Notes from the Art Club.
In lecture by Mr.. w. F. Duke.
superintendent OF the Mechanics In
stitute of Richmond. the subject of
Vocational Education" was given an
interesting and valuable calculation
by one than whom none In better tit
ted by experience at the Art Club on
Tuesday. Starting OF with brief
description Of what vocational edu-
cation Is Mr.. Duke veered of into an
account OF one of the well known
trades where this type OF education
has ever received Its scantest atten-
ton. The plumbing business, that
ever present and ever Fostering branch
OF modern life. Is undoubtedly farther
In the rear of educational progress
than any other Of the intimate trades
No attention IL paid to fostering cor
rect ways OF doing work. no young
man or boy can learn aught of its
intricacies save by untiring obser-
walton without help from his boss

suit OF this condition OF repression,

who have the bills to pay. The refine

Applying these facts to the pres

for more extended and intelligent
teaching in the various kinds OF edu-
cation given by Art Schools. Mechan-

plumber may come into state where
his work can be retarded a. real tall
