and if one will make a sincere effort
one will find places where the prob
lem of vocational education Is being
answered in a far better manner than
by talking about it-Lby a real sue
cessful demonstration.
1.-THE usual cause of the various at
tempts at special lines Of vocational
ferlor. needlessly inferior, line of
shopwork that prevails in the schools
Of those localities under the name of
educational shopwork or manual
training. I recall once having de-
scr1hed such old-line educational
manual training to my class in meth
DDS. My students would not believe
that such work as I described would
be tolerated in any community.
IT then urged them to spend a day
in visiting some old line schools that
/ knew to be doing better than the
average In what is usually called edu-
cational manual training, which they
did, and this convinced my students
that 7 had described the work COR
reetty.
II am therefore not surprised that
those who have seen only such old
line school shopwork do not believe
the statements of those who tell of
the mechanical science work. The
proper course to pursue is to take n
day off and visit a mechanical science
class. 5
1.-THE answer to all these arguments
for all sorts of vocational public
schools is to establish a line of shop
work as a part of the regular course
that Is definite-that Is scientific; that
has both Industrial and educational
values Of a high order. This can be
done, is being done; and ought to be
done in every public school.
: Pupils from such a course not
only go out with power to enter posi-
tions- in industry with reasonable as
surance of success, but also with as
good a liberal education as anyone
OF their ability could obtain in the
time they have been in school.
1T Is criminal to rob any pupil
of his right to a liberal education in
order that he may become able to
enter industry successfully because
it is entirely unnecessary.
THE ideal in vocational or practical
education for which I stand is a line
of work which is of no less value as a
part of a liberal education than n
other branch and is also capable OF
supplying all necessary training for
success in industry insofar as a
public school can guarantee success.
In fact, judging from my personal OBJ
seryations Of a considerable number
of schools, including several Of the
most widely known trade and voca-
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1913-11-06

ticnal schools, the work now being
given in some of our North Dakota
public schools in supplying the pupils
with a better equipment for sue
cessful industrial occupation than
these much-advertised special schools.
The success Of mechanical science
wherever fairly tried is sufficient an
isWer to all current arguments for
vocational manual training, q pre-
vocational school work, trade schools,
and the dozen or more make-shifts
that are being advocated at the pres
;ent time. .t.~:., ~ -
I do not care to stand before YOU
and argue for what is an established
fact. Those who. are. seeking in
formation should visit. some (: school
where this work can, be seen to adj
vantage and make a. thorough study
of its characteristics. The problem
is a pressing and every friend
of education should be contented with
nothing less than positive KNOWLEDGE.
We should cease to base our opinions
upon hearsay testimony and get right
down to ar actual knowledge of what
is being done. ,

FORTUNE FOR
" THE BIRDS

New York, Nov. 4.-That $50, 900
was raised by American bird lovers
to fight for their f~eathered friends
this year through the National Asso-
citation Of Audubon societies, was an
nounced in this city, following
the annual meeting Of this organiza-
ton. Increases Of A per cent In sus-
tanning memberships, 26 per cent In
life memberships and fully SO per cent
in gross income within one year and
the doubling of it's working forces
and income since 1910 are reported
at the headquarters Of the Audubon
workers as evidences that the bird
protective movement is beginning to
receive the support of men, women
and children in every section of the
country. If the interest of the public
increases proportionately in the flu
ture. 1t is calculated that at the end
OF the coming decade, three quarters
of a million dollars will be spent an
nually for the benefit of the nations
bird life through an organization Of
ten times the fighting strength Of the
present national Audubon army of
wardens, field agents and educators.
That at least 80 cents in. every dol
iar contributed Dy SympathiZerS with
the wild birds was directly spent in
pleading their cause before congress,
forty legislatures and public officials,
or in guarding and maintaining scores
OF breeding refugees, is shown by the
financial records of the parent Audu-
bon association, the expenses Of
which have been kept down
to less than 10 per cent Of it's
income. In opposing the monied mil
linery interests to procure protection
for their feathered prey by the legis-
lators at Washington and a score OF
state capitals, many thousands of
dollars were expended in written and
spoken appeals to the people, whose
representatives have. as. a result of
their consequent demand. enacted

FRANK SELDEN
HEARD TODAY
FRANK n. SELDEN OF VALLEY
CITY READ PAPER TODAY ON
VOCATIONAL MANUAL TRAIN
ING BEFORE SECONDARY EDU.
CATION SECTION:

Before the secondary education sec
ton of the North Dakota Educational
association this afternoon, Frank H.
Selden of Valley City spoke on Voca-
tional Manual Training.
Mr.. Selden told of a new departure
In education that has made consid-
erable progress in this state to the
department of secondary education.
In part he said:
1T seems that some error has been
male in assigning me to discuss the
topic of Vocational Training. I al
most fear that my presence in this
state for four years has been to no
avail.
II am quite sure T should feel that
the ideals / stand for are not well
known were it.not that the school in
n the department. which T have the
pleasure of directing a risen in q,
few years to the position of fitting
more teachers for school shDpwork in:
this state than all other higher fnsti-
tutions of this state combined.
And II that were not enough to
brace me UP q, little when I am asked
TO discuss such a topic, ] might refer
~ a careful canvass of the state and
learn that my statement is not strong
enough by more than half.
i am not given to attempts at pull
ing down the work of others. I believe
the better method is to build up
something SO good that wrong lines
will mo- be needed. I will therefore
not undertake to tell why I long ago
discarded the ideas that others now
seem to think are just creeping over
the horizon. ] am pretty sure that
they are looking at the wrong horizon.
Neither will / attempt to tell why
mechanical science is moving forward
sc rapidly and with such universal
success--that lis a topic worthy of
more time. No n need go far in
this state to see something of what
this line of work is accomplishing,
