in charge of special and qualified teachers, and to be taught according to a special course of instruction to be generally approved by the Council, including drawing, science and manual training (for boys), or household economy (for girls).

I.— General Principles- Higher technical education may in a sense be held to cover the training for all the various professions, law, medicine, or even theology, as well as such occupations as engineering and architecture. For the purposes however of this report, we may rule out all purely professional training, i.e., training ivith a view to qualify for entrance into a close profession, such as law or medicine. Theology evidently must be also set aside. The case is different with the training of the engineer, architect, scientific chemist, or teacher of science. The entrance to these occupations is perfectly open to all, and it is of the greatest importance to industry that they should be stocked with the men of highest abilities and best training. Thus the architect is at the summit, so to speak, of the pyramid of the building trades. Little effective can be done to develop the art of building, by improving the training of the carpenter, bricklayer, painter, carver, plumber, and so forth, unless at the same time there is adequate provision for the training of the man who presides over and directs the whole of these crafts. The training of the architect is thus the key to the development of the building trades. The engineer, mechanical or electrical, occupies a corresponding position with regard to the great and growing group of engineering and metal trades. In him centre the trades of the pattern maker, fitter and turner, machine-minder, metal-founder, boiler-maker, iron shipbuilder, blacksmith, and the like. Electrical engineering again, the most rapidly growing branch of engineering at the present day, almost entirely depends for its future on the training of a few leaders of industry. The very best engineering work has lately been done in Switzerland, chiefly (so Professor Unwin informs me) in consequence of the training given in the laboratories of the Federal Polytechnic School. What is true of engineering is still more obviously true of the chemical industries, where this country has lost ground, and is still losing ground, compared with Germany, owing to the higher level of training of the German scientific chemist. Our chemical manufactories are now at last, awaking to this fact, with the result that in the opinion of authorities such as Professor Thorpe an almost indefinite demand is growing up for very highly trained chemists — men, that is to say, who have worked in a research laboratory, not those who have merely learnt up the technological details of a particular business. Finally there is the enormous and unquestioned importance of the thorough training of teachers. If the low level of the present teaching of science in our intermediate institutions is to be raised, the teachers must be trained in connection with higher institutions, where they can see research going on, and engage in it themselves. As regards most of these branches of higher education, it is in quality rather than quantity that we are deficient in London. However the case may be with regard to chemical technology, it is questionable if there would be an effective demand for more highly trained engineers, both mechanical and electrical, than are supplied by the annual output of University and King’s Colleges, the Central Institution and Finsbury Technical College, not to mention the various private profit engineering schools of London. The complaint is that the majority of those turned out annually from these institutions are very far below the standard of training of such an institute as Zurich, that we are in fact overstocking the market with “half-baked ” engineers, instead of training the same or even a smaller number to the highest possible pitch. The great foreign laboratories do not attempt to cater for large numbers of students. There are only about six or eight advanced students working at present in Weber’s great physical laboratory at Zurich, and this laboratory (which would easily contain the whole of the higher physical and engineering laboratories in London) is only intended to accommodate about 50 students, less than half the number of those working in the engineering department of King’s College. This is not the fault so much of the methods of teaching as of the indiscriminate collection of students who present themselves and are accepted without any adequate test of ability. Colleges dependent almost entirely on fees, cannot afibrd to have a stiff entrance examination. What we want then in London is not mere multiplication of higher institutions, still less a large increase of students in them, but to secui’e that these students are the very best available material and receive the very highest training. In other words, we want, first by means of organising our secondary schools and picking out the best scholars by a leaving scholarship examination, to make our engineering and other higher schools accessible to the best talent in whatever social class it may be found ; and secondly, so to co-ordinate the higher colleges as to prevent over-competition and over-lapping, to assign to each its proper function, and to secure that at some one or more centres the very highest teaching and the best appliances shall be available for the study of any particular subject. We thus realise how intimately the question of the development of higher technical education in London is bound up with that of a teaching university. Before we can deal effectivelly with this knotty problem we must survey rapidly the position and work of each of the higher institutions. II.— -Existing Institutions. 1. University College, besides its literary work, has departments of engineering, chemistry and electrical technology. It also includes the Slade School of Art, and has a professorship of architecture. There are fairly equipped engineering, physical and chemical laboratories, doing very good work ; but hitherto there has been hardly any provision for practical electrical work, or for chemical technology, in which subject there is a lectureship. At the present time, however, new electrical and engineering laboratories are being built and fitted at an estimated cost of £20,000, and a new physical laboratory has lately been erected behind the main building. When these changes are complete, the accommodation for practical science teaching will of course be greatly improved. The fees for the complete course of engineering or chemistry are high, viz., about £40 a year. The whole of the scientific and technical side of the college is practically unendowed. The only exceptions are the endowment^ (£300) for the Quain professorship of physics, £200 for the pro- fessorship of applied mathematics, and a payment of £200 from the Carpenters’ Company towards an assistant and apparatus for the professor of architecture. £200 is paid out of the general Government grant of £i,700 for an assistant and apparatus for the professor of chemistry, £100 for apparatus and assistance for the professor of engineering, and about £50 towards the salary of the lecturer on chemical technology. The buildings are of course provided, and the scientific and technical departments share with the rest of the college the benefit of that part of the £1,700 grant which goes towards general maintenance. Except for this, each department is financially independent. One twenty-first part of the fees are deducted for the college (he., guineas are converted into pounds) and of the remainder three quarters go to the potessor, one quarter to the maintenance of the department, the professor (with some excep- tions) paying for his assistants out of his share of fees. The new laboratories are being built by mortgaging an endowment of £800 a year applicable to buildings, and a public appeal has been made for assistance towards their equipment. The particulars of the chief departments of w'ork which come within the Technical Instruction Acts are given below. Eirgineering and Mechanical Technology Electrical Technology Physics and Physical Laboratory Civil Engineering and Surveying Applied Mathematics and Mechanics Chemistry (not including medical students) Architecture Chemical Technology No. of Students 68 23 ... 148 (of whom about 70 are technical.) 40 52 120 (of whom about 70 are technical.) 31 11 The total fees from these students amount to ,£4,509 a year. Of course some students are counted more than once in the above table. The Slade School of Art is very much cut off from the rest of the work of the college. The numbers of students have been declining of late, owing to the high fee and competition of cheaper schools. The full fee is £19 19s. Besides drawing, painting and modelling, marble sculpture, medallion work, and etching on copper are taught in the Slade School. The professor, M. Legros, has just resigned. The work of the professor of architecture consists of three courses of lectures, designed to lead up to the examinations of the Boyal Institute of British Architects, to which have lately been added building and architectural drawing. There is no attempt to make a “school of architecture,” and the connection Avith the Slade School is A'ery slight. There is at present no organised department for the teaching of higher commercial subjects, such as commercial law, &c., at University College. This matter is dealt with above under section 11. In connection with the day training college just established in the college, a master of method has been appointed who may ultimately become professor of the science of education. To sum up. University College has plenty of teaching talent of the highest order. It is doubtful whether with the present high level of fees,^and the absence of Avhat Professor Huxley calls “capacity catching machinery ” in the shape of a well-organised secondai’y school system, it is getting the best material either in respect of the quality or previous training of its students. Its financial position is precarious, and the incomes of its professors, Avhich arise almost solely from fees, are very unequal. There are no evening classes at University College, except in the engineering department, AA’here Professor Beare takes a number of engineers’ apprentices, &c., through a practical laboratory course. Last year there were many more applicants for admission to this course than the laboratory would accommodate. King's College, like University College, is an institution incorporated by charter. Unlike it, however, it has a distinctly religious basis. Thus the Act of 1862, amending the original charter, sets forth that the object of the college is to give “ instruction in the doctrines and duties of Christianity as taught by the Church of England, combined with other branches of useful education,”* and that all offices in the, college, whether as governors, members of council or professors (except the professors of modern and oriental languages) should be tenable by members of the Church of England only.t The students may be divided into two classes — “ matriculated ” and “ occasional.” The matriculated students, who go through the whole course of the department on which they enter, and to whom alone the associateship of the college is open, are obliged to attend the divinity lectures of the principal, unless specially excused. The occasional students may join any single class or group of classes, and may, if they please, go through a complete course at the same fee as that paid by matricu- lated students. They are, however, debarred from the “ associateship.” Occasional students are not required to conform to any religious observance or attend any theological lectures. It appears to me A'ery doubtful whether under clauses 1 (i) (b) and (c) of the Technical Instruction Act, 1889, aid could legally be given by the County Council towards the teaching of “ matriculated * Preamble. t Clause 12. 