A$ TO INDUSTRIAL i TRAINING > THE REPORT OF OMISSION ■ Inlerestiag Excerpts frte Yol■ninis Discussion ai Need for Industrial schools I The commission on Industrial EducaI tion appointed by Governor Fort last year, has prepared an, exhaustive reI port and drafted a bill providing for , the establishment of industrial schools throughout the State. Among the many {interesting statements made in the report are the following : "Evening .industrial improvement schools, under boards choser largely because of the connection with the industries, are the quite unanimous choice of the non-agricultural indusI tries of this state. Short courses for farmers, given at numerous convenient , centers in the State, represent the , form of practical vocational instruction ; chiefly desired by the agricultural Industry. The industrial improvement ' schools would afford the workers from , each industry the theoretical ins true- : tion necessary to that particular in- . dustry. " , "Bills providing similarly for tnc | promotion of industrial education are ■ before the legislatures of the i majority of the states. The present | Commission on Indus- j trial Education already has over 2600 pupils enrolled in the new institutions, and. is about to open several additional schools. A state law of New York, v passed during the spring of 1908, pro- t vides for separate industrial schools, t under the regular boards of education i and the supervision of its uniquely cen- s tralized State Department of Ed oca- ' tion. Wisconsin and Connecticut have t , made restricted provision for establish-

:ng{trade schools. Georgia has eleven I "district agricultural schools" under , boards appointed by the Governor. ; Alabama has nine similar institutions. Oklahoma, in 1908, qstabliabed a-State Commission for Agriculture and In- | dustrial Education. The breaking up of the apprenticeship system has been universal in Europe aa well as in America. However, in Europe general provision has been made for industrial training in schools, to take the place of the apprenticeship tuition. Germany has made greater advance than any other country in providing industrial instruction for the average worker. Starting over a century ago with Sunday schools in whioh industrial drawing was taught, Germany progressed to evening industrial improvement schools which. since >871, might made compulsory by munioipal.vote, and is now rapidly approaching the oiiu ID UUD layiuij r approaciiuig me

. model set by the Kingdom of Wuert- ' temberg. In 1906 that State required I compulsory partial time day schools to 1 ' be established by any community hav- 1 i ing at least forty youths between the 1 : ages of fourteen and eighteen years 1 engaged in commerce or industry, and 1 all such individuals are obliged to at- ' tend the industrial improvement J I schools, at least seven hours per week, 1 ' for three successive years. The daily 1 employment furnishes the practical ex- ' perience, to supplement the theoretical 1 training. Ordinarily the better indus- 1 trial improvement schools have shop ' attachments. ^ ■ The records of the commissjon show that approximately five-sixths of those ' who enter the lower grades of the ele- ! mentary school drop out before the completion of the eighth grade. They ' ' drop out chiefly because of the neces- , sity of earring a livelihood. , Aa the result of its inquiry and de- i 1 liberations, the commission unanimous- | ly urges the introduction of such suitable forms of industrial training as . are demanded by the several munici- < palities. The industrial school, more 1 than any other type of educational in- j ! stitution must vary in scope and cur- 1 ; riculutn according to the industries of i the locality. Manual training in the i public schools should be encouraged, especially up to the completion of the < 1 compulsory" attendance period. In- < | dustrial education, i. e., vocational instruction, should f>e provided for those 1 who have completed the compulsory 1 attendance period, and who desire to j take up an industrial vocation at a t later time." "In former years skilled workmen . sufficient for our purposes came from foreign counties. Today this condi- \ tion no longer obtains. The Oontinen- j tal workman ii able, at present, to find i employment at home at a wage that is '

entirely satisfactory for hifn. in view of his "tew living expenses and cong nj«l surroundings." I V * practical type {of industrial I training is demanded. Instructors should usually be chosen from among U those who are experienced in the every 1 day activities of the line for which training is required. This plan should " work well in the ease of evening industrial improvement schools. * The courses of study suited to the several industries must be developed, and vocational text books of elementary grade should be written." "It is the belief of the commissi on 1 that for the State to make f suitable 1 - provision for industrial education is to 1 r safe guard and promote the best in- ' s teresta of its entire citizenship ; it is to ' : furnish equality of opportunity to all ; 1 to put witbin the reach of everyone 1 the means of making a worthy living ' t —the foundation step towards - living a ! ' worthy life ; It is to make home life 1 more pleasant, to broaden the horizon 1 1 of youth, and to brings a fuller and ' - richer meaning to the daily work of ( the artiaan ; it is to enhance the dignity ' i of labor, to forestall poverty, and to 1 1 substitute healthy creative impulses J for criminal tendencies ;Tt is to add to the permanence and stability of the c ; whole industrial fabric, in this State of important and diversified industries. attainment of these aims, in 0 whole or in part, is worthy of personal * effort and sacrifice, and mutual lor- ^ bearance. It is the hope 'of the com- 0 mission that organized, constructive 1 work may be undertaken, eventually p bring facilities for industrial train- a within the reach of all." THE MAN~ABOUT TOWN SUGGESTS"?* The Board of Trade of Cape May n would make a hit if they would get in ( touch with the Atlantic City Transportation Company, and endeavor to have build a wharf at Cape May Point, tl and stop the steamers to be put In ser- fi vi re between Philadelphia and Atlan- fi tic Oity. Judging from the crowds of w ♦ KD In LM J... : 1 n

We have 1 very deep water at Cape May Point by - going out about 100 feet and it is pro- . tec ted by the Delaware and Jersey t shores, the water is not rough like it , would be at Atlantic Oity and landings > would be effected more readily.'

<• «a While preparing for the year's arrangement of municipa 1 affairs. Council should look into the matter of installing festoons of 4-candle power on the boardwalk, say from Windsor avenue to Gurney street or avenue. It would be a great attraction and would enhance the evening attractions at the boardwalk and the lights could be extinguished at 11 o'clock it necessary. Business men along the beach would no doabt supplement it by placing numbers of these about their places of business.
