TECHNICAL SCHOOLS.
II. I. Crane, Sr., Advocate OF Manual
Training, Says They're Failures.


Chicago. Dec. lS-Richard T. Crane.
Srr millionaire Manufacturer. who
has founded several courses in manual
training IN the grade schools OF Chi

on the futility Of all special educa-
ton for men about TO enter the in
dustrial field.
Mr.. Crane wrote a paper on the sub
iect OF technical education, which was
read at the meeting Of the Western
Railway club last night.
Graduates OF technical schools had
wasted their time he said. The great
positions In the world Of mechanics are
rlled from the clerk and mechanic
ranks. All that Is needed Is tho
proper foundation IN the grade school
and then the shop course.
After outlining his IDEAS along these
lines Mr. Crane asked:
Why do men Hike Carnegie and Ar
mour put their money into the technical
schools when their money was made by
men who had no such cducation?"
Continuing. he said "I oppose the
technical education, because have
seen no practical results from Il. These
schools are built and managed by i'm
practicable people. To is time wasted
