WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY II.
Industrial Education.

Hon. John F. Massey, State supcrn-
tcndent of public instruction. WAS in
the city on Tuesday, having just re-
turned from a trip to Massachusetts,.
He said that he had gone there to in
ouire into the minutie Of the methods
ofindustrial education in the Boston
and other city schools. He was, ne said,
much pleased and got some valuable
hints as to how the work is carried on
along with the other lines of public
school instruction, but saw nothing
that equaled the system in use at the
Miller Manual school, in AlheMarle
county, in efficiency.
Talking further of his plans, he
stated that it was his desire to begin
gradually the introduction OF industrial
training in the city schools Of Virginia
and gradually extend it in scope ana
accommodations The state was not
able to adopt this valuable feature OF
school work generally or e%ten-
sivelv as yet. but it would stead
ilv expand. Mr.. Massey said his
idea was to start an industrial school in
some city, say Richmond, to be run in
the afternoon Al first it would accom-
MEDIATE only 20 or 80 pupils at one time.
but that number of children from each
school might spend an hour or two each
week in this workshop school. In this
way number could be accommodated
during each week.
When asked TO what extent and III
what lines the instruction would be,
Mr.. Massey stated that his aim was 10
tamiliarized boys with TIE use of all or
binary tools, and familiar forms ofman-
mai labor. Besides being ofincalculabic
benefit to youths, it would be in the
nature of mental relaxation and recrca-
ton and he thought the boys would
like it.
Being asked if it was desirable to
adapt the instruction specially to each
pupil, he stated that OF course the bent
of the pupils mind in the mechanical
line would be noted by both teacher
and pupil.-Sapnton Ne'cs.
