SUCCESS OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
"Perhap3 more than ■anything' els.e," aaid the Hon. Geo. Fowlds when speaking recently at the Technical College, Christchurch, "the success of technical education depends on the employers of labour themselves." If the employers' of labour would only recognise the value of the work done by the students by offering rewards for superior equipment, they would make the attendance and work at the college much more attractive to the young people. If the employers could give time off, especially- in the day time, with&ut loss of pay, it would help very and he thought that arrangements might be made by which the time spent in the classes should count as part of the apprenticeship. A great deal in the direction of encouraging students was being done in Great Britain, and to put? things in operation in New Zealand might require legislation;but if the managers and the stiff and the employers of labour, and even the employees, were to discuss the question am) come to some agreement, he had no doubt Parliament would be willing to pass legislation that would make sunh a scheme possible.
