iit been fully supplled7 Hnvt we not

to the few children who are destined
to enter tic higher professions? 1t Is
difficult to realize how few OF our pii-
pills Will ever get into these higher
professions. or all the persons gain
fully employed In the Southern States
Geo table ~ not 3.5 per cent. are In
the professions, while more than 6s per
cent. are In distinctly manual occupa-
tions. and the number Of tho latter is
rapidly increasing each year. During
the twenty years from 1880 to 1900 the
number Of persons In the Southern
States engaged in manufacturing pur-
suits was increased about two and n
half times (see table -. The situa-
ton is intensified by tho fact that as
the number OF persons employed In me-
chanical occupationsilas increased, the
opportunities for the rising generation
to acquire the training needed for such
occupations have decreased. owing to
the concentration OF industry in large
factories. This Is especially true OF
large cities but the reaction lis felt In
smaller communities and rural districts.
To meet the second prerequisite there
must be a change In the ideals which
we hold up before our boys and girls,

accomplished A few suggestions along
this line will serve to make clear what
is meant.
In the reading and language study
in the schools we should use selections
which pertain to men of Industry. great
inventors. great scientists great dis
coverers. great engineers, descriptions
Of machines, processes Of manufacture,
and so on, as we'll as great orators,
statesmen and military heroes, whose
careers we have been holding up as
ideals to the exclusion of others.
What In history. or the evolution OF
civilization IS more important than the
discovery of steam and its applications
through various machines invented
from time to time: what Is more i'm
portant than the invention of the cot
ton gin? Yet these things are often
mentioned in only a line or two in
our textbooks, while numerous pages
are filled with the details of battles.
Far be 1t from me to detract one iota
from the glorious achievements of
our great military heroes. but let us
remember that peace hath her vic
tories no less renowned than war;.
victories over tho blind forces OF ma
ture, victories Of invention and of con-
struction, victories which have brought
us UP out of the darkness of night and
are making of us a powerful factor in
the worlds affairs. Let us remember

fixed by nature. No other portion OF
0ie United States has the natural
wealth possessed BY the Southern
States; and along viii, these great re-
sources nature has provided ample
water-power and abundant fuel for
their development The Southern poo

they cannot live solely on the provis-
IONS OF nature; but that they must
use modern methods to transform their
raw materials into finished products
ana thus obtain from them their great
est value. The result OF this has been
that during the past few decades the
Industrial development Of the South
has been the wonder OF the world.
In order that Industrial enterprises
may succeed they must be supplied
I'd with technically trained men far
leaders, superintcndents. foremcn. etc,
and t2) with large number OF men
possessing certain degree OF indus
trial Intelligence for the rank and file
of workmen In order that the ranks
may be filled for both grades 1t Is
necessary that there be awakened In
the rising generation sympathy for
manual work, and an appreciation OF
Its dignity and Its Importance In the
worlds economy. Also, the general
public must be educated to a proper
attitude toward Industry.
Naturally, the public school is the
institution to which We should look
for this cducation: but the school has
obviously not realized Its responsible
ity in this direction. Among the rea-
sons for this. it seems to me. are the
following: (D Tho characteristic con-
servntism of the people OF the South;
and tho prevalence OF tho idea that
what was good enough for previous
generations is good enough for the
children OF to-day: (2) The fact that
many OF our school systems have been
administered by men who may have
done splendid service in their day, but
who are now hopelessly behind the
times and have not the energy in their
declining years to get out OF the rut,
especially so long as an Indifferent or
fndulgcnt public looks upon school Of
fees as positions which any one with a
little tact can fill: (3) The fact that
in the minds OF tho people at large
the connection has not been made be-
tween education and industry, looking
upon industry as not needing educa-
tion and upon education as too good
for industry; and IA A lack OF knowl-
edge as to what to do and n lack,
thing.
That the work OF the school may
meet the demands OF lifo two pro-
requisites are necessary: % There
must be universal education; and (2)
The method and subject matter OF edu-
cation must be revised

The industries need the skilful hand
and trained intelligence. the State
needs to develop her resources both
inanimate and human, the nation needs
a body of individuals truly qualified
for citizenship. and every individual
has a right to enjoy the privileges
and opportunities OF life in a democ-
racy.
Now. whatever we are going to do
we must do quickly. We must get al
the child. especially the boy, before
he leaves the school. and statistics
show that they drop out of school
rapidly after the fifth grade. These
children go from the school with lit
tie education and no practical train
ing. and are forced to enter unskilled
and frequently very undesirable in
dustries. In my, own school system
(Richmond. Va..) a recent investiga-
ton disclosed the fact that out of a
total school enrolment of 14,161 there
had dropped out during the last seS-
sion 944 children to go to work. The
figures for the preceding session were
practically the same. This means that
nearly per cent OF our total enroll
ment left expressly for the purpose
of entering some form of occupation
as those who left for other reasons
were carefully eliminated from the
calculation. This goes to prove that
we should begin our work in the pri-
mary grades.
The Industrial element enters into all
grades OF the educational system. how
can response be made to its demands?
In general it may be said (1) that we
should modify, improve and extend the
present institutions and means at our
disposal to more nearly correspond to
these demands; and (2) that we should
establish new, institutions to supple

In modifying our school work to more

primary grades. but If nothing else is

large number of Richmond teachers

Miss Hill conducts graduate classes
In education at Columbia University,
and has an international reputation
as an educator. She is an unassum-
Ing Southern lady, and has devoted her
life to the advancement of education in
the South. 1t is partly because OF this
desire, and through the efforts of Miss
Murphey, of the college model school,

has realized that men are needed in
the SCHOOLS, that the educational work
cannot be intrusted solely to women,
and that the future of the strong edu-
cational movement that is now In
progress in Virginia is dependent to a
certain extent upon the male teachers
who will enter upon the work in the
next few years. Therefore her lecture
