''Misfit Schooling"

1.-THE present tendency OF nearly all
school life is to fit the boy for a profess
sional or business career, and not for
mechanical or metallurgical pursuits.
Yet the law, medicine, and business
world are over crowded, t~eeining with
starving young and old men, while min
ing, manufacturing and chemical fields
are securing the nation for capable boys
and men, and can not find them. Chicago
is maintaining two suberb manual train
ing schools to awaken American boys TO
these needs; Dayton, Ohio, is about to
raise $500, 900 to establish such a school;
Milwaukee has just started one; the Bald
win Locomotive Works has established
one; and so has the General Electric
company and the Southern Pacific Rail
way Company.
The tendency of the modern school is
to make the boy think only of literature
and the fine arts. This tendency is ac-
centuated, / AM afraid, in the home
without deep thought as to the future
time when he shall be thrown on his
W resources. He begins to think the
real badge of work is a white shirt, creas-
ed trousers, a well fitting coat and a nat
ty hat. He despises the overalls, the
greasy jumper, the marked hands which
after all is said, have always been and al
way will be the genuine badges of crea-
tive toll. = The world is now
making the greatest demands for labor
recruits. If the boy has mechanical
ability at all, any desire to use his
muscles, give him the overall and jun
per, and let him 30 into that which pays
handsomely-in new strength, in life in
the open air, in sharpening of the wits,
in constructiveness, in invention. Jonas
