TECHNICAL 'I'f:11N1\G.
The greater part of this section of
the report is taken up with the report
of the inspector of Iecllntcal education
and the report of the inspector of con-
111:untion classes. In regent to techni-
c.' training, Mr. A. 11. Leake, the in-
spector, says: -`Tire introduction of
net, nature study, and constructive
work should do, and are doing, much
to give a more practical trend to Pub-
lic school education, but a curriculum
e•1 paper without efficient teachers is
of little value. Froth observation and
rs. '!v,ndence I nm forced to the con -
(w .. a Iliat a large number of our
leachers are e.!hout the necessary
knowle11ge to 4 arable them to teach
Riese subjects. A small departmental
grant would encourage their introduc-
tion. This would only need to be con-
tinued until they were firmly estab-
lahed, and their value recognized. To
rive to the teachers the knowledge luck-
ing, steps such us the following might
L.• taken: -L The issue of bulletins by
the department. 2. Establishing centres
..1 instruction. 3. Encouraging corre-
spondence regarding difficulties. 4.
The institution of small circulating lib-
rsr•ies containing (say) twenty of the
best books on these subjects, accom-
panied by a brief explanatory pamph-
let.
"Up to the present our educational
s}stem has concerned itself almost en-
t!'•ely with preparation for college lite
and the so-called learned professions,
and arose who have neither the inclina-
tion nor the opportunity to lake up ei-
ther have been neglected and not con-
sidered fit subjects for educational ef-
fort. Every interest in the province de-
mands consideraliorn and schools of the
following classes are required: -1. Ag-
ricultural high Schools or classes.
2. Technical high Schools or classes.
3. Commercial high Schools or classes.
t. Academic High Schools."
A number of recommendations are
also made in reference to continuation
classes requisite, it is claimed, "to bridge
the gulf between the rural school and
tit Ontario Agricultural College."
