17. Mr. J. G. Maxwell Gaknett, C.B.E. — Higher Tech- 

 nical Schools in a National System of Ediication. 



The paper included a description of his diagram of a 

 national system of education. The diagram illustrated cer- 

 tain recommendations recently published by the Federal 

 Council of Lancashire and Cheshire Teachers' Aseociations. 

 The diagram represented sixteen different types of education ; 

 nine different types of school or college ; a system of scholar- 

 ehips and maintenance allowances sufficient to secure that 

 every kind of education is brought within the reach of all 

 young people of sufficient educational promise ; and the num- 

 bers of young people who should be attending any particular 

 type of school or receiving any particular type of education 

 at any given age. As indicated by its title, the paper was 

 especially concerned with the provision of the highest 

 technological education in the national system of education 

 represented in the diagram. 



A General Discussion followed.
