Value Of industrial Work Of Schools
Urged by Educators at Cincin-.
natl Meeting.
supt. Jordan Gets Many Requests
for Samples Of Work of Min.

A rapidly growing demand for greater
facilities for industrial work in the public
schools of the nation was the fact most
strongly emphasized at the recent meeting
of the department of superintendent of
the National Educational association, says
Superintendent Of Schools C. M. Jordan,
who has returned from Cincinnati.
We should not allow any local opposi-
ton to the extension Of this department
Of education to cripple it or seriously
handicap it at this time,'' said Dr. Jordan.
while We should, Of course, keep within
proper bounds and not attempt more than
we can intelligently handle no one can
deny that industrial work is to-day con-
coded one of the very highest places in
both the theory and the practice OF edu-
cation. All through our meeting at Gin
cinnati that fact was continually iaarped
upon. The most able educators present
spoke strongly in favor OF increasing the
scope Of industrial work. The need OF
such extension was forcefully outlined by
Education in Rural Schools" which was
ably supplemented in the general discus
sion by such broad-guaged men as Har-
vey Of Madison, and Stetson of Maine.
DR.. Eliot of Harvard college, made 8
strong and convincing plea in favor OF
utilizing school plants at all times, day and
night, throughout the year. He urged

because they personally want revenge for
