PUBLIC WORKS HIGH SCHOOLS

William Thum has novel idea for
drawing youth to the high schools. He
holds that our high schools should be
reconstructed so as to attract and ao-
commodate all the population of prop.
er age, instead of small fragment as
at present. To accomplish this they
must be made semi-industrial con.
Germs, where boys and girls may earn
their living as they go on with their
studies. This would lengthen the
course several years, but would grad
uate the boy or girl in better shape to
earn a competence thereafter. If a
young man is getting a practical start
in life, it does not matter much wheth-
er he graduates at IS or %. The
city's work, particularly if the city
embark in utilities, as is inevitable,
will serve to keep most of these young
people busy-that and such factories
and other enterprises as may be es-
tablished for the purpose. The writer
works out the plan of public works
high school in detail, and it is not only
sounds feasible, it is in many ways
actually inspiring
