Abstract
FEW can read the address of Dr. C. W. Siemens to the Midland Institute, which appears in another place in our columns (p. 619), without admitting that of all living men Dr. Siemens has the best right to speak upon the relations between scientific education and the scientific industries. Himself a product of the educational system of Germany, and one of the foremost, if not in his own line the foremost, of scientific men in the industrial world, and in the land of his adoption, he yet uses no unmeaning terms when he tells us that the particular form of technical education afforded by that characteristic institution, the German Polytechnicum, βis certainly inapplicable to the condition of things which we find in this country.β
