Report on a Loan Collection of Mechanical and Physical Apparatus, 

 designed hy the Sub- Committee of the Liverpool Free Public Museum, 

 for the Use of Schools and Science Teachers, in accordance tvith the 

 Government Grant in Aid of Technical Education. Commenced 

 June, 1891. 



The experience gained by the working of a Collection of Circulating 

 Museum Cabinets, containing specimens of Natural History, Mineralogy 

 and Economic Products, established in 1884, seemed fully to justify the 

 extension of the collection, in the direction of a series of appliances 

 illustrating the details of Technical instruction. 



A meeting of Head Masters and Mistresses in Training, Voluntary 

 and Board Schools was convened on Saturday, January 30th. 



Mr. Hewitt and other Teachers attended. After inspecting the 

 apparatus, they assembled in the Board Koom, and notes were made of 

 their remarks and suggestions, which were considered to be uniformly 

 encouraging. 



A second meeting, consisting of Science Teachers, was well attended, 

 and their approbation of the scheme was warmly expressed. 



Mr. Paden has prepared a catalogue of the apparatus and appliances. 



The collection will have to be brought into circulation by instalments.
