acter of the subjects taught, determines the classification of
schools into groups. Three classes of trade instruction have just been
mentioned, and might well be styled lower, middle and upper schools for
trade teaching. Another point of interest lies in the fact, that while
we have been speaking of theoretical and practical subjects as forming
the curricula of the schools for the building trades, the distinction
should rather be drawn on the line of traditional book subjects and
applied or laboratory practice. Practical work, per se, is not carried
on in the school. Thus we have a close connection between theory and
practice; more closely perhaps than is found to exist in other trades.

The following table shows the distribution of building trade schools
throughout the Empire, the cities in which such schools are located
being given.