73 students ” who form the great majority of the day students. How far aid should he given towards the teaching of the occasional students is a matter more open to question. Ail doubt would he removed if such students formed a regular department of the college instead of holding, as at present, an Inferior status and being debarred from the associateship. The Council, however, will probably wish to make further inquiries at a later stage on a matter of this kind ; and I have consequently left the question open, and made no definite proposal in this report for a grant towards the day department of the college. The evening classes stand on a different footing, the bulk of the students being unmatriculated. Apart, however, from the question of aid, it is desirable to get an idea of the scope and character of the work being done for technical and scientific education at King’s College. following tables give particulars on these points as regards the day classes — Number of Matriculated. Student.s. Occasional Mechanical Engineering ... 100 5 Civil Engineering 99 7 Natural Philosophy 104 15 Chemistry 94 9 Metallurgy 48 5 Building Construction 93 5 Laboratory and Workshops 104 (» Drawing 112 5 Photography Electrical Engineering* ... 13 — 10 10 Sanitary Science* 10 — Geology 94 — Of course it is to be understood that many students are counted over more than once in the above table, e.g., the “ mechanical engineering,” “ civil engineering,” and “laboratory and workshop ” students are largely the same individuals.f There is an endowment of £200 a year for the chair of metallurgy, and the income from a legacy of £10,000 (under Berridge’s trust) for the teaching of sanitary science. The electrical laboratory is the gift of Lady Siemens, at a cost of £6,000. There is also the grant of £1,700 a year from Government for general college purposes. The total fees from the above-named classes amounted last year to £3,753. As at University College, they are apportioned between the professors and the college. The fees for the complete course are considerably higher than at University College ; the fee for the engineering course being £4 15s. Gd. on entrance, and £48 10s. 6d. a year, rising to £54 10s. Gd. for the last year. It will be seen that by far the most important department on the scientific or technical side is that of engineering, of which there are 105 students, viz., 43 in the first year, 43 in the second, and 19 in the third. The 19 third year students are divided between the electrical laboratory (8) and civil engineering (11). The present professor of mechanical engineering (Prof. Capper) is re-organising the laboratory and workshops, and introducing an experimental course of laboratory work in place of the making of toy-engines on which the time of students used to be wasted. In other words, the work of the engineering department is being brought into line with modern ideas of the training of the engineer. The work however still suffers from the divided control of the professors of all the various subjects (chemistry, physics, mathematics, &c., &c.,) included in the engineering course. There is a new electrical laboratory given by Lady Siemens, consisting of a well-equipped laboratory at the top of the buildings, at .which 10 students could work, and a room at the bottom, with a couple of dynamos, which would accommodate six more. The professor (Dr. Hopkinson) does not lecture, the teaching being done by Mr. Wilson (late of Messrs. Siemens). There are chemical and metallurgical laboratories, chiefly occupied by students of the engineering department. There is a professorship of architecture endowed by the Carpenters’ Company, and a collection of architectural models and examples. The school of art is not very flourishing, but there is a school of wood-carving, with afternoon and evening classes for amateurs, huilt and endowed by the Carpenters’ Company, and furnished with examples and models. It has, however, no connection with the school of art. The evening classes of King’s College are more developed than at University College, and embrace many branches of science, commerce, &c., as will be seen by the following table (which only includes the technical classes) — Number of Students. Chemistry (theoretical) ... 24 ,, (practical) ... 22 Natural Philosophy ... ... 28 Mechanical Engineering ... 17 Engineering Laboratories ... 5 ,, Workshops ... 37 Architecture and Building Construction ... ... 33 Number of Students.

[ 10 ] 74 The fees for single courses vary from T1 II s. GlI. to i:3 3s. or more a session, a slight reduction being made if several subjects are taken. Central Institution . — This is the highest institution of the City and Guilds Institute, and provides advanced teaching in three main departments, (1) Mechanical Engineering ; (2) Applied Physics and Electric Technology, and (3) Applied Chemistry. There is a fairly hard entrance examination, and for the first year all students go through the same course, passing through each of the above departments, and also through that of the professor of mathematics. In the second year there is more specialisation, and in the third year each student keeps exclusively to his own department. The largest departments are those of engineering and electricity, which are about full with over 70 students apiece, the chemical department being at present chiefly subsidiary. The fees are much lower than at University or King’s Colleges, viz., £2H a year, and all the professors are paid by salary. The laboratories are well equipped, and there is an engineering workshop in addition to the laboratory, used mainly for illustrative purposes, rather than to teach a trade. There are seven entrance scholarships attached to the institution, varying in value from free tuition to .£60 a year. The wood-work shop of the institution is used at certain times for the training of elementary teachers in manual instruction, and the institution also houses a School of Masonry, and School of Art Wood Carving, the latter however being under separate management. The actual cost of carrying on the institution is about £12,000 a year, or £60 a head, the difference between this sum and the £25 paid in fees being made up out of endowment. Tlie Institution does not of course seek County Council aid. Roijal Collecje af Science, South Kensington . — This is a Government institution, designed partly to train, free of charge, selected teachers and “ members of the industrial classes selected by competition in the examinations of the Science and Art Department,”* partly to give a high scientific education to paying students. At present there are 285 students in all, which is as many as can be taken in the present state of the laboratories. The fees for paying students are fixed high, averaging upwards of £10 a year, with a view of avoiding over-competition with unendowed colleges. The School of Mines is incorporated with the Royal College of Science, where its students obtain their general scientific training. The plan of the course of instruction is unique. The first year students spend all their time, except that occujiied by instruction in mathematics and drawing, for the first term (Oct.-Feb.) at chemistry, which is followed in the second term by physics. The second year is similarly occupied (first term) by either mechanics or biology, and the second term by geology and mineralogy. By the end of his second year the student has thus made the round of the main branches of ])hysical science, and in his third or last year specialises on one of the following branches : mechanics, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, agriculture, and (in the school of mines) metallurgy or mining, in any one of which he can obtain the associateship of the college. Occasional students are also admitted at fairly high fees to particular courses. There are at present 121 “ state-aided” students (including teachers in training), and 164 fee- paying students. Projects are on foot for erecting new laboratories on the opposite side of Exhibition-road. At present the capacity of the chemical laboratory, through which all first-year students have to pass simultaneously, limits the number of students who can be accommodated at the college. There is a certain amount of interchange of pupils between Professor Rucker’s physical depart- ment at the Royal College of Science and Professor Ayrton’s “ applied physics ” department at the Central Institution. A considerable amount of research work is being carried on by Professor Rucker’s advanced students. It need hardly be said that a national institution like the Royal College of Science lies entirely outside the scope of the Loudon County Council so far as direct aid is concerned. It is supported by Government, and fed by means of scholarships with students from all over the country. But if the Council establish any higher science scholarships, they should certainly be tenable at the Royal College of Science among other institutions. Bedford College, for women, near Baker-street station, was one of the first higher colleges established for wmmen, having been founded in 1849. It is now attended altogether by some 120 students, about a third of whom work in preparation for the degrees of London University. The teach- ing is confined to secular subjects. There are good chemical and physical laboratories, and a small art school. A special training class for intending teachers of secondary schools has lately been added, the course including teaching of the history and theory of education, and a considerable amount of practice in several schools in the neighbourhood. The number of students attending the chief classes which might be considered to fall within the scope of the Technical Instruction Acts is as follows — - Physics (theoretical and practical) ... ... ... 97 Chemistry Biology Botany Art Studio Training Class ... ... ... ... ... 