Abstract
THE widefelt need for drastic improvements in our systems of education makes the present period a critical one. We are on the verge of important changes which will probably be made by the Board of Education in its rules and regulations, and this naturally makes the present an anxious time to us as teachers. In addition, we are threatened with what may almost be called a revolt of the ratepayer, who is often far from realising fully the intimate relationship between industrial progress and technical education. Though this subject has been discussed almost ad nauseam, I propose to put before you some striking figures derived from the recently published Census of Production, of 1907.
