THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM EDUCATORS 6YVE OPINIONS Necessity fir Industrial Training is Stated by Men of Broad Experience. Dr. Draper's address on trade schools the Brooklyn Institute was not only sound and strong in itself, but it came at the right.moment to make an Dr. Draper v ants to teach trades to boys and girls in order that they may their living by means of their publio instruction. He wants each schools taught by practical workmen, with the atmosphere of shops ^and with the book training which accompanies the trade teaching made subordinate to i trade efficiency. As an argument for such . trade schools, he said what the has emphasized for years, that present schools turn their pupils towasd professional and "white hanaed" employments until those employments are seriously overcrowded, while the demand for trained workmen greater than the supply. He argued that trade schools, to follow the present grammar schools, would^cure the present habit of leaving school.at about fourteen, in many cases before even the grammar grades have been He insisted that parents per- 1 mit. their children to leave school then, ] not merely because the children need work, but because the parents can not see that two or Ahree years more at school are ^oing to enable the child I earn large wages. With the trade j schools just ahead mat argument would I answered and the children whose j earnings were not actuallv needed! would be kept in school two or three | longer. For those who must go ' work he would have night trade schools. The demand for trade training has , been growing for some years although [ Draper puts it more convincingly i than most advocates. But various ob- | have been made to the practicability of mat sort of teaching. answer to those doubters was given the very night before Dr. 's address. An exhibition was at the Board of Education rooms of the work done in the manual training classes of me grammar schools. pupils who did that work averaged fourteen years of age. Yet the work shown included tfcK furniture of an ordinary flat, with chairs and tables well enough made for substantial services and with decorative work done in the girls manual classes. It showed a beginning for a practical trade training is already made in connection with the regular school work. The and girls who have made such a start would be eager for a trade school at which they could continue long enough to turn them into skilled workmen. The manual training teaching is not ! and cannot be so thoroughly shop-like | in its methods and atmusphere as Dr. Draper would like me trade schools to , Because of its connection with the I elementary school instruction it must j be conducted by teachers rather man craftsmen. But the actual manual | teaching lays a good practical foundation for thorough trade training. Real I schools would be simply me next | step to such training as is now given. j Our private trade schools and our schools train for the^leadershipof industries. But trained leaders must have trained workmen, if me States is to hold its place in production in compefcitiorr-reith GerWhat is even more to the point that of the present great army of unemployed comparatively few are mechanics. If more of these men had trades^the demands on charity would be materially reduced. In hard me incompetent always suffer. But me fewer incompetent citizens we turn out the less dead weight we shall to carry through periods of depressions—Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Siate Superintendent Baxter, of addressed a union educational meeting at Salem on "The Parting of Ways. " The "Sunbeam" reports address as follows : "Mr. Baxter had just returned from educational convention of national held in Chicago, a meeting where the educational pulse of the country could be accurately felt Baxter stated that the demand on the part of the 32.000.00U bread winners of the United States for better training T

for their various vocations in the public schools is such as to demand an immediate and decided change in the nworic of the public schools, it is claimed that only about 2,000,000 wage earners are, under the nreacnt system of schools, are being real fitted for their life work, and these are the clerical workers and teachers. Un[g less the public schools can meet the demand for industrial education, and can so, adjust their courses of study as to better articulate with ;the outside world, the manufacturing mterestajwill establish these needed schools of inls j dustnal training and they will surely M demand a share of the public money >t j for their maintenance. in j A resident of New York has devoted to $100,000 to the promotion of what is iy called "the new education." The ir "new education" is the plan which is :h designed to promote self -reliance. It l, is founded on the theory that the ardih nary school system ' misses many is things. The main object of the moveto merit is to stimulate executive ability,* >r to teach children to take the initiative le and to do things, rather than to teach it theoretical knowledge. The sum which Is has been given to further this idea of £ education will be expended at the rate i- of $10,000 in gathering reports on that I, phase of school work which fosters n t.he executive and ' initiative in child dren. The compilations are in charge le of the International Committee on the ■e New Educational Movement. ^ John D. Prince, speaker of the n House .of Assembly, delivered an adr dress before members of the Trenton ] Teachers' Club at the high school. ^ His theme was "Modern Education." n Speaker Prince is a lecturer on Semitic >e languages in Columbia University, d j New York, and in that capacity he has e : come in contact with the work of edud | cation in a practical way. Among e j many other things he said : d j "With the decadence of eastern e farm life bas .come a lack of manual 0 ' training. This must be supplemented e by the schools. Dr. Prince introduced | in t^e New Jersey Legislature, in 1906, g | a biff" making the teaching of carpenh i tering and sewing compulsory in public y ' schools. The bill was killed in the K senate, but morq recent expression of opinion shows that modern edcuators are alert upon the subject " g The speaker said that no man or . woman should be "turned loose on the g community" without a trade. g Regarding the much discussed danger of the effeminization of our boys by the preponderance of women ^ teachers in the secondary schools, the ^ speaker was not apprehensive. H? Q said that the average American boy a is not lacking in masculinity and needs all possible refining influence. Thus 0 far, however, the lack of specialized a preparation among women has comg pelled the restriction of* the advanced n positions in teaching to men. g The colleges are rapidly specializing | a their courses more and more, which is * j the only condition possible to meet the < ^ modern kaleidoscopic culture. But ! 3 this tendency, which is (inevitable, but ! intensifies the necessity of a thorough j , t ! general foundation. This responsibilg ; ity lies entirely with our elementary | ! and secondary schools, which should ! B 1 take as their motto sine cura nihil— j , B ; without care, nothing can be done. 1 1 THE ANNUAL HIUH SCHOOL 1 FESTIVITIES. !