4 There are also classes in modern languages, mathematics, Ac. There is little or no endowment, and in spite of high fees (which are higher than University College) it is difficult for the college to pay its way. There are a few scholarships tenable at the college, but of too small amounts to enable really ])oor girls to take much advantage of them. The management of the college is in the hands of a 25 21 26 • Directory of Science and Art Department, p. 44. council elected by the membei's of the college, who form an association registered as a company “not for profit.” There are some other higher institutions for women {c.g. Queen’s College) of a denominational character. We have now completed the list of higher institutions in London, unless indeed we include the Schools of the Eoyal Academy and the National Art Training School, neither of which however at present make adequate provision for the training of arc-hitects. There is indeed Gresham College, but the work there carried on is v'ery slight in amount. Bedford College and Queen’s College for ladies, are doing good work, but hardly of a kind to he called technical. The Central Institution and the Royal College of Science ask for no aid, and would not accept it if offered. King’s College (except possibly as a centre at which scholarships might be held; is probably so far as its day work is concerned, excluded from grants by its insistance on Church of England teach- ing. The evening classes might indeed well be aided, and proposals to that effect are made below. These classes and the lectures of the Society for the Extension of University Teaching require separate consideration. Our chief object in dealing with the higher institutions must he to make them accessible to students of ability who are hitherto debarred by the cost. We have however to be very careful in dealing with a single higher institution, to take no step which may tend to postpone the formation of a teaching university, whether by absorbing or federating the various agencies. Thus we again come hack to the question of a teaching university, on which a Royal Commission is now sitting. Ill-— Teaching University for London. That such a university is wanted is denied by none, and it has been suggested in various quarters that its endowment would be a fitting way of expending part of the County Council fund for technical education. Before coming to any conclusion as to this course, we must very briefly review the various schemes, which are, or have been, before the public. (1.) There is the proposed “ Gresham University,” made by federating University College, King’s College and the Medical Schools, and independent of the existing London University. (2.) There is the plan of adding teaching to the present examining functions of the existing London University, appointing professors and lecturers and carrying on teaching work, with or without special constituent colleges. (3.) There is the scheme for a “ Professorial University,” which proposes to create a university of the type of Berlin, which shall absorb instead of federating the higher colleges, and on the supremo body of which no institutions as such should be represented. This governing body is to have power to lay down courses of study, handle endowments, concentrate laboratories and apparatus in the places where in its opinion they would be of most value, and generally to treat existing colleges as the rudiments of a teaching university to be developed and re-arranged in such a way as to promote the highest interests of education. Among these schemes, important as are the issues at stake, the London County Council is fortunately not compelled to choose. Whichever type of university may ultimately created could be used by the Council as a medium for endowing higher technical education, provided certain definite principles are embodied in its constitution. These conditions appear to me to be the following — (1.) The university to have power to co-ordinate teaching as well as to supply it, to put an end to the present competition among the colleges, to lay down courses of study, fix the fees, and, either by con- centrating particular branches of work at particular institutions, or by establishing a system of inter- collegiate lectures, classes and laboratory work, to enable every University student to obtain con- veniently the highest form of instruction in his particular branch of study. (2.) The university to appoint a delegacy for local lectures, and carry on teaching at various local centres throughout London in such subjects as can be conveniently dealt with in this manner. (3.) The teaching course leading to a degree to be so devised that students who can only study in the evenings may not be entirely shut out. (4.) The University to carry out the examination of London secondary schools somewhat on the principle of the “ Ahiturienten Examen.” This “ leaving examination ” would gradually take the place of all the diverse examinations, Oxford and Cambridge locals. College of I’receptors, London Chamber of Commerce, Science and Art Department, &c., by which London schoolmasters are now distracted. It might also be the matriculation examination leading to the University, and County Council scholarships could be awarded on its results. (5.) The University to be endowed by Government. (6.) Adequate representation of the County Council on the Governing Body of the University. If these conditions be fairly complied with, the Council might do splendid service to higher technical education (and through this, to technical education of all grades), by endowing the university with a sum equal to that supplied by Government up to (say) AT0,000 a year to be used for (1) equipment and maintenance of laboratories, &c., (2) endowment of professorships and lectureships in chemistry, physics, engineering, commercial law and practice, and architecture, (3) provision of a certain number of free places for county scholars, and other similar objects. I recommend then, that the County Council make this offer conditional on the university receiving a charter within two years. IV.- Interim Proposals. Meanwhile, however, there is no reason for refusing aid to individual Colleges, so as to open up their benefits to those who cannot now afford them, provided it be clearly understood that such aid is purely provisional, and will cease and pass into the university chest as soon as a suitable scheme for a 76 teaching university is approved. The grant should be conditional on the free admission to the science and technical departments of the college of a certain number of county scholars every year. Some rule, such as the following, might be laid down : — that any scholar who has passed from an elementary school by open scholarship to a secondary school, who is anxious to continue his education in a technical direction, and satisfies certain conditions as to age and acquirements, shall be admitted free. On these conditions I recommend that the following grant be made to University College : — Annual grant to technical department, to be divided at the discretion of the Council of University College among the departments of chemistry, chemical technology, mechanical engineering, electric technology and architecture, for main- tenance and salaries of professors and assistants (equivalent to the Government grant) ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... £1,700 On similar conditions, a grant should he made to Bedford College (for women), provided that it is included in the next scheme of Government grants to University Colleges. I recommend a grant of £500 a year to be applied to the departments of work falling within the Technical Instruction Acts. While in this way opening up an avenue from the elementary school to these Colleges, some thing should be done in a similar way for the development of the evening work of King’s College. A grant might be made for evening students who go through a systematic course of technical instruction, on condition that a certain number of free places were placed at the disposal of the County Council, and that the fees he reduced so as to bring the classes within reach of those with limited means. I recommend that £800 be set aside for this purpose, part of which, as recommended on page 38, should he devoted to sanitary instruction. Before leaving the subject of higher colleges I should like to quote a suggestion from Professor Ayrton’s report. “There is one way in which money could be most effectually spent in connection with the education of electrical engineers. At the completion of the course at a technical college, those who come out at the top or those who have influence get posts at once ; those who are not so good, but who have money, can enter at works at a reduced premium ; but the poor fairly good student finds it very difficult to get a start, very difficult in fact to enable him to show the manufacturer what he can do. For in consequence of the premium system a student who has passed even creditably through his course, but who is not at the top and who has neither influence nor money, will not he admitted into a works even to give his services for nothing. What then is urgently needed are ‘leaving premium scholarships’ which should be awarded on the results of the students’ entire college course.’’ Whether it w'ould he legal to give scholarships of this kind out of the technical education fund appears to me doubtful, but the suggestion may at least be commended to other authorities, such as the City and Guilds Institute, wdiich are not trammelled by the restrictions of the Technical Instruction Acts. V.— The Training of Architects- I have suggested above that professorships of architecture should he formed in connection with the teaching university. The inclusion, however, of the training of architects among the functions of such a body w'ould depend on the inclusion of art teaching generally among its faculties. To separate architectural from other branches of art teaching and put it under an academic body to he taught by lectures and tested by examinations, would he extremely undesirable. The architectural student wants his studios and w'orkshops for practical work — drawing, painting, modelling, carving, &c., &c. — as much as the engineering student wants his laboratory and workshop. Leaving it for the present an open question, whether the training of architects should or should not be a university function, w’e may at least consider the question of a School of Architecture as a department of higher education. The only agencies at present devoting themselves to the training of architects (besides the small amount of teaching done at University College and King’s College) are the Royal Academy Schools, the National Art Training School, and the Architectural Association. The Architectural School at the Royal Academy is outside our scope. It is only an evening- school, as distinguished from the schools of painting and sculpture in wdiich teaching is given every day. The National Art Training School trains teachers of architectural drawing, but very few architects, and there are only a very few' architects attending the District Schools of Art ("the greatest number of these being in the life class at the Westminster School). The Architectural Association lias for some years carried on courses of instruction for its own members. At the beginning they w'ere taught by voluntary teachers ; hut now they have been reorganised under paid instructors. Some hundreds of students in all attend these classes at the Association’s studio in Conduit-street. The Royal Institute of British Architects examines but does not teach. The question arises whether the w'ork now tentatively carried on by the Architectural Association, which might at any time fall to the ground, and which at present is confined to members of that Association, could not he consolidated and developed by the aid of the Council into a School of Architecture.''^ The Westminster Architectural Museum, which sadly needs re-housing, could be attached to such a school. To go into details, how'ever, is premature. It is enough to say that (1) the provision for the training of architects in London is scandalously inadequate ; (*2) that such training if improved w'ould raise the standard of the whole of the building crafts, and that a school of architecture and the building trades could become a centre of influence, giving tone and dignity to all the scattered classes for the various branches of the building trades throughout Loudon ; (3) that such training as is being done is chiefly done by a voluntary society with no guarantee for its permanence, and is confined to its members, and (4) that if a move is made to realise the idea of a great school of architecture, the Council would do well to help the project in every way in its power, both by annual endowment and aid for equipment. * See “ Areliitectnre, a Profession or an Art” (edited In' Norman Shaw, R.A., and T. G. Jackson, A.E.A.), especially the concluding chapter. 