§ MB. OCTAVIUS V. MORGAN (Battersea)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether, in the Report on Polytechnic Institutes, which he proposes to present to Members of Parliament, he will include the recently started Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, United States of America?
THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir W. HART-DYKE,) Kent, DartfordThe Commissioners have not been able to inquire personally into the Pratt Institute, but its papers have been laid before them. It does not seem desirable to lay such papers on the Table, as it is quite a new Institution, admittedly based on the model of the Regent Street Polytechnic, and has not been long enough at work to afford any reliable guide.
