Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from German Technical Schools To what extent is the commercial and industrial success of a nation dependent upon technical education? In these days of sharp competition, of small margins, of rapid distribution of commodities, when our antipodes of yesterday are our neighbors of to-day, when the entire world is the market for the manufacturer, what emphasis is to be given to technical training? These are formidable questions. The nation which answers them successfully will gain industrial supremacy. Other elements, as wages, co-operation, labor unions, tariff and taxation, certainly enter as influential factors; but not one of them has such transcendent importance as that training of the individual which enables him to produce the most in the least time, at the smallest cost and in the most artistic manner. That Germany believes in technical education is attested by the large number of technical schools of all grades within her borders and the enormous sums of money which she has spent upon them. The highest type of these schools is designated as a Technische Hochschule, but is not what we call a a technical high school - rather a technical college, an Institute of Technology or a school of engineering, that is, a technical school of college rank. These schools are located at the capitals of the various German states and are supported by the states themselves, not by the imperial government. Not a little jealousy exists among them. While at the Hanover Technische Hochschule I was unwise enough to refer to the Berlin Technische Hochschule as the best in Germany. I was immediately, though politely, informed that the Berlin school was larger, not better, than the Hanover school. Munich also claims the very best Technische Hochschule, and points with pride to the large number of foreign students attracted to her school. Be that as it may, there is not a poor, weak, nor ill-equipped Technische Hochschule in Germany. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