77 The creation of a Municipal School of Architecture wouhl be a splen liJ achievement for the London Council. VI.— University Extension Lectures. The London Society for the Extension of University Teaching arranges courses of lectures in various parts of London on various subjects including electricity, chemistry of arts and manufactures, architecture and other subjects falling within the Technical Instruction Acts. Each course consist of ten or twelve lectures followed bj" classes, and accompanied by weekly papers set and corrected by the lecturer. Thus a considerable amount of real teaching may be done even in a single course of lectures. The system is more adapted for subjects which can be taught w’ith little apparatus or equipment than for those which require practical laboratory work, though the society has in some cases arranged for courses of laboratory instruction to be held at some centre, e.g., University College, and King’s College. For some departments of technical education the university extension plan of peripatetic teaching is well suited. The system is very flexible, and can reach classes ‘who are untouched by central colleges. But in order to be classed as a branch of university w’ork, more continuity is necessary than is often possible at present, where the local Committees who And the expenses cannot easily be prevented from demanding what subjects they please. The society itself is perfectly alive to this defect, and is willing and indeed anxious to hand over its work to such a delegacy for local lectures as I have suggested as a necessary part of the constitution of a teaching university. Pending such a change the society is desirous of trying an experiment in London in the direction of free or low-fee’d “ pioneer ” courses of lectures for artisans in London, such as have been successfully given under its auspices at West Ham, with the aid of the West Ham Town Council. The following particulars as to the lectures which were given by Professor Lewis (of the Boyal Naval College) on chemistry, at the Stratford Town Hall, have been supplied by Dr. Roberts (Secretary of the Society) — Average number Average number Average number Number of entries Number of attending lectures. attending class. of weekly papers. for examination. certificate.s awarded. 800 300 00 78 63 Dr. Roberts would like to try courses of a similar kind in the town halls in selected districts of London. Application for aid towards such lectures has been received not only from the central society but from two of its East London centres. Nothing should be done to create a vested interest which may hereafter block the way to the establishment of a teaching university, but in the present case no such fear need be entertained, and I therefore recommend that liSOO be set aside for the purpose of meeting the expense of such pioneer courses during the first year. It is of course to be understood that such series of lectures are designed chiefly for purposes of stimulus, so as to lead up to and not replace systematic teaching in connection with laboratories, withoutwhich, as we have seen above, science teaching has little permanent value.

The need of Scholarships. — It may be assumed, without lengthened argument, that a scholar- ship scheme of some kind must form an important feature of any system which the County Council may adopt for the promotion of technical and secondary education in London. The organisation of such education must he looked at from the side of demand as well as that of supply ; and, indeed, in some ways the former is for our purposes the more important of the two. Private bodies and isolated institutions may, so far as their funds go, do much to supply schools and classes, hut the function of providing facilities of access to the benefits of those classes, whether by spreading far and wide informa- tion of their existence, by interesting the great organisations of workmen and employers in them, by linking them together so as to form a connected series, and inducing them to work harmoniously with- out overlapping, or by selecting scholars specially fitted to take advantage of them, and assisting them pecuniarily while they pursue their studies ; all this is essentially the function of a public authority acting over a wide area, and able to take a comprehensive view of the needs of the whole of London, not possible to the representatives of special localised institutions or sectional interests. Among the various ways in which the County Council may feed technical schools and classes, one of the most important is the provision of Scholarships and Exhibitions. The question of certain special classes of scholarships, e.g., Art Scholarships, &c., has already been dealt with. In the present section I propose to lay down very briefly the conditions which, as experience shows, should be observed in order to secure the best result from a general scholarship scheme, next to review the existing provision for such scholarships, and, finally, to make detailed suggestions for practical action by the County Council. 2. Various Classes of Scholarships. — Scholarships are required of four grades — (a) “ Minor” scholarships to enable pupils who have passed through the standards of an elementary school to continue for a year or two at a “ higher grade ” elementary school, and receive some elementary technical education. (h) “ Major” scholarships to carry promising pupils who are leaving elementary schools to a thoroughly efficient secondary day school providing technical education. (0) Scholarships to enable boys and girls who are entering or have entered the workshop or office to pursue their studies in the evenings at a technical school. (d) Scholarships to carry boys or girls of exceptional ahilities from a secondary school to a higher technical institution or University College. 3. Minor Scholarships.- — (Scholarships). There is as a rule a gap of a couple of years between the age at which an average boy leaves the elementary school and at which he enters a skilled trade as an apprentice. These years are as a rule occupied in doing odd jobs, acting as errand boy, &c., and forgetting what he has learnt at school. No object can be more Avorthy of support from tke County Council than the enabling of a large number of boys and girls to continue their day education at a school giving technical education for these two years before entering the workshop. If the proposals made for the encouraging the formation of free higher departments in connection with elementary schools or separate centres be accepted, comparatively small scholarships will be sufficient for the purpose, and the Council need have no fear of overdoing the number of recipients. Major Scholarships — Scholarships destined to keep a boy at a higher school till 16 or 17 stand on a different footing, since they tend to carry the boy beyond the usual age for entering the workshop. This is right in the case of boys of exceptional ability, on Avhose education there is hardly any limit to the amount that might profitably be spent, except the limit of the fund at the disposal of the Council for the purpose. But a grave responsibility is incurred by offering such scholarships in such numbers as to fall to boys chiefly of mediocre ability, who may thus be diverted from a purely artisan career, and yet not fitted for any other. With regard to these (which I call “ major ” scholarships), the rule should be small numbers hut large value. Their amount should be sufficient to cover not only lees, books, and travelling expenses, but an allowance towards the maintenance of the scholar. All experience shows that small scholarships of this type are a mistake, and likely to lead to failure. Only the well-to-do, who can afford to forego their children’s earnings for two or three years, can afford to let their children take advantage of them, and they thus fail to reach those who want them most. The competition for them being thus greatly reduced, they frequently are won by children of no more than average ability, whose career at the secondary school is disappointing. And in the few cases in which really poor parents accept the scholarships for their children, they are frequently compelled to remove them from school at the end of a feAV months or a year, in order not to miss some chance which offers of a fairly good situation. 2. — Existing Provision. 1. Number and classification. — The existing provisions for scholarships, carrying on pupils from elementary to secondary schools, may be measured by the total number of boys and girls actually holding these scholarships at the present time in public secondary schools in London. The schools for which complete returns are forthcoming show a total of 854 such scholars 591 boys and 263 girls) ; and, adding an estimated number for the remaining few schools, we arrive at a total of 1,000 scholarships actually held at the present time. This is probably somewhat less than the number provided for by the various scholarship schemes and trusts, since many of these are so little known that suitable candidates are not always forthcoming. The scholarships may be classified as follows — (1) Scholarships offered for secondary schools, and provided out of their endowments. About 54 Secondary schools (about 30 for boys and 24 for girls) offered scholarships for com- petition last year. The complete details of expenditure are given in Appendix K. The total amount so expended last j'car was about L'10,000 (T7,000 for boys and £3, 000 for girls). 79 (2) Scholarships provided from various sourcos and administered by the London School Board. These vary in number from year to year. Last year 16 were allotted of from L'20 to T30 a year (8 for boys and 8 for girls), each tenable for 2-5 years. On the average, there are about 50 pupils holding these scholarships at the same time. (3) Independent scholarship foundations, established by the Charity Commission under the Charitable Trusts Acts and the Endowed Schools Acts, chiefly out of old endowments. A full table of these foundations, with such particulars about them as could be obtained, are given in Appendix L (2). It will be seen that there are 58 such foundations altogether. Many of them provide not only for the kind of scholarship which we are now considering, but also for small scholar- ships of T5 or under, tenable in public elementary schools, and exhibitions leading Lom secondary schools to higher institutions. The funds available are in many cases a residue after other charges are met; sometimes the founlitiou of scholarships is an alternative to apprenticeship, or is prescribed in default of suitable candidates for the apprenticeship fund. Finally the division of the fund applicable to education among the various classes of scholar- ships and exhibitions specified above is fre(juently left to the disci’etioa of the governors. Hence in some cases no estimate can be made of the actual value and number of scholarships offered under these foundations. The total fund available annually for scholarships of some kind certainly exceeds A‘10,000 and is probably larger. (4.) The local scholarships offered by the Science and Art Department to enable pupils of elementaiy schools to attend technical day schools. The department supplements local contributions for this purpose on special conditions (See Directory, pp. 17, 18. The managers of the school must raise £5 a year, to which £1, £7 and £10 are added. by the department for each year of tenure respectively. Thus the whole number of scholarships are administered by more than a hundred distinct bodies of governors under every variety of conditions of selection and tenure. Many of these scholarships are fettered with local restrictions, many are too small to be of real service to poor children, some are burdened with a poverty test, some are confined to attendants at Sunday school. The mere waste of power resulting from the minute division of management is incalculable. 