MAY TEACH TRADES
IN COL0RED SCHOOLS
Plan to Provide Industrial
Training for Boys and Girls.
in Cardozo Building.

A plan for the establishment Of an in
dustrial training school for colored boys
and girls fourteen years Of age and over,
in the Cardozo building, has been sub
mitted to the board OF education by r. G.
Bruce, assistant superintendent OF ths
colored public schools Of the District. The
plan was outlined by teacher, A. New.
man, with Mr.. Bruce.
The course, which will include machin-
list work. blacksmithing. wagon and auto
mobile construction, electrical work,
plumbing. heating and timing, carpentry.
house, sign, wagon and fresco painting,
paperhanging. printing, brick and stone
masonry, plastering and concrete con-
struction, practical cookery, household
management, sewing, dressmaking and
tailoring, besides English mathematics,
physics. mechanical drawing. chemistry
and geography. is designed to teach va
rious trades by means OF which the
pupils will be trained directly for econ
omic independence.
Supt. Stuart's View.
A. T. Stuart, superintendent of public
schools Of the District, said today that
although he personally was i'm favor of
the plan and believed it would be very
beneficial, he did not believe it would be
possible to put it into operation this year.
Emphasis is placed on the practical
handwork construction, and the other
subjects which are to be taught are
to correlate as closely as possible in ev-
cry particular with the practical work,
and will include little, il anything, that
has not a direct bearing on the trade
work. Every phase will be made to
teach practicability.
Regarded as Educational Need.
Mr.. Bruce believes that il grouu
of monotechnic schools could be estab-
lished for the colored population there
would result untold good. Besides good
grammar schools and good high schools,
training for economic independence is a
present-day educational need, Mr.. Bruce
claims. Several cities, including New
York, Columbus, Ca, Rochester, N Y,
and New Bedford. Mass, have such
schools, and it is said that they are a
great success.
The course would be two years, and the
school day would approximate seven
hours, beginning at $50 o'clock and
closing at o'clock, with a lunch period
of half an hour.
Pupils entering would have to be at
least fourteen years old. and would have
to have completed the fifth grade The
course would not be similar to that of
the manual training schools, as the teach
ing would prepare for immediate wopk
after graduation, instead of a college
preparation.
