William calls attention to the fact that
for some years Germany has led the
world In manual training schools. As
a result OF this training Germany has
been transformed from an almost
purely agricultural country to a great
manufacturing and Industrial COM
munity. As far back as 1891 there were
nine technical high schools and poly

the government, thirty-one schools OF
agriculture. fifteen schools OF mining.
fifteen schools Of architecture. nine Of
forestry, twenty-three OF art industry.
and seven for public instruction In
