Technical education for commerce
Year: 1906
Type: article
Abstract: I imagine that to many of my audience tonight there must\nappear to be something incongruous about the title of this paper.\nTechnical Schools are well understood in these countries to mean\ninstitutions that educate students for industrial life. There is\nno very great definiteness attaching to the term Technical Education.\nThere is in particular some haziness as to where "teaching\nthe practice of any trade or industry or employment" begins\nand "instruction in the principles of science and art applicable\nto industries" leaves off. But there is a pretty widespread impression\nthat Technical Education means education for industry,\nfor the workshop; and that it does not include education for\ncommerce, for the counting-house. The latter has come to be\ncalled "Commercial Education"; and schools for the promotion\nof Commercial Education, where they exist, are usually called\nSchools of Commerce rather than Technical Schools.