\ SENATOR HAND'S I GOOD WORK : COMMENT W NEWSPAPER 1- ■ PromiieBl Philadelphia Betel . Paper gires Opiiiea oi See['j ators Deretioa ti Ditj y Senator Band's picture appeared on y the front cove- page of "The Hotel Reporter," of last week and the following article was printed on page 8 d of the aame journal : s "It gives The Hotel Reporter a great e deal of pleasure to say a word or two s complimentary to State Senator Robert t E, Hand, of Cape May County. Senator "Bob," as his friends all f call him. has long been in the harness, - and he knows full well the meaning of ,* a big political fight where things <nare row down to give and take over the b gaining of a half and a quarter of a b delegate. The Senator has engaged f in many a red-hot battle along the e shore, and with but one or two except tionp he has pulled through — somes times through by what may be termed, - "the skin of his teeth. " e While a ready and a steady mixer, e Senator Hand has been a consistent people's advocate up at Trenton, and because of his long experience and 8 ready knowledge he has saved the day on many issues of vital importance to i 1 people of Cape May County. • Had it not been for Senator Hand' s : work on the Inland Waterway it would c not have been started in Cape May ■ County at the time it was, almost a 8 year ago. Senator Hand draws the magnificent f ealary of $600 a year, but it bas cost I him twice that amount in a year's j time to be what is considered "a ' | good fellow" among his lrienda. | Being a "ahoreite" himself, he has ' always worked for the benefit of the , • shore resorts in his county, realizing ' ; that as the resorts pay virtually two- : thirds of the county's tax burdens, 8 that they are entitled to generous con- , f sideration at all times. 1 The Senator looks ahead and Bees ' the vast possibilities of the vigorous ! r Cape May County sbore resorts and ' '■ realizes that the future wealth and pre- 1 eminence of this domain depends solely ' upon ttill greater development, prog- ' reas and consideration. 1 Senator Hand, ;in an interview with ' ! the editor of The Hotel Reporter in , ! Green's Hotel, recently, stated that he ' is backing up, to the best of"his 1 1 abilities, not only the new coast bouie- 1 j vard proposition and the Inland Waterway, but likewise the recent plans to 1 ' link the resorts with a network of ' trolley lines. The Senator iB impartial in the bestowal of hie personal efforts ' 1 j on the various resorts as they all rep- 1 1 j resent his home, Cape May County. ' ! j He is a familiar figure on all the j • i beaches _and he is.a most approachable ■ | and patient man with his constituents ' 1 of high and low degree. One of his recent accomplishments I ' | and a most awkward one to handle at j ' shat, was his trip to Washington and the ' | success with which he and his com- ! 4 pan ions — President Jeremiah P. Da- | : laney, of Sea Isle City Council, and ' former State Senator J. A. Coyle, met 1 1 i with in the removal of the North Sea j ( \ j Isle City Government Life Saving ! Station, through the War Department, | I which allowed Sea Isle City to I straighten out its main thoroughfare, j Lanais avenue. | Senator Hand de . oles all hours of r the day ana night to his political duties j and to taking care of the interests of r I Cape May County .and itajieople. It j 1 i costs "him a lot of money to do this j thin^, but "Bob" says be is satisfied, g . : and we believe that the people are g satisfied with his efforts and will continue him in office for many years to 1 , come. c READ THIS S The . convenience of the location at j corner Washington and Perry streets I ( makes the new hardware store of D.