2., Defects of existing provisions . — Educational inquirers are often puzzled by the conspicuous failure of the scholarship system in some cases, and its brilliiint success in others. The fact is that there are certain broad conditions for the success of a scholarship scheme. It must be administered on a large scale and cover a wide area. The conditions of candi- dature and tenure must be simple and well known, the examination uniform and planned on lines suited to elementaiy school children. The examinations should be conducted at many centres on the same day, and above all the scheme should be well before the public ; advertisements pinned on Church doors or inserted in local papers will not suffice. The co-operation of the teachers and managers of the elementary schools and the School Board must be enlisted in making the scholarships widely known, and if practicable some inducement held out to teachers of elementary schools to overcome their natural reluctance to part with their best pupils at an early age. Lastly, the scholarships must be sufficient in amount to provide partly for maintenance as well as pay fees. Not one of these conditions is at present fully complied with. Scholarships are offered singly, or in twos and threes, by individual secondary schools, or obscure foundations possessing no adequate means of advertising them. There is no limit to the variety and complexity of conditions attached — conditions of attainment of age, of locality, of residence, of parents’ poverty, of attendance at particular schools, and the like. Many of the scholarships only cover fees, or even half fees, and there is often a want of co-operation between the teachers of elementary and secondary schools in the matter of sending in candidates. It is little wonder that, in some cases, the competition for these scholarships is slack ; indeed, considering the existing circumstances, it is surprising that the annual crop of candidates should be so good as it is. But I have no doubt that if the main body of scholarships and exhibitions were awarded on a concerted and uniform plan, there would be active competition for a very much larger number of scholarships than are awarded at present. It is probable that under a well-administered system there would eventually be room for at least 1,000 scholarships every year. As stated above, the number of “ Major ” scholarships ought to be limited ; but the existing number, compared with the 800,000 school children of London, is a mere drop in the bucket. As often as not, any want of keen competition arises at present not from the magnitude but from the scarcity, and consequent insignificance and obscurity, of the scholarship supply. 3.— Proposed Scholarship Scheme. 1. Award of Major Scholarships . — What the annual number of “Major” scholarships may he which the conditions of London will ultimately bear while maintaining a high standard of qualification, can only be ascertained by experience, and I recommend that any additions which the Council make to the existing number be made gradually and tentatively as experience justifies the increase. In administering these scholarships and arriving at the number which can with advantage be maintained, it may be an advantage to the Council to work in conjunction with an organised scheme such as that which has just been adopted for common scholarship examinations by the Head Masters Association, a society including most of the Head Masters of London Secondary Schools. Their scheme, which is an efibrt to remedy the evils of want of sj'stem and divided adminis- tration, was devised by a sub-committee of the Association in conjunction with Mr. Pinches (the School Board examiner for Scholarships) and myself, and revised, after consultation with the National Union of Teachers, as representing the elementary teachers. 80 The first examination under it is being held during the present month (November, 1892), and the experience gained from this examination may perhaps lead to minor modification — I recommend, that for the present the Council would do well to administer any “ Major ” scholarships which it may award for the first year for scholars proceeding from elementary schools, so far as practicable in harmony with this, subject to its right to appoint one of the examiners, and be represented on the Board of management. So soon as a uniform plan of scholarship administration is successfully at work, it is to be hoped that the Trustees of many of the small and comparatively useless scholarship endov.’ments now scattered about London will gradually fall into the scheme and administer their trusts through the same board. The establishment of one uniform examination does not necessarily imply the extinction of all special local restrictions or conditions, any more than the open scholarships at Oxford necessarily kill the close scholarships. The trustees of a local scholarship fund wishing to gain the advantage of the wider knowledge and experience of such a board, and the economy of administration resulting from combined action, might often be willing to award them through the county board examinations while still maintaining the special restriction imposed by the trust on the candidates for these particular scholarships. The School Board might also come into the scheme so far as the scholarships which it administers are concerned. The Charity Commission in creating fresh scholarship foundations or reorganising old ones, would naturally tend to vest them in the County Council. Thus, by degrees, the scholarships oft’ered throughout London would come to be administered by a central scholarship board. The scholarships at present offered by special secondary schools would continue to be tenable at those schools only, while the county scholarships added by the County Council would be open to scholars of all London elementary schools, and tenable at any of the scheduled list of efficient secondary schools in London providing technical education. The value of these county scholarships should be graduated in amount, so as to ofier the parent a progressively increasing inducement to keep the scholar at school, as the wages which are thus foregone offer an increasing temptation for him to leave. I suggest the following scale — *lst Year ... . . ... ... ... ... L‘20 2nd Year . . . . . ... ... ... 25 3rd Year . . . . ... ... ... 30 The average amount (£25 a year) would thus be about equivalent to that of the scholarships administered by the School Board. I should add that, though the principle of progressive graduation is little adopted in England, the “ Bourses d'entretiens,” offered by the Paris municipality to scholars proceeding to their higher primary schools, are devised on this plan, and that it has been adopted by the Science and Art Department in their scheme for local scholarships referred to above. The question remains how many “ Major ” scholarships should be offered the first year, and how often should the examinations be held ? I think that 150 scholarships offered in three instalments of 50 each would be enough to test the scheme without being excessive. The reasons of holding three examinations in a year instead of one are extremely strong, since the inspection of elementary schools takes place at irregular times, and only by holding the scholarship examination once each term can we be sure to give a chance of competition to every eligible child. So as to prevent the j^oorer schools being entirely eclipsed in the com- petition by the schools in more suburban districts attended by children of richer parents, the scholarships might perhajis be provisionally allotted among the various School Board districts in proportion to their population, subject, of course, to there being sufficient candidates who reach the prescribed standard in the examination. 2. Award of Minor Scholarships. — To meet the needs of children who have passed through the higher standards of elementary schools, and, without being able to go through a full secondary school course, wish to continue for a couple of years in a higher grade school or a higher department of an elementary school, a number of scholarships should be offered of about £5 a year, in addition to free tuition. Reasons in favour of such a course are given above. These minor “ continuation ” scholarships need not be awarded by special examination, which after all is a very unsatisfactory test of ability of a child of 12. A simple method of award would be to throw these scholarships open to all children who pass the 7th Standard under the age of 13, f so far as the funds allocated for the purpose permit. Thus if a sum not exceeding £5,000 were set aside for the purpose for the first year, and the number of qualified candidates desirous of obtaining the scholarships exceed the number who can be provided for by this sum, the managers and teachers of these schools might select a certain percentage, under general directions framed by the County Council. Division of the scholarships between hoys and gms. — If “ free ” competition be admitted, the great majority of the open scholarships will undoubtedly go to boys, as is clearly shown by the last three reports of Mr. Pinches, who holds the examinations for scholarships administered by the School Board. Mr. Pinches clearly thinks that the scholarship system is on the whole less valuable in its application to girls than to boys, and the opinions of secondary school teachers appear to confirm this view. It is * The executive of the National Union of Teachers, whom I consulted on the subject of scholarships, are strongly of opinion that the value must be large if they are to be of real use. •f" The abolition of nnivcrsal individual examination under the New Code would present no difficulties, since it would be cpiite easy for the managers to ask the inspector to examine individually all children in the 7th standard under the ju-cscribed age. 81 doubtful then whether we are justified in trying artificially to increase the number of successful candidates on the girls’ side by allotting to girls a definite proportion of the scholarships irrespective of the relative merits of the candidates of the two sexes. With regard, therefore, to “Major” scholarships the field may well be left open to competition. In the case of the “Minor” scholarships enabling children to pass a couple of years at a higher grade school after passing the standards, the proportion of hoys and girls would settle itself if such scholarships were awarded on the plan suggested above. Before leaving the subject of scholarships for girls, it may be interesting to give a valuable table compiled by the head mistress of a higher grade Board school, giving full particulars of the winners of scholarships from that school for the past fifteen years.

