lines for recruits. The conditions or

and recorded before we went ahead
with introducing vocatons into the

Shops Cooperate.
We soon found the shops were
willing to cooperate with high
schools to the extent of allowing EN-
ployes' times off to attend vocational
classes. One insurance company pro-
vided that no employees were to be
taken on unless they were high
school graduates. AS an indication
Of the higher educational require
ments now demanded by business
men, might mention that the same
company since has limited its new
men to college graduates
But the child should be studied as
we'll as the vocational field. If the
schools and business and trade de-
mands are to be dove-tailed effec-
lively, in Mr.. Calls opinion.
The Personal Equst ton.
The one outstanding lack in our
American education is the general
failure to take into consideration the
personal equation. Pupils are edu-
Gated in a haphazard way. with no
effort to determine in which direction
their talents may lie.
Their qualifications now can be
determined with scientific exactness.
Educators generally fail to recognize
eve nthe broad, and easily determin-
ed facts about a child. For instance,
il is generally known that there are
two great classes of children. the
objeCt-minded and the idea-minded.
One class thinks in objective terms,
the other class thinks in words.
There you have a simple and OBJ
vious distinction which divides the boy
fitted to he a professional man from
the boy who would be successful in
the mechanical field.
There are many lesser tests. ex-
act, and scientific. that should be
made before a child should follow
any specialized courses. The matter

Mr.. Call referred to the studies

the Hartford School OF Religious
Pedagogy. In these studies, the gen

were determined by a series OF tests.

and their specific organic detects, III
any.
The practicabilty of these tests Is
now generally recognized, and some
of the more wdely known instru-
ments employed are Sanfords
vernier chronoscope, the Jastrow
memory apparatus; the puzzle test
for power of reasoning and applica-
ton: the kinacstheic board, for mus

the galvanometer, for the nervous
system; the algometer, showing re-

While academic work has been un-

NO education Is successful that
does not end in the fundamental idea

motivised. We should develop the

stated. Present academic school

professions. But figures of the Cen
sus Bureau show that but per

engaged in professional service:
Thirty-six per cent are farmers. "a
per cent are engaged in manufac-
turing. and IS per cent follow the =
trades.
There. roughly speaking, is the
