    education in schools, and the Department of Education lias given it every encourage- ment, well knowing that nobody can become a skilled mechanic or head of a workshop, or teacher of technical education, without being first well-grounded in fundamental scientific principles, and that well-qualified persons are very much needed in these days, when factories and workshops are springing up on all sides. For instance, in some districts, it has been lately settled that boys in elementary schools should be given rudiments of technical education. Again, the Department of Education has just organised in Tokio a Technical School under its own jurisdic- tion. It is to be greatly regretted that all these having been but very recently started, no results can as yet be shown of them, and nothing beyond the photograph of the Technical School just spoken of, is exhibited here. In regard to other technical schools, public and private, such as Art Schools, Schools of Architecture, of Pottery, etc., the lack of time has not enabled us to prepare a large number of exhibits. The only institution tolerably represented being Kaikoshia, a private school of Japanese Architecture (see No. 23 and Nos. 32-41). Some of the exhibits from this school are certainly worth the visitor’s attention, although even in this case, the representation is not such as could have been made, if sufficient time had been allowed. A.—Apparatus and Reference-Books used in Teaching of Apprentices and in Schools of Architecture. (1.) Blacksmith’s Tools aot» Specimens of Blacksmith’s Woek. (1 set, with 18 articles.) This set not only represents tools used in teaching apprentices, but those in general use by the trade. The same remark holds good of other sets of tools. (2.) Metal-woekee’s Tools. (1 set, 33 Articles.)] (3.) Wood-Sawee’s Tools. (1 set, 11 Articles.) (4.) Caepentee’s Tools. (1 set, 93 Articles.) (5.) Models of Wood-Joints. (32 Articles.) This gives some of the many methods of joining pieces of wood made use of by carpenters. For the practical application of these methods, see the Model, No. 33. (6.) Joinee’s oe Dooe-Makee’s Tools. (1 set, 32 Articles.) (7.) Models of Joineey and Cabinet-Waee. (8 Articles.) In our country, the trade of “ sashimonoya” (cabinet-maker’s) is entirely separate from that of “tate- guya ” (joiners). Of the present set, the first five models show the methods of constructing the cabinet-ware, i.e. of joining pieces of wood in various kinds of dove- tails. The remaining three are specimens of the joiner’s work; sliding doors, &c. For further models of doors, &c., see No. 33. Tools used by cabinet-makers are taken partly from the carpenters, partly from the joiners, and are not therefore exhibited here. (8.) Coopee’s Tools and Specimens of Coopee’s Woek. (1 set, 37 Articles.) (9.) Wood-Tdenee’s Tools and Specimens of Wood-Tuening. (1 set, 26 Articles.) (10.) Wood-Caevee’s Tools and Specimens of Wood-Caeving. (1 set, 22 Articles.) (11.) Peinting-Block Woekee’s Tools and Specimens of Peinting-Block. (1 set, 25 Articles). (12.) Ivoey-Caeyee’s Tools and Specimens of Ivoey-Caeving. (1 set, 58 Articles.) There are many kinds of carving, such as metal, stone, wood, bamboo, tusk, horn, and shell carving, but the exhibits from No. 10 downward will give an idea of principal kinds among them. For tools used in metal-engraving, see those for copper-engraving used by the Deaf-Mutes, Class 54, No. 25.
