Transl. of "real'noe uchilishche" (cont.)

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues:

Thinking of Chicago's "Lane Tech" and "Crane Tech," or, alternatively, 
Peoria's "Manual," I might suggest simply "......Technical High School" 
(or, alternatively, "Manual High School").

Good hunting,
Steven P Hill,
University of Illinois.

Subject: translation question

Dear all, 
In the history of pre-Soviet Russian post-secondary education what would be the 
English term for "real'noe uchilishche"? Austro-German "Realschule" doesn't work, 
because it specifies the level, and not the curriculum, which is what mostly 
accounts for the distinction between "real'noe uchilishche" (technology, 
mechanics, engineering) and "gimnaziia" (classics, arts, humanities). 

I am hoping for a well-established term that either has been used in American 
scholarship, or will be easily recognized without additional explanation. 

Many thanks in advance to those who can help. 
Inna Caron
