80 CONTINUATION
SCHOOLS IN STATE
Maximum Number to Receive
State Aid Established.
FOR INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
Thirty Cities Have Raised $500, 600
by Local Taxation Others Ready
to Meet Requirements II Legislature
Provides for More Schools.

Madison.-Thirty schools in Wis
consin have arranged for continue
ton schools in which Industrial edu-
cation viii be the leading feature.
This is the maximum number for
which state aid was provided by the
legislature of 1911; other cities stand
ready to establish such schools as
soon as future legislative enaetments
shall entitle them to state aid. There
has been raised by local taxation in
the thirty cities 100000, while the
total state aid is limited to $50, 900,
and this speaks loudly of the faith
of people in the value of providing
for the educational needs of those
whom the regular schools do not
reach.
As tersely stated by Warren E.
Hicks, assistant superintendent Of
Industrial education, Continuation
activity is to get instruction in indus
try, not to get persons out of indus
try" In addition to the industrial
work, all continuation schools must
give instruction in English. citizen
ship. business practice, physiology
and hygiene and safety devices. Reg
ulations have been made to prevent
any interference on the part of in
dustrial schools with the regular
schools and vice versa. A child must
have completed at least the fifth
grade before he is permitted to at
tend continuation school. Glasses
made up of part continuation schools
pupils and part regular school pupils
are forbidden.