[ 11 ] 82 3 . — Scholarships and Exhibitions leading from secondary to higher Schools . — There are at present a certain number of these scholarships and exhibitions offered every year in London (besides of course open scholarships at the Universities which are open to Londoners in common with the rest of the kingdom). Some are offered by higher colleges in London, others by secondary schools themselves, and others by City companies, or out of independent foundations. About T8,600 was expended in this way out of secondary school endowments last year, viz., i;7,000 for boys, and £1,600 for girls. The remarks on the want of system in awarding elementary scholarships, the restrictions to which they are often subject, and the multitude of independent bodies by which they are administered, apply also, though with less force, to the higher scholarships exhibitions. They apply with less force, because the greater number are awarded by the authorities of the secondary schools, i.e., by the schools from which the scholars are drawn, and in these cases there is little or no difficulty caused by reluctance of teachers to part with promising pupils, and (within limits) there is usually active competition for the examinations. Often, however, the conditions attached to the scholarships and exhibitions are unsuitable or their value insufficient to be of real use. If the Council take any action in the matter, the higher scholarships and exhibitions which they offer should be of a distinctively technical character, carrying pupils of exceptional ability to the scientific or technical departments of higher colleges, including training departments for teachers under this head. The number of such awards yearly might well be small for the present, until the inter- mediate system is in working order, and be raised hereafter as the demand justifies the increase. But their value should be fairly large, otherwise they will certainly fail to reach the class which require them, and will chiefly fall a prey to those who can afford the higher education without their aid. £60 a year for three years is certainly not too great a value, and 10 scholarships of this value would be sufficient to make the experiment. The scholarships might be tenable at University College or King’s College (Scientific or Engineering Departments), the Central Institution of the City and Guilds Institute, the Koyal College of Science, or (for women) at Bedford or possibly Queen’s College. In the section on Higher Education a condition was suggested with regard to the grant to University College, that free places should he reserved for scholars who had passed through secondary schools holding county scholarships. An addition to such free tuition of £25 a year would probably be sufficient The demand for these Higher Scholarships, though it will become very real shortly, is not at the present moment very urgent and pressing. I recommend that £600 be reserved for the purpose, and the details as to numbers, tenure and conditions be settled in concert with the authorities of the Higher Colleges. When we have a teaching university in London, its matriculation examination might perhaps be so arranged to serve as a leaving examination for secondary schools in London, and in that case the County Scholarships might go to those who stand highest in the scientific part of the examination. Or, if a severer test be required, the conduct of the examination should still be in the hands of the university. Until this desirable state of things be brought about, the Council may have to award these scholarships by means of a specially constituted board. The examination should be open to girls’ as well as boys’ schools.

The increase would still be greater for the third year, though against this is to be set the diminution caused by the falling off in scholars, who are unable to avail themselves of the scholarships for the whole three years. The idtimate cost, therefore, of the working of this scholarship scheme per annum would be about £20,000. 83 XVIIL— CONCLUSION— ADMINISTEATIVE MACHINERY. The total grants proposed in the preceding sections would amount for the first year to a sum not exceeding £80,000. The general division of the grants among the various branches of instruction and classes of institutions is shown below — 1st year’s estimate. Polytechnic institutes ... Secondary and higher grade education in Day Schools, for ex-elementary school scholars ... Higher institutions Scholarships *Art teaching (including Art Scholarships) ^Science teaching ... *... *Technology and manual instruction ^Household economy ... *Commercial subjects ... Technical Museums ... £16,000 22,000 3,800 8,000 10,000 6,000 5.000 3,200 2.000 4,000 £80,000 The only item not included in the above estimate is that for administration and (in part) inspection. It is not necessary perhaps to insist in a report to the County Council that in the working of a scheme such as I have sketched there is room for any amount of “ leakage” (to say nothing of educational blunders) if sufficient attention be not paid to the central organisation, while to dole out grants to existing institutions without any effective guarantee for the fulfilment of the conditions laid down, would not carry us far towards the effective organisation of Technical Education in London. Though, therefore, the mode of administration lies perhaps hardly within the scope of this report, I venture to add a few observations on so fundamentally important a point. (1.) The constitution of the actual Committee or Council to administer the fund is a matter outside my province. I may, however, point out the special power given to the County Council by the Technical Instruction Act to constitute for this purpose a Committee consisting partly of members of its own body, partly of others. Should the Council adopt the plan of adding others to the Committee, I think that the School Board for London, the City and Guilds Institute, the Central Governing Body of the Polytechnics, the Senate of the proposed Teaching University (when constituted), and the London Trades Council, are bodies which it would be wise to ask to nominate some of the outside members. (2.) Small advisory trade committees, representing the main groups of skilled London trades should be formed to visit and report to the Committee from time to time on the practical teaching of the more purely technical subjects. The building trades, engineering and metal trades, clothing trades, printing trades, and wood and furniture trades would form convenient groups. Each committee need not consist of more than about three members, either nominated by or possessing the confidence of their respective trades. These committees would be in lieu of inspectors for the more purely technological classes, and might be paid a small fee for loss of time in inspecting schools, &c. (3.) Other expert inspection (except so far as it would be carried out by the proposed normal science and art masters and the heads of schools of art, as proposed in the report) had better, for the present, be done to a great extent at least by occasional inspectors retained for a fee from time to time. In this way the Council will have command of a far higher order of talent than if they employed one or two men entirely, who could not conceivably be specialists in all the branches, of work to be inspected. (4.) The Technical Education Department of the Council should act as a central intelligence bureau, receiving particulars of all technical classes in the various districts, printing details of the classes held in each district which bear on each group of trades on the same handbills, and circulating these handbills through the medium of trades organisations, workmen’s clubs, and in many other ways open to a public authority, but not to individual schools or classes. I look to this as one of the most powerful agencies for co-ordinating the work of the various institutions. Both with a view to this object, and also to guard the Council against the abuse of its name by institutions receiving aid, it should be rigorously required that all circulars, bills, &c., issued by such institutions announcing or relating to the technical classes, be sent in proof to the County Council office at least two clear days before issue. (5.) The Council must in my opinion be prepared to spend £5,000 a year on the central organisation, including general administration, office staff, inspection, fees to trade committees, printing and advertising, the work of the intelligence bureau, rent and expenses of office, &c. I am confident that such an outlay will save its value many times over. If this amount be added to the first year’s estimate, it would appear that £85,000 should be allotted next year for the purposes of technical education in order to carry the above proposals into effect. * In addition to the amounts for these subjects reckoned under the heads of Schools,” &c., &c. “ Polytechnics,” “ Secondary 84 Appendix A. Digest of the replies received from the City of London Livery Companies in answer to the LETTER ADDRESSED TO THEM BY THE CoUNTY CoUNCIL, ASKING FOR PARTICULARS OF TECHNICAL Education promoted by them in London. I.