SCHOOL OF METALLURGY IN

SHEFFIELD.

Lord 'Wham!liffe presided at a public meeting held in
the Sheffield Council Hall an Thursday afternoon, to con-
sider the advisalloness of establishing a school for the
study of metallurgy and practical mechanical science.
Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M.P. and the leading merchants and
manufacturers of thc town were present. The noble-
Chairman having strongly advocated the proposed
school, the Rev. Mr. Atkins on, principal of the Sheffield
Collegiate School, stated the course of study which will
be pursued at the proposed ins:itution, which he hoped
to see established in connection with the school over
which he presides.—The Mayor of Sheffield moved
a resolution that, in the opinion of the meeting,
the formation of a school of practical science and
metallurgy would greatly benefit the interests of Sheffield,
and recommending its establishment. In the course of his
address the mayor said that the great steel houses in Ger-
may were putting forth great efforts in order to eclipse
Sheffield at the forthcoming exhibition. Mr. Roebuck,.M.F*,
seconded the resolution. After some introductory renaa:k.s

the hon. gentleman said—We are now open to the compoliv
tion of the whole world; and I have heard some vet/
mournful predictions of what will be the consequence of the'
Exhibition that is going to take place this year. lam told
by persons competent to judge, that the English manufac-
turer will be beaten on his own standing place, and that
the manufacturers in Sheffield will find superiors in their
own art amongst the manufacturers of Germany. It
this ha the case what is the reason? Can it be said;
that there is more of capacity in the German manuf c-
turer ? Not at all, for lam vain enough to think that the
Englishman is equal to any other man in the world. (Hear,
hear.) But if you take a German and instruct him—it You
teach him the principles of his art, and give him the scie nee
which ought to guide him, and leave the Englishman to
blunder in ignorance, you need not wonder if the English-
man is conquered in the race. (Hear, hear.) And that
it should be so is a slur upon this great country at the
present time ; and that you, the people of Sheffield, with
everything which nature can supply to you—supplied
to the fullest extent around—should be in a situation for
be beaten and conquered by the continental naanfac-
turers, is a disgrace to the town and the people of Shef-
field. (Hear, hear.) The sooner they got out of the
difficulty the better. The way to meet it is to instruct those
who are to guide the artisan ; and when the Mayor said he
did not want to have a professor in his establishment, but a
man educated in the town, to pick out and guide the artisan,
he stated what ought to be the feeling of every mercantile
man in this town—he ought to have ready at his hands the
means of conquering the difficulties which nature has placed
in his path. The resolution was adopted, and a committee
of highly influential gentlemen appointed to organise the
details, and to obtain funds for the formation of the school.
