TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
INTENTIONS OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. [BY TELEGRAPH.PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Timartt, Saturday. Mr. Hogben*, Secretary for Education, in explaining to a meeting of teachers the bearings of the Manual and Technical Instruction Act, recommended getting the co-operation of the businesses and trades to make' the Act a success. He intimated that at the conference of inspectors the syllabus would probably be revised to give time for manual instruction in " school classes." The Boards of Education should make early arrangements for instructors. The teachers emphasised, as important, the experience at Home that it is useless attempting to give technical education to pupils whose general education fs deficient. Hence "continuation schools" would be necessary to fit pupils for the technical schools. It has been found difficult to get pupils for continuation schools, but this might disappear if they were made a necessary stepping-stone to the technical schools. It is not intended to supply instructors, but the two best men available will be appointed to go round-the districts and assist the local authorities to organise classes. ■ •' - V
