Abstract
SEVERAL papers on the training of engineers have recently come under our notice, and it seems worth while to bring together some of the expressions of views upon this important subject. It is difficult, if not impossible, to lay down any hard and fast line as to the course to be adopted by a youth who wishes to become a qualified engineer, for the way to follow must depend largely upon the position, age, prepotency and previous training of the aspirant. Assuming, however, that the principles of science have been studied at school, with practice in the physical laboratory, the question is, what is the next step to be taken? The answers to this are many and various, as will be gathered from the following notes from recent papers on the subject.
