Abstract
A PARLIAMENTARY paper has just been issued in which is given an abstract of returns furnished to the Department of Science and Art, showing the manner in which, and the extent to which the councils of counties and county boroughs in England and Wales, and the county councils, town councils, and police commissioners of police burghs are devoting funds to the purposes of science, art, and technical and manual instruction. The returns were made by these bodies in response to a letter sent to them in December, 1892, by the Education Department. Much of the information contained in them was noted in these columns on August 28 (p. 404). It is remarked in the present returns: “A noticeable feature with regard to the work of the county boroughs is that many of the councils have either erected or decided to erect, technical schools, or have taken over existing schools, for the purpose of supplying technical instruction under their direct control, to which they have decided to apply the whole of the funds at their disposal, which in some cases include the proceeds of a rate levied under the Act of 1889.”
