Industrial training schools should
be connected with our public school
system. Under the present plan we
are providing every conceivable kind
of instruction for the head workers,
but the hand workers leave instruc-
ton altogether when they leave the
elementary schools, and that Is COM
monty before they are prepared for
work or are mature enough to plan
for themselves. What little has been
done for these has been isolated and
unsystematic, and done by private
enterprise. Thus our public school
system is one-sided-unjust to the
greater number and inefficient In
meeting an overwhelming phase of
the nations educational need. To
be consistent we should do less for
the head worker and more for the
hand worker, but just how to do 1t
is quite an educational problem. This
subject is now before the school Of
