The Society of Arts Committee approve of the system of pupilage, but recommend an extension and improvement of the preliminary scientific education given in ordinary col- leges, so that students should enter on their pupilage as well instructed as foreign students enter the special schools of the Continent. The proficiency of students in the college should be tested by examinations, and diplomas conferred, not, however, as certifying competency to practise, but merely vouching that they have attained such proficiency in the theoretical studies as to be fit to enter on a practical pupilage with advantage to themselves and their employers. The examination should be conducted with the aid of two independent examiners, one appointed by the Government, and one by the leading Institution of the profession. After pupilage, a voluntary public examination might be held, partly practical and partly theoretical, with the view of testing whether the young men have really profited by the pupilage ; and diplomas should be granted to young men »f undoubted merit. They recommend that persons taking pupils should give she preference, as far as possible, to those adducing evi- dence of the possession of adequate scientific instruction. Professor Fleeming Jenkin points out forcibly and lucidly he defects of the present English system, and the great superiority of the foreign one as regards theoretical know- ledge. His views as to improvement will be found concisely stated on page 204. Mr. Scott Russell laments the evils threatened to this country by the deficiency of technical education generally, and recommends large measures for averting them. Professor Leone Levi recommends the establishment of an industrial university, or a superior technical institute, for the direction and promotion of technical, industrial, and professional instruction in the United Kingdom.
