century, reform and progress have brought radical
changes in all walks Of life. and in the matter OF
education. which naturally influences every one,
the changes are especially marked. With the in
creased commercial power that machinery has
brought have come new and varied fields for
work for which those employed must be trained.

has any financial value. and. Of course some def
mite preparation is necessary for such result
