Abstract
THE success of any system of technical instruction or higher education depends ultimately upon the preparatory education of the students in our technical schools and other institutions of higher education. The results hitherto obtained from the work of colleges and technical schools in this country have been discounted seriously by the inadequacy in the nature and supply of the education for boys of school age. Mr. V. A. Mundella, in an address delivered last year to the Association of Teachers in Technical Institutions, directed attention to the subject, and also by means of curves illustrating recent statistics demonstrated the serious leakage of children at twelve and thirteen years of age, who afterwards receive no education whatever.
