RECRUITS NEEDED.

8 In Rhode Island, as i'm Massachu-
setts, the skilled industries have no ade-
quate means for recruiting their service.
A large proportion OF the new men have
neither skill nor knowledge. Those who
have both got them haphazard or were
trained In Europe. Apprenticeship is
found in some industries and. In modified
forms, may still serve a useful purpose
under special circumstances. But in most
industries it has either been abandoned or
is found very unsatisfactory.
4. The Industries OF Rhode Island need
recruits who have industrial intelligence
and whose training has given them a
knowledge OF the principles of the trades
and manufactures and some taste as re-
CARDS material, workmanship and design.
Unless provision is made i'm our educa-
tional system for training this kind of
recruits for it's Industries, the state can
not compete successfully with other indus
trial centres where such training is be-
ing provided. II must be content TO be a
centre of low-grade industry. the home OK
an uninteiligent and unprogressive popu-
lation and low order OF civilization.

INDUSTRIAL
EDUCATION
IS DEMANDED

The commission recommended certain
specific changes in tho courses OF study
ana practice In existing schools, new elec-
tive courses I'M high and evening schools.
and, In addition. separate public Industrial
schools for children unable TO continue
their general education beyond the gram-
mar grades. ~
a permanent commission has been cs-
tablished In Massachusetts, to carry out
the program recommended.
LOCAL CONSIDERATIONS.
vi. Our study OF the general question.
OF the results OF the Massachusetts in
quiry and such acquaintance as we have
been able TO gain with the opinions OF To-
cal employers and manufacturers, sug-
gest the following considerations as ap-
plicable 10 our local case:
]. In Rhode Island, as I'm Massachusetts,
the schools are seriously out OF touch
with practical life. especially with the
wage-earning life TO be led by most OF
the children. The great majority of chill
dren leaye school at II or Is. Probably.
as In Massachusetts. their first three or
four years of wage-earning are prac-
ucally waste years, so far as actual pro-
duotive value and increase OF industrial
efficiency are concerned
:. For two reasons, these years are
probably worse than wasted. Morally the
influences OF the unskilcd industries upon
children are bad. Intellectually. in the un-
skilled industries. there is little or no op.
portunity to apply the education received
In school, so that the child loses his grip
even upon that. This means that imme nse
sums OF money spent upon education are
thrown away because no attempt is made
In school TO prepare the child TO enter in
dustries In which he can go on learning,
building upon the foundation already laid.
