Abstract
THE annual conference of the Association of Teachers in Technical Institutions was held at Newcastle-on-Tyne on June 9 and 10. In his presidential address, Mr. F. C. Clarke, of the Technical College, West Ham, emphasised the fact that technical education is not at present understood by many of our educationists. Mr. Fisher, in an article in the Teachers, World, wrote that he was able to compare in their effects upon national power the expenditure in technical education and pure science, and to declare without hesitation in favour of pure science. What did Mr. Fisher mean by technical education and pure science? How can one be separated from the other? They merge into each other at innumerable points.
