 Atlanta,

Atlanta, 7, Atlanta,. Ga, Nov. se--Industrial in- terests of the South were given prom thence at tonight's session of the sixth National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education.
 e, Gunby Jordan, of Columbus, Ga., aaidi | 'The past twelve months have brought home to every industry in our land the need for reliable export trade the need for American goods which shall offer the stability of those of Germany, the taste and variety of those of France. the cheapness of our English competitors.
 Now is the psychological moment to impress upon our people the great ben- eiats which technical and industrial training alone can give us in this worlds contest Of our total bread winners, only four per cent are in the professions and in the house service the other ninety-six per cent would he immediately benehted by such an ed- ucation."
 MT. Jordan ,declaA cd that American backwardness in this regard is phenorn- epal, that the American people have not appreciated the value of g system of thorough lndustrial and technical edu- cation.
 Leon c. Sutton, editor of The Labor World ,of New fOrk, said that to wage eaFners an effective system of indus, trial education means not merely teaching more dexterity in hands. but In addition the history of commerce, of ancient guilds, of the origin and growth of ades-unionism, and some- thing of what real true uBionism means in the hetterment of the men and Wamr en of our country.
 A paper by Congressman Charles R. Davis. of Minnesota, told of the efforts In the National Congress to further in- dustrial education In the United States. Mir. Davis has strong hopes that the United States government will event. ually make liberal appropriations for industrial and technical training of the young men and women of this coun- try.
 A feature of the day was three round tables for open discussion on the sub ject of Advantages of Evening Schools"
 Louis Roudillioh. director of the ed- heatlonal work of the Machanics Insri- tuts, of New York, declared that train ing at night schools was the most practical form of trade training.
