OVERLAPPING BETWEEN SECONDARY AND OTHER EDUCATION. 227 



The results of the inquiry as regards technical schools and colleges 

 in England are shown in Table IV. For the particulars supplied by 

 the principals of the institutions included in the table the Committee 

 desires to express their thanks. When no definite information was given 

 as to number of students, a line is placed in the appropriate column 

 instead of a number. It may be noticed that Table IV. does not include 

 some of the colleges and technical departments of universities named 

 in Table II. as technical institutions recognised by the Board of Educa- 

 tion. From a list issued by the Board it has been possible, however, 

 to find the number of day students taking technical courses in such 

 institutions as are not included in Table IV. ; and the results are shown 

 in Table V. The total number of day technical students included in 

 Tables IV. and V. will be seen to be about 3,900. 



Table V. — Technical Students in Schools and Universities (England) 

 not included in Table IV., but recognised by the Board of Education 



as Technical Instihitions .

* Including in the case of the University of Birmingham forty-one students 

 taking subjects preliminary to courses in engineering; in Leeds University 

 thirty-three such students; and in the East London Technical College twenty- 

 three such students. 



It will be seen from Table IV. that the Municipal School of Tech- 

 nology, Manchester, occupies a leading position among technical in- 

 stitutions. There are nearly 350 day students, none of whom are. 

 under sixteen years of age, taking organised courses; and in addition, 

 nearly 500 students attend special courses during the day. The 

 opinion of the Principal, Mr. J. H. Reynolds, upon the relation 

 between secondary and technical institutions is, therefore, of value. 

 Mr. Reynolds writes in reply to the Committee's circular: — 



On the general question I do not think that technical schools should undertake 

 work which is peculiarly the province of secondary schools. I am at the same 

 time aware that there are difficulties in carrying out a policy of this kind in
