Abstract
HAVING just read Prof. Perry's address on “Oxford and Science,” I am tempted to give my own views on technical education for the Government service, and especially for the service of India, with which I have been connected since 1869. My qualifications for this discussion are chiefly that I was Director of the Imperial Forest School at Dehra Dun, in India, for five years, and Deputy Director of that school for four years, and during those nine years I always instructed the students personally in one of their branches of study. The excellence of the Dehra Dun Forest School has lately been recognised by the French Government, which has decided to send its Tonquin and Cochin China foresters there to complete their technical training, after having learned European forestry at Nancy.
