PAYMENT BY RESULTS. 
To the Editor of the Journal of Science. 
Sir, — I have been much edified with Mr. Galloway’s suggestion 
in your last issue, that the permanent officials of the Science 
and Art Deparment, as well as the Science teachers, should be 
paid by “ results.” If anyone asks what results are to be con- 
sidered satisfactory, I should say the decrease of the foreign 
designers, chemists, engineers, &c., in our manufactories, and 
their substitution by natives. Did I see any movement in this 
direction I should feel convinced that the Department was at 
any rate moving in the right direction. 
I think a return of the number of aliens filling places of trust 
in our industrial establishments would be a very instructive 
document, and would throw no little light on the question of 
technical education. Perhaps some Irish M.P. might move for 
such a return if no Englishman dare. — I am, &c., 
Incola.
