What sort OF bread-and- butter eff
cheney training does the educational
system % this country offer the young
workman who wants 20 better him
self BY eoing 70 an industrial school
out of shop hoursg This question II
touched on by Charles r. Richards,
director Of Cooper Onion for the adj
vancement Of science and art, New
York city. In a publication Just issned
fog free distribution by the United
States bureau OF education. Mr.
Richards finds that Just now evening
schools have the most pupils Of this
sort. but points out the Advantages
which would accrue II America
should follow the example OF DER
many In allowing workmen 20 get off
IN the daytime without having their
wages locked. In order 20 raise their
efficiency by attendance at aa indus
trial school.
Or. Richards says In part:
Evening schools represent the
first form of Industrial education IN
this country and they reach today
By far the largest number Of indi-
vlduals under instruction IN this
field. As a means Of supplementary
Instruction IN mathematics, science
drawing and technical subjects they
present q simple-and effective method
OF industrial education, az least for
young men above. say. ~ years ~

will naturally require considerable
time for this country 10 reach the
same point and TO bring about a gem

30 allow learners ~ their establish
monts 30 attend Industrial improve
ment schools during working hours.
"The positive benefits that result
when such plan ~ followed. and the
olDse correlation that II made between
the work OF the shop ana that Of the
class room, have. however, been 50
strskingly shown that this system OF
Industrial education deserves 70 be in
orcasinRly studied by both employers
and soh0olmcn. When the time Tor
attendance upon the school work Is
granted 10 apprentices or other learn
efs By employers ana the wages con-
tlnued during this period. the eco-
nomfc problem for the boy is solved.

called upon 20 supply the costly
equipment for practical work, but
only that instruction specifically fit

learners. the administration expense
10 reduced 10 a minimum.
IN lts beginning such plan Is cvi-
IDENTITY most readily applied In cities
and other localities where the con-
centrati0a Of hlsh-grade Industries
gives larsa number Of apprentices
or learners Ia q comparatively few
lines"
other types OF schools which occu-
~ important places in Industrial
trimming In this country are the inter-
mediate industrial or preparatory
trade schools, the trade schoOi, the
evening school, the part-siiae school
end the corporation or apprentice
school. These are also discussed by
Mr. Richards IN the bureau Of educ9-
tlon's report. Dr. Richards finds
that she economic factors Involved IL
the conduct OF these schools are OF
fwo Kinds; first. the cost 10 The COM
munity OF running the schools; and
4ceond. the cost 10 the pupils OF at
Mndlng tho schools. "Of these,
ys Mr. Richards, "the second u
obably the more important IN de-
mining practical possibilities OF q
