Abstract
THE annual conference of the Association of Teachers in Technical Institutions was held on June 5-7 in London, and in the course of his presidential address, Mr. J. Paley Yorke claimed very strongly that technical education is definitely education and is as essential as any other branch of educational activity. He said that technical education is essentially scientific education, and urged that the advance of scientific knowledge and the development of the applications of science to industry and manufacture have been so tremendous that the time has arrived when a special committee of inquiry should be appointed to investigate the whole field of technical education in relation to industry and to education generally. It is now forty years since there has been any national inquiry on technical education, and during that time it has developed beyond the recognition of many of those who imagined themselves to be its guardians.
