The school management committee
Of the board OF education OF Chicago
has endorsed the plan 10 open the
manual training schools Of Chicago to
the pupils OF the parochial schools OF
the Roman Catholic Church. The plea
was based upon the fact that the paro-
chial schools do not have facilities for
manual training. A studied effort was
made TO keep the action OF the school
management committee quiet in order
that the action OF the committee might
be endorsed by the board OF educirfW
