INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
Problem of Hitching Up Learning
with Life Work.

froDiem OF HttchfnG Up Learning
".g with Life Work.
Most OF us who have gone through tn,
academy and university. says Roher
Bruere in Harper's Magazine, especially
those of us who are teachers by profes
sion, come slowly to an appreciation Of
the paramount Importance of this prob
lem. 1t is to the questions inside the
school room, the questions that entict
the ingenuity of the pedagogical expert
that our cultivated minds are principally
alert. We are distressed by the difficulty
of giving children in the transformations
OF the public school the negree of ;rSt
vidual attention essential to thei,
spiritual awakening.
AS pedagogical experts, We rejoice a,
the experiments of Dr. Maria Mon sessori
that promise. like those of Froebel and
Pestalozzi, to save our methods from
fossilization; the invention of Binet, u al
gives us an approximately accurate index
to the psychological anomalies Of the
backward child; the researches of Cramp.
ton, that suggest that the age Of the
child must be determined by It's degree
OF psychological maturity rather than by
days and years. and the theory Of the
late Francis w. Parker, that the ve,y
best ability Is required in the elementary
grades, and that to use the child at its
most tender and impre3sionable age as
laboratory material for young and mex
perlenced or inferior and low-paid teach
ers. is to defeat the ends Of education BY
warping the child mind at the start.
Because sick children are not good
scholars, and because an uncontrolled
epidemic might stop the educational proc
ess altogether, We welcome the school
nurse and the school doctor. We organize
special classes for atypical and defective
children because their presence in the
regular grades clogs the school mechan-
ism. We encourage classes where, by
means Of special feeding and outdoor life,
anemic children are fortified against
tuberculosis. But 1t is not until we nut
our heads out Of the window and hear
the taxpaying manufacturer clamoring
Tor skilled workers and see the bread
line forming In the slums that we begin
to realize that the world has changed
since the school was built, that the home
which has lost its workshop and its
master workman cannot live by literacy
alone, and that the very existence of
the school is involved in the ability of
the masses to keep themselves BEAUTIFULLY
alive.
Why, we begin to ask, does the state
need to hire policemen to keep the chill
dren at school? All Of our internal prob
lens OF pedagogical technique begin to
appear relatively unimportant when
measured against this problem of hitch.
ing education up with life.

On a cloudy May day in 1s43 102 settlers and

UNIVERSITY OF FRANCE.
IL Is Essentially the Same Today as

In the United States there are many
universities which are free from state
control, but il France there is only
one university, and it is an absolute
instrument Of the state. It is true
that there are schools Of higher learn
ing, which were founded in 1870 as
universities, but Eve years afterward
the title was withdrawn, and they are
now called "instituts." They are five
In number and are located in Paris,
Lille, Lyons, Toulouse and Anglers.
But the University Of France is an
entirely different organization. 1t is
the official school It is centralized in
Paris and has under it a vast multi
tude of establishments, faculties, col
lege and primary schools, distributed
over the whole surface Of the country
Directly or indirectly they all depend
on the government
The university was established by
Napoleon. and in spite of certain modi-
f1catiOns which it has undergone dur
ing years it is the same today fn its
essential elements as the day he
founded it. Just as he established the
entire civil administration, with its
projects, subprefects, judges, minis
ters Of finance. so he created in 1906
this vast educational organization,
with its countless professors, who con-
troll the entire intellectual training Of
