Excerpt from Technical Education: Abroad and at HomeIf, however, a pupil is able to continue daily study, he may, if not sufficiently far advanced for a higher school, enter what is called the secondary school, where he is taught not only ordinary subjects, but also the governmental organisation of Switzerland, geometry, the elements of physical science, with indications Of its application to agriculture and other industries, and drawing. The course Of the secondary school extends over three years, but the work of each year is a complete whole.From any stage Of the secondary school, or, if a boy is sufficiently far advanced at the end of the the first six years, from the primary school, he passes either to the Gymnasium (high Classical School) or to the Industrial School. If he is to enter one Of the learned professions, he chooses the former, if he is to be engaged in engineering, architecture, manufacturing, etc., he chooses the latter. With the Gymnasia, I have nothing at present to do. They have no connection with technical education. Their course consists of literature, philosophy, and pure science, and extends over a period of six and a half years. From them the student who wishes to pros ecute professional studies, passes to the University of Zurich, whose efficiency may be estimated by the fact that it has a staff Of seventy nine professors.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
