TRADE SCHUdl.S AS AIDs TO INDUSTRY. 



Until recently there was a dirference of opinion in Norili 

 and South C Germany as t<> the nature of the instruction to be 

 imparted in these schools. In Berlin the instruction was purely 

 theoretical with no workshops training, but the Ahniich sys- 

 tem of having a workshop for every trade or calling is now 

 being generally adopted. The great success of the Munich 

 schools is to be seen from the fact already mentioned, that only 

 lo per cent, of the lads in thai town remain unskilled workers. 

 The growth of these schools in Munich, during the six years 

 prior to 1913. is shewn in the following table: —
