INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS
Labor'S Attitude on the Matter
of Trade Education.
TO TRAIN HAND AND BRAIN.

Principles of the Various Trades Should
Be Impaired by Competent Teachers.
Courses of Instruction Outlined-A
Public Function.
Organized labor's attitude on the
vital question of Industrial education
was set forth in a report to the con-
vention of the American Federation of
Labor in session at Toronto by the spe-
cial committee appointed by authority
of the Denver convention TO inveSti-
gate the subject. The committee, of
which John Mitchell is chairman, held
three meetings during the year in New
York, Washington and Toronto.
1T is believed" says the report,
that the future welfare of America
largely depends on the Industrial train
ing of our workers and in protecting
them. The inquiries of the committee
seem to indicate that if the American
workman is TO maintain the high stand
ard of efficiency the boys and girls OF
the country must have an opportunity
TO acquire educated hands and brains,
such as may enable them TO earn liv-
ing in Il self selected vocation. and ac-

Industrial supremacy or even main
tain our present standards in the in

in our educational system acquire an
equivalent to our old apprenticeship
system.
"Organized labor's position regarding
the Injustice of narrow and preScrib-
ed training in selected.tradeS by both
private and public instruction and the
flooding of the labor market with half
trained mechanics for the purpose of
exploitation is perfectly tenable, and
the well founded belief in the vicious
ness of such practices and consequent
condemnation is well nigh unassail-
able.
"Organized labor's record for years
in regard to better sanitary conditions
in factories and workshops and its
continued efforts toward safeguarding
women and minors have been the sub
iect of wide discussion and much help

Its advocacy of free schools, free
text books aud the raising of compul-

adhered to. and closely allied to these
subjects is that of industrial education,
and any serious discussion of the
proper kind of vocational training pro-
notes discussion of the former.
There is a strong reaction coming
in general methods of education. and
that growing feeling. which is gaining
rapidly in strength. that the human
element must be recognized and can
not be so disregarded as to make the
future workers mere automatic ma
chimes.
Experience has shown that manual
training school teachers without actual
trade experience do not and cannot
successfully solve this great problem
and that progress will necessarily be
slow. as new teachers must be pro-
vided new set of text books will have
to be written and the subjects taught

I'm the last analysis it is of greater
moment to those engaged in industry
whether this question should be dis
cussed freely and fairly than it is to
mere theorists, who advocate indus
trial education without having any
definite plan or purpose (other than a
selfish onel in their advocacy of the
same. and it is believed that a unifica-
ton rather than multiplication of eff
fort is needed in order to help solve
this immense problem"
