In what manner Germany Is applying

lucid report written by DR.. Frederick
Rose, British consul at Stuttgart,
which was published recently by the
British foreign office and epltomized
In the London Telegraph"
In former pamphlet this careful
student of German educational methods
showed that the expenditure incurred
by the German states for chemical In
struction had been amply repaid by the
creation and rapid growth of most i'm
portant chemical industries and by the
addition OF large sums 10 the sum total
OF national wealth. Within the last
fifty years, by means OF a methodical
campaign, Germany has risen to the
front rank in chemical industries, not
only rendering herself Independent OF
many imports from other nations, but
depriving foreign countries of many
lucrative branches of chemical manu-
facture by substituting her products
for their own. The annual production
OF the German chemical industries IS
valued at about ESQ. 600, 600, which is
considered as the interest upon the
capital invested by the German states

ways manifested deep appreciation OF
the vital Importance OF technical educa-
tion and OF the progress of pure and
applied science. the German technical
high schools, DR.. Rose points out, owe a
heavy debt of gratitude.
His interest has been displayed in
many ways-by participation in educa-
tional conferences, by the admission Of
the directors OF Prussian technical high
schools 10 the Prussian upper house. and
finally by honoring the Prussian tech
nical high schools with the right of con-
ferring the new degree of doctor of en-
gineeripg upon the occasion Of the CEN

Industry With Scholarship.

Owing to imperial and royal encourage
ment. the equality OF the technical high
schools of the nineteenth century with
the four faculties of the old universities,
with their honorable historical records
OF many centuries. has been recognized.
DR.. Rose considers that educationalism
has attained a certain measure OF perfec-
tion in the last OF its three great his
torical periods. which are marked by
First-The appearance OF the universi-
ties as living protest against the
dreary and fruitless schoIasticism of the
Middle Ages.
Second-The foundation OF academies
with the principle of experimental re-
search as the basis Of natural sciences.
Third-Finally the creation Of techni-
cal high schools, with the principle of
the systematic application of scientific
methods to industrial purposes.
