A School for the Hand Minded"

II like this school because l never could have
learned anything, and am more use In the world.
This is the way a girl pupil in the Elementary Indus
trial School of Cleveland, Ohio, describes her impress
sions of the new kind of school work, according to
a bulletin just issued by the United States Bureau OF
Education.
The Elementary Industrial School was established
to give "hand- minded" boys and girls as good a chance
as the "language.minded' have always had. Clcve.
land was one of the first cities in the United States
to make a distinction between the two types of chill
dren--those who take to books and those who do not.
In Cleveland, as in most American cities, about half
the children have been leaving school in the Sixth
grade. The Cleveland school authorities saw that
much Of this waste was due to the attempt to force
abstract intellectual effort on boys and girls whose
interest was in doing things. The Elementary Indus
trial School was meant to meet this situation. TO it
boys and girls were admitted if they were over IL
years of age and were two or more years behind thir
grade in school.
In this school one-half of the time is devoted to
English, mathematics, geography history-the two in
close connection-and to hygiene of a thoroughly
practical character. The remaining periods are given
to manual and industrial work-including shop-work
TO domestic economy and gymnasium practice. A
poll Of the pupils showed that with the girls cooking
and sewing were favorite subjects; with the boys,
mechanical drawing and woodworking. In other
schools of the same type which it is proposed to have
in Cleveland, it is probable That the course will be
extended to include a year or more Of definitely vo-
cational of trade school work, in preparation for
specific employment.
The school has been successful, even in the face
of adverse conditions. The enrolment has donbled in
the past four years. Pupils who had long since lost
interest in school work of any kind, some to the ex-
tent of being known as "dullards and incorrigibles,"
have become eager and. alert, not only in the hand
subjects, but in the academic work, as well.
In speaking OF the Cleveland work, Prot. W. n.
Hailmann, author of the Bureaus bullesin, says:
1.-THE ordinary school was born among and for the
language.minded. Intellectual and physical culture
not manuals self-expression and economic insight
was its aim. The industrial worker was practically
excluded from it; he had no leisure for it, no time to
engage in its play. This onesidedness still clings to
the school, and it is hard to eradicate.
1.-The Cleveland Elementary Industrial School may
not offer the best general solution, certainly not the
only solution, of the problem; but it does offer a
solution, and one which is at least a promising be-
ginning"

Common Sense and Schools

Children should begin the study Of agriculture at
the age of IL years. This is the belief of the greatest
specialists in the world. At least such is the opinion
Of the international Congress Of Agriculture, as EVIL
denced by a resolution passed at the annual congress
at Client, Belgium, last June.
Such being the case, the American schools are fall
ures in teaching agriculture. We used to think that
agriculture was a college study. Then the high
schools took it up. Now it should be commenced IN
the common schools.
And yet there are men who are called educators
in agriculture who oppose the Page bill and favor tae
Lever bill. The former would give federal aid to the
common schools which teach the 12-yearolds. The
latter would extend it only to the experiment sta
lions!
