Middle and Lower Professional Schools.
2. In Prussia the schools for the various technical branches
are generally kept separate, although occasionally the schools
existing in the same town are under one management. As inter-
mediate institutions, in the sense here intended, must be considered
the higher“ Schools of Mechanical Engineering. They are
devoted to the training of foremen and of technical constructors in
‘he machine industry and other allied ones, and also to affording
future proprietors and managers of such industrial establishments an
dpportunity of acquiring the necessary technical knowledge. For ad-
mission into the lowest class of a higher School of Mechanical En-
gineering a preparatory knowledge is demanded, which, besides the
necessary previous practical training, is equivalent to that required
for the one year’s military service.
The time-table for the four half-yearly classes, with the number
of weekly hours for the single subjects is the following.
