straight over the home OF Little Joe

The place he had chosen for a

deepest pools In the Laughing

against continuation schools which
are run for the purpose OF allowing
day workers some time TO continue
their education during the day time.
great deal has also been said
Tor ana against having these contin-
uation schools teach the students
only the mechanical subjects in which
they are directly interested. and not
the mental which all students In the
regular day classes are taught.
In some cases these CRITICISMS are
Just, but In most cases the idea Of
teaching the continuation student
subjects other than those in which
he Is directly interested is not prac-
ticable.
Some thought must be given TO
the fact that N a student worker is

lines Is being run In New York city

prentices are here taught the finer
