TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —In reply to “ H.C.,” I wish to state that I have nothing to do with the Canterbury Technical Institute, whose exhibition be sneaks so kindly of. These classes are conducted by my sons, who bold certificates under the new Technical Schools Act. It is not everyone who thinks of these classes so kindly as “ H.C. ” does, several persons looking upon them as rivals to existing institutions. No idea could bo more absurd. A knowledge of the first principles of art spreads a.taste, and this tends to fill rather than empty tho larger institutions. England has at length awakened to see that upon the technical knowledge _ of her workers largely depends the position she will take as a manufacturing nation. Tho excellence of the articles bearing the brand “made in Germany” is proving a positive menace to English manufacture. This excellence is largely due to the technical knowledge of the workers.—l am, &c., A. W. BICKERTON.
