Future of Technical Colleges

Abstract

WE have read with interest the communications by Mr. E. B. Moullin1 and Dr. H. Lowery2, which comment upon our letter3 on this subject. These letters fail to offer further constructive suggestions, and we therefore focus attention again upon some essential and immediate needs of technical education, particularly in the advanced sphere, and upon a scheme for their fulfilment. We would urge that so far as possible, discussion should be concrete and definite. It is not enough to speak vaguely of ideal systems, people's university, etc., without specifying what is meant, or how to attain this ideal.