— The following Companies are aiding, or have aided, Technical Education in London— * Mercers — Has no technical school under its immediate control. Grocers’ — Contributes to the City and Guilds of London Institute ; instruction in technical subjects is given at the Company’s schools, Hackney-downs. Drapers’ — In 1886, this Company established, in connection with the Metropolitan Public Elemen- tary Schools, classes in “ wood-working,” and subsequently added “ laundry-work ” and “ housewifery ” for girls ; the expenses of these classes are still for the most part met by an annual grant of 1^1,000 made by the Company. In 1887, the Company established a Technical School in connection with the People’s Palace, but this School is now under a governing body, constituted by a scheme of February, 1892. The Company has contributed altogether L‘60,000 towards this School, and is making it an annual grant of £7,000. Fishmongers’ — Contributes £4,000 a year to the City and Guilds Institute, and makes certain donations to minor objects in the City. Goldsmiths’ . — Sir Walter S. Prideaux, Clerk of the Company, has kindly sent the following memorandum for the information of the Council — “ The Goldsmiths' Company was one of the companies which combined to establish the City and Guilds of London Institute, for the advancement of technical education, 13 years ago, and they have from the first liberally supported this Institute. “ The Company’s contribution to this Institute, from its commencement to the present date, amounts to £66,714, and their fixed annual subscription is now £4,000. “ The work carried on by this Institute at its Central Institution in Exhibition-road, at the Finsbury College, and at the South London School of Art at Kennington, is well known, and need not he dealt with here. There have been 12 annual reports to the governors, all of which are accessible if required. “ In addition to their grants to the above Institute, the Goldsmiths’ Company have, during the past 10 years, contributed £3,400 in support of other existing institutions in the Metropolis where technical education is given. " The Goldsmiths’ Company have also, at their sole cost, established and endowed their Technical and Recreative Institute at New Cross. The site and buildings formerly occupied by the Royal Naval School were acquired by the company in June, 1889, and the task of adapting the old buildings, adding necessary new buildings, providing the equipment, and getting together a staff, occupied two years ; so that the Institute was not ready to commence work until October, 1891. “ The expenditure of the Company upon the site, buildings and equipment, amounts, at the present date, to £80,000, and the Company have assigned an endowment of £5,000 per annum. “It will be seen, therefore, that during the past 13 years the Goldsmiths’ Company have expended the sum of £146,714 for the promotion of technical education in the Metropolis, while they are still pledged to an annual expenditure, in the future, for the same purpose, of not less than £9,000. “ The New' Cross Institute has a governing body, composed partly of members of the Court of the Goldsmiths’ Company, and partly of co-optative members, who have no connection with the company. There is a secretary, who is required to reside at the Institute, and who has the general supervision of all the staff and work under the direction of the governors. The accounts are audited by a professional accountant, who attends frequently, for the purpose of examining the books, and who makes a quarterly report to the governors. “ The staff already appointed consists of the following ” — [Here follows a list of 51 heads of departments and instructors in the various sections . — Engineering and Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Mathematics and Physical, Special Trade Classes, Commercial and Civil Service, Art, Music, Miscellaneous and Women’s Special, and Gymnastics, besides 24 members of the Building, General, and Office Staff.] “ The library consists at present of about 5,000 volumes, but additions are constantly being made. “Prior to the opening of the Institute for work in October last, an advance prospectus was issued, and by the 1st of October, class entries to the number of 3,500 had been received. It w'as then thought prudent to decline further applications until the various departments had settled down to their work. Since that date the governors have been compelled to increase the number of classes, and to appoint additional instructors, owing to the demand which was shown to exist for instruction in subjects not comprised in the advance prospectus. As instances of these, may be mentioned the subjects of AmWlance work. Photography, Plumbing, Smithing, Piano, Harmony, and some others comprised under the head of Commercial and Civil Service preparation and General Education. “ Hitherto the entries have been most numerous in the Commercial and Civil Service preparation and general education branch of the work, and in Engineering, Chemical, Electrical, Art, Dressmaking, Cookery, Ambulance, and Music. “ The total class entries now number ... ... ... ... 7,378 quarterly „ „ „ ... ... ... ... 2,143 sessional 9,521 * See, however, Table of Contributions to City and Guilds of London Institute, page 87. 85 “ The library has been popular, the books chiefly in demand, especially for circulating purposes, have been, as perhaps might be expected, works of Action, but books of reference, history and biography have also been in request. “ It is understood that the Council only desire information as to the educational part of the work carried on at the Institute and it will therefore suffice to say that the recreative side of the work has been also very successful. Various entertainments, musical and otherwise, have been given in the great hall, to members of the Institute and others, at small charges, and have been largely attended. “ (Average attendance at each entertainment has been over 1,700.) “ The resources of the gymnasium have been taxed to the uttermost, and the swimming-bath has also, during the summer months, been in great request. The ground at the back of the Institute, which is available for cricket and otner sports, has also been a great attraction. “ The social rooms on both the men’s and women’s side of the building have been comfortably furnished, and are much used ; and the members, with the approval of the governors, have established amongst themselves clubs and societies for the promotion and practice of athletics, cricket, rowing, swimming, football, &c , chess and draughts, sketching, literature, &c., &c., [also a volunteer company attached to the 2nd West Kent Regiment.] “ The fees charged for the various classes are as follows, but some modification may be made before the commencement of the next session.” [Here follows a list of the fees. See Appendix C.] Merchant Tury/ors’— Makes a yearly grant of i>2,000 to the City and Guilds Institute, and a further grant of i‘31 10s. for prizes at the Technological examinations. The Merchant Taylors’ School is the property of this Company. Salters' — Subscribes AT .000 annually to the City and Guilds Institute, as well as additional amounts for prizes in Technology and Manual training in elementary schools. The Company also grants A650 a year for exhibitions and scholarships, and further sums as donations and subscriptions to education generally. Ironmongers' — Contributes to support of City and Guilds Institute. Clothworkers' — Contributes to City and Guilds Institute, and has otherwise aided technical education by giving subsidies to polytechnics and schools of applied art and handicrafts. The Company's action has however been principally directed towards the advancement of its own trade in the provinces. Bowyers'. — Has assisted the City and Guilds Institute, and grants exhibitions to assist students at the universities. Brewers’. — Are the governors of Dame Alice Owen’s (boys and girls) School, Islington, but has no other connection with technical education in London. Carpenters' — Contributes .A50U a year to the City and Guilds Institute and gave a donation of Al,500 towards its equipment. In addition to this, the Company in 1886 built an Institute on its estate at Stratford, at which various teqhuological subjects, chiefly bearing on the building trades, are taught ; examinations in these subjects are held under the direction of the City and Guilds Institute and the Science and Art Department. Last year the Company opened day-classes in the same building and are now making it into an organised science school. The capital and annual outlay on the Institute since its commencement, has been A12,915. Thelnstitute ishowever not within the administrative county of London. The Carpenters’ Company has otherwise promoted technical education by a course of free lectures by eminent professors in the Carpenters’ Hall, by the opening of a free technical library in the same place, and by the establishment of an examination, in arranging which the court has been assisted by the presidents of various learned societies. Further the Company has established a trade wood-carving school in connection with the Institute of British Wood-Carvers, in Chapel-street, Bedford-row, and an amateur school at King’s College. The Company also contributes towards the teaching of subjects connected with the professorships of architecture at King’s and University Colleges and has given the use of its rooms in the Carpenters’ Hall to various societies connected with the building trades. Indepen- dent of donations and subscriptions to the City and Guilds Institute, the total cost of the Company’s educational work in the last eight years has been upwards of A18,000, and further plans for the promotion of Technical Education are now being considered. Coachmakers’ and Coach H ar ness maker s’ . — Supports by occasional donations the carriage- building classes at the Westminster Schools and Regent-street Polytechnic, and gives a large number ■of medals and prizes for technical subjects connected with the coach-building industry. Coopers'. — Contributes annually to the City and Guilds Institute. Cordwainers’ . — Regularly aids the City and Guilds Institute and the Leather Trades’ School at Bethnal-green. Cutlers . — Contributes AT05 a year to the City and Guilds Institute, besides which it has the following exhibitions at the value of £30 each — 3 at Cambridge, 1 at Oxford, 1 at London University, 1 at King’s College, London ; has also made grants to the London Society for the Extension of University Teaching. For the special purpose of promoting and sustaining an improvement in the manufacture of cutlery, the Company has awarded medals and prizes, and arranged a course of lectures on subjects connected with the trade, and appropriates £100 a year for apprenticing two boys to the cutlery trade in London. Dyers'. — Contributes to support of City and Guilds Institute. Farriers' . — Has organised a scheme for the promotion of technical instruction and registration of shoeing-smiths, and has provided a course of free lectures on the Principles and Practice of Horse- shoeing at the Goldsmiths’ Institute, People’s Palace, and Polytechnic. 