Book Description

Excerpt from The Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry, 1899, Vol. 18: A Monthly Record for All Interested in Chemical Manufactures It is a broad question which is the better system; that which places both the pecuniary provision for the highest education of young men and the regulation of the plan of education itself in the hands of the State, or that which leaves these matters for private initiative, and to corporations or boards of governors representing voluntary contributors. Of course both systems have their advantages as well as their drawbacks, but it can hardly be denied that the voluntary system is more liable to leave gaps of the kind which I have mentioned. But it is now time for me to turn from considerations of a personal character to a contemplation of the general features of those industries with which Hurter was identified, and to say a few words on their present state and on their immediate future, so far as it is safe to foretell the latter.
