Abstract
ENGINEERING in its various branches takes so large and important a part in the industrial activities of modern nations that no pains are too great which will secure for our engineers a suitable and adequate school and college training, supplemented by a judiciously organised scheme of practical work in the shops and drawing office. More especially is this the case in this country, where, owing to the satisfaction which has followed previous success, manufacturers have been insufficiently alive to the fact that for many years other nations have been steadily building up efficient schemes of technical and professional education at the cost of much enterprise and greater self-sacrifice, with the natural result that our supremacy, long undisputed in these spheres of industry, has been undermined, and in some degree wrested from us.
