Abstract
CIRCULAR 776 was issued by the Board of Education on June 20, 1911, which date was near the commencement of the long vacation, and made it practically impossible for the governing authorities of technical institutions to introduce any necessary amendments into the schemes of instruction for the present session. In its general arrangements the scheme is, without doubt, excellent, and teachers familiar with certain of the local group course systems will probably at first conclude that it will fit the modern conditions of the group course system very accurately. More careful study, however, reveals the fact that there are enormous difficulties in the way of its immediate adoption, and the smaller technical institutions in particular will be very hard hit by the condition bringing the scheme into operation during the present session. These difficulties exist with reference to both day and evening work, but it is in connection with the latter that the matter is one of great urgency, and the following remarks will therefore deal only with the principal changes affecting evening instruction.
