CARP EDUCATION
Pays Own WAY
laslcal OF Costing Money
Says National Educa-
ton Commissioners.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 90
lndustr al work in the schools of
Cary, Ind, made mercy instead OF
coating money during the last year..
says DR.. P. p. Claxtti1, united STATES
commissioner OF education. when
the school authorities in Gary came
10 sum up the results OF the WORK
in the trade courses. they found
that The three departments of pr MT
ing. cabinet work s,ld painting had
to their credit a profit of sS75.4s.
This is real value, too; the pubns
made articles that were needed IN
the school; Il they had not made
them n the school shops the author.
i es would have had to purchase
them in the open market at total
p:ice Of seven or eight hundred dol
lars"
The commissioner then gives tho
figures for each of the trade classes
in the Gary schools as reported by
q. L. Wulang. in charge of the In
dustr!al instruction. IN the printing
department the value OF the work
produced was sl,072.92. The sal
airy sad expense was $1,4S3.49 ana
supplies cost 1914, leaving a net
ba'ance in favor of the shop of
$l75.43. There we're thirty-five in
the printing class, SO instead Of fig
uring the per capita cost of the in
dustrial training Of these pupils, it
was possible to figure definite
contribution by each pupil to the
wealth of the community.
In the cabinet department" says
Dr.. claxton, the product was val
ned at sS.6OS.S5, aud the expense
was $S,155.37, leaving a balance OF
$453.4S in favor of the carpenters.
Similarly, the painting department
of the school showed business OF
$1,591.25 and an expense OF ST.
or a Gear profit Of s24G.52.
"Gary's conspicuous success with
Industrial training is an interesting
OF the spread of the mod
ern movement for vocational educa-
ton, which insists that in addition
to teaching the recoga zed branches
the school must give instruction in
those subjects that are of most i'm
value to the community
which supports it. In Gary the DOM
inant interest IS trade education; h
rural districts it is largely agricuI-
ture; in the cities it may be stenog-
raphy, typcwriting and other COM
branches. IN any case, it is
coming to be felt more and more
that an educational system is in
complete that fails to provide yo-
training for its citizens"
