Abstract
IT does not often happen, in these days of slow Parliamentary progress, that two educational measures, having an important bearing on the industrial and the intellectual welfare of the country, are read a second time within a week of each other. In our last issue we gave some account of Sir Henry Roscoe's Bill for the provision of technical education, and expressed our strong hope that it would pass through the remaining stages this session. No less heartily do we wish success to Mr. Stuart Render's Bill for providing intermediate and technical education in Wales, which was read a second time on May 15, after a debate which practically resolved itself into a chorus of approbation. It is, indeed, high time that something should be done. Secondary education, both in England and Wales, stands sadly in need of organization, but the claims of the Principality (to which the present measure is confined) are far stronger than those of England, so far as the necessity of immediate action is concerned.
