tenth to one-twentieth less than the
day trade schools, which would require
expensive equipments in the way of
machinery, etc. Our training schools
would have little machinery, except n
small workshop for demonstrations, and
our graduates would be able to earn
twice as much as the skilled worker
without our training, and four times
as much as the worker in the unskilled
departments"
Mr.. Snowden, who is heart and soul
in this work, gave me some of the new
literature of the commission Following
are some of the interesting paragraphs:
No one is better qualified to set
forth the requirements in the matter
of industrial training thar the en-
ployer of skilled labor. He is in daily
touch with the practical problems. And
the principal industrial schools of the
State at present are the workshops, the
factories, the farms. The instructors
in these schools are the superintend-
ents of the factories and the foremen;
the pupils are the apprentices-if, in
deed, apprentices are to be found. In
a great many shops no form OF ap-
premiership exists.

sion turned, at the first, for a statement
of the needs. If the essential points
agreed upon in the communications
from manufacturers and builders OF the
State were condensed into a single COM
posite interview the statement would
include the following facts, in addition
to what has been given in the body CT
the report:
"In considering'th relative labor sup
ply and demand we should take into
account q term of ~years-times OF finan-
cial prosperity, as we'll as times of de-
preston. Looking back, then, over the
past five years, we would say tina IN

skilled workrnen are employed there has
been a scarcity of those well-trained
There is always a demand for workers
who arc capable, and even in times OF
industrial depression we find it posi-
BILE, in most cases, to retain those who
are efficient. The unskilled, on the
other hand, are the first to leave the
shop, and the last to be employed when
we are putting on an additional force.
THE dearth of skilled workmen is
due to a number Of causes. We have
great difficulty in maintaining an ap-
premiership system, n many of us
have concluded that under the present
conditions it is not desirable to attempt

schools of the future are going to
change conditions by making the best
OF them.
A tremendous percentage of youths
have to leave school at an early age,
because their parents can afford no
other course. 1t is for them that plans
for industrial improvement schools are
being promulgated.
DIR. Albert r. Snowden, secretary of
the State Commission on Industrial
Education, told me some interesting
things when l visited his office the
other day.
1.-THE schools we have in mind" he
declared, ARE not going to be opposed
by the unions. Why, they cannot.
It's to their advantage TO have them,
for we're going to teach their em-
ployees the theoretical side of what
they're learning in the shops. Our
schools will not be trade schools, as
some people think.
'Five-sixths of the boys who attend
grammar school leave before they reach
the eighth grade, and, of course, they're
not equipped for the battle of life.
Most of them enter factories, to learn
| what they can. Few firms take regular

train them to understand their work
while they are earning their own living.
Why, the name explains Itself, indus
trial training If the manufacturers
would agree to SEND their boys to US
one or two afternoons a week, it would
be better than having evening schools,
but that is a matter that rests entirely
with the manufacturers, and I firmly
believe that they'll agree to it some
day. At any rate, our plan is of advan-
tage to both. We take their boys and
show them the theoretical side of their
trades"
Mr.. Snowden paused, drew a long
breath and went on:
"Of course, the unions would oppose
trade schools. They call them seal
hatcheries.' Naturally, they would OBJ
ject to what they call green hands com
ing in and earning the same wage that
is accorded to them. But they realize
that our schools are not exactly fol
green hands. They're for the workers
themselves; for boys who are already
earning their own living.
TAKE our Newark Technical School
for instance; 50 per cent. of the gradu
ates earn a thousand dollars a yea
more than they would have earned hat
they learned only the practical and no
the theoretical side of their vocations
We have proved hat the industrial
training schools will cost from one

1t. When we take on apprentices, and
spend time and money in their train
ing, they are likely to leave us after a
few months because they have found
situations where they arc paid journey
mems wages.
I'VE canno afford to pay IL appren-
tees high wages, for their instruction
is expensive for us. During the FIRST
year. the apprentice is apt to spoil more
work than his services mount to. In
order to give him an all-round training, |
we arc Obliged to change him frequent
ly from one kind of work to another,
whereas it would certainly be much
more profitable for us to employ him
at piece-work, or i'll the performance
Of a single well-learned operation.
"Son1e of us have tried the 'back-pay'
form of indenture for the purpose of
encouraging II apprentices to remain
for their period of service. But even
this plan has not always been success
full in inducing boys to finish out their
time.
I'm some of the factories the aver
age worker no longer deems it essen
tial to be qualified in more than one
branch of the industry. When we re-
quire capable foremen or superintend-
ents, however, we find difficulty in get
ting men with an experience broad
enough to equip them for the position.
1t would raise the standard of indus
trial intelligence if the specialists in
the shops might have a certain amount
of general training.
"a very practical type of industrial
training is demanded. Instructors
should usually be chosen from among
those who are experienced in the
everyday activities of the line for
which training is required. This plan
should work we'll in the case of eve
ming industrial Improvement schools.

vocational textbooks of elementary
grade should be written.

THE fact was brought out that the