86 Joiners '. — This company, out of its limited means, gives, jointly with the Carpentei’s’ Company, money prizes and medals for wood-carving and joinery at an exhibition held every fourth year at the Carpenters’ Hall. Leathersellers ' . — Contributes ;£500 a year to the City and Guilds Institute and £250 to the Leather Trades School, besides having given £500 towards the equipment of the latter. The members of the court of this Company are also Governors of Colfe’s School, Lewisham, which the Company has liberally supported. Painters ' . — This Company has from time to time held competitions for travelling scholarships, to enable students to proceed to Italy or elsewhere, and to exhibit in the Painters’ Hall copies of drawings and sketches taken during their travels, the Company providing the means for such travels. Plasterers ' . — Gives an annual donation to the City and Guilds Institute, and offers prizes in connection with the art of plastering. Stationers ' — Controls the Stationers’ School in Bolt-court, E.C., shortly to be removed to Hornsey. The governors are most anxious to provide instruction in applied science, but are hampered on account of the limited funds at their disjjosal, and they point this fact out for the consideration of the Technical Education Committee in case they should see fit to allocate a fund for the purpose. A system of apprenticeship to the stationery trades is fostered through various members of the Company, and reference is made to Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode, Waterlow and Sons, and other well known stationers for further particulars of this system. Tylers' and Bricklayers ' . — Contributes to the City and Guilds Institute, and is interested in the Regent-street Polytechnic. The Company also provides premiums for apprenticing boys as working bricklayers, but this branch of the work has not met with the support that was hoped for. Turners '. — Gives prizes at an annual exhibition held in the Mansion house. Wax Chandlers '. — Technical education is aided indirectly through the trust funds of this Company, administered by the trustees of the City of London Parochial Foundation under their central scheme. M'eavers '. — Has contributed to the City and Guilds Institute, but has not sufficient funds to support a technical school. The Company holds an annual competition, and awards prizes in con- nection with the i^roduction of woven silks and velvets. Blacksmiths ' . — From want of funds has no Technical Institution under its control ; but holds periodically an Exhibition of hammered-ironwork, when the freedom of the Company and money prizes are given to successful exhibitors. Skinners '. — Contributes annually to the City and Guilds Institute, and also contributes to the Leather Trades School at Bethnal-green and to the Technological Prize Fund connected with the same Listitute. Assists by large grants more than one of the recently established Polytechnics of the Metropolis, and makes smaller grants from time to time to various institutions at which Technical instruction is provided. The Skinners’ School for girls at Stamford-hill is supported by this Company. Plumbers’ — Promotes Technical Education in Plumbing by (a) laying down syllabuses and courses of instruction, (b) holding examinations for plumbers on the subjects included in the courses, (c) registering those who have passed the examinations as qualified plumbers, (d) promoting the establishment of technical classes for plumbers. The Company’s organisation includes Educational Councils in the chief towns of Great Britain and Ireland, and provincial county councils have co- operated by offering scholarships to plumbers desirous of qualifying as teachers.

List of Science Schools in the County of London in 1892 (in connection with the Science and Art Depaetjient). [Notk — The following table has been kindly furnished by the Science and Art Department. It is at once wider and narrower in its scope than the lists of science classes given in the remaining appendices to this report. It is wider inasmuch as it includes a full list of both day and evening, higher and elementary classes, whether or not they are under the School Board. It is narrower inasmuch as it only embraces classes which w'ork in connection with South Kensington. I have therefore thought it worth while to give it in full as the official list of science classes aided by the Science and Art Department. The numbers in brackets attached to the names of the schools are their official index number in the Science and Art Department’s Eegister.] Name of School. Number under instruction.

TABLE SHOWING THE OCCUPATIONS OF THE STUDENTS ATTENDING TECHNICAL CLASSES IN LONDON, 1891-2. Note— Some subjects might be classified under either of two heads, e.g., Wood Carving might bo included under “Art” or under “Furniture Trades,” Practical Geometry or Applied Mechanics under “ Science,” “ Engineering Trades,” or “ Building Trades,” Chemistry under “ Science ” or “ Chemical Trades,” and so forth. In each of these cases the class is given under the head which appeared the most suitable. Commercial subjects are not included in the table, since the occupations of those attending classes in modern languages, &c., are not universally kept by the Institutions, and are a matter of less special interest than those of the more purely technical students. For the same reason Mathematics and Domestic Subjects are omitted. The particulars given in the table are supplied by the Institutions themselves, and they are responsible for any inaccuracies in their returns. Only those classes are included which have furnished returns. Classes held under the School Board or in connection with Higher Colleges (except their evening classes), and the lectures given under the Society for the Extension of University Teaching, are omitted. Particulars are given of the technical classes held by the School Board and the Higher Colleges under sections 7, 8, 10, 13 and 15 of the Report. All the classes included in this Table are evening classes, except in the case of “ Schools of Art,” the day students of which are included.

(e) That without committing itself to details, the Council considers that every district of London ought to be adequately provided with technical education of every grade, rising from the school to the workshop and the universitj', and approjmiate to the chief occupations of its inhabitants ; that existing institutions of each grace should be systematically co-ordinated to avoid over-lapping, and to provide for continuous education ; and that early ])rovision shoiild be made, in whatever manner may be found expedient, for supplying the gaps at present existing; that the most pressing want is further inducements and facilities for the poorest parents to keep their children at some secondary or continuation school after leaving the elementary school; that the Council therefore instructs the Technical Education Board to provide as its first duty considerable further facilities for practical and technical education in the poorer and manufacturing districts of London, ju’ovided that no scholarship be given of a less value than £10 per annum ; and that the Council, recognising the value of the comineheusivc report prepared by Mr. Llewellyn Smith, refers it for the information of the Technical Education Board. (/) 'I'hat, subject to an estimate being submitted by the Finance Committee as required by the .statute, this Council is of opinion that the sum of £29,000. being the balance of the sum of £.'10.000 directed by resolution of the 12th April, 1892, to be carried to suspense account, should be a))propriated and contributed in respect of the year ending 31st March. 1893, for the purposes of Technical Education • and is further of opinion that a sum equal to one-third of the total amount estimated to be receivable bv the Council under the Local Taxation (Customs and Excise) Act, 1890. in respect of tlie vear endin'o- 31st ]\Iarch, 1891, should be similarly appropriated and contributed; and that it be referred to the Finance Committee to submit to the Council the necessary formal resolutions.
