"Our committee is to have further

talk definitely until after that, as in a
general way we plan to make the in
dustrial educational systems of the
various localities distinct from Gull
tural education.
1--WE do not plan anything in con-
nection with the primary school sys-
tenn at all We aim to take hold of
the children when they finish the pri--
mary schools at about the age of
and give them a four years course in
our schools.
''These schools would have to be
part of the educational system in a
way, because they would be public
schools supported by the public. The
subjects to be taught will depend upon
the Industrial circumstances of the To-
caIity For instance, where there is a
shoe manufacturing vicinity there
should be a shoe trade school. Where
there are textile works there should
be textile schools"
