There are apjjroxiniately 35,000 Ixiys leaving London ele- 

 mentary schools o\ery year, of whom roitg^hly two-thirds enter 

 imskilled trades. Very tew of these ever have a chance of be- 

 comiiio^ skilled craftsmen. It is to reduce this proportion and to 

 assist in meetins^^ the competition of foreio^ners, large numbers 

 of whom Hock to London, that the Trade Schools have been 

 established. The curriculum is designed in all cases to carry on 

 the <2'(Mieral education of the pupils, as well as to give s])eciali«;ed 

 technical training. The pn^spcctus states : — 



Character, cultivated ohservation. inielligeiice, and adaptaliilitv are 

 the essential factors aimed at. 



The boys gi i out after due. two or three years" training, and 

 become apprenticed or w<.rk as im])rovers. The i>r(^siiectus 

 further says : —

 he said that where employers have had an opportunity of giving the 

 products of these schools a fair test, they have found the results of the 

 system highly satisfactory, and have readily expressed their appreciation. 



Some proviticial towns have moved in the same direction, 

 and what are called I'rei^aratory Trade Schools have more re- 

 cently been established in Leeds, Liverjiool, Manchester, etc. 

 The course is a two-years' one. General education is contimied,
