accused employe to make an explana-
ton, and il that is not deemed salts

INDIANAPOLIS, July 23.-Just as
Indiana has been recognized by the
management of the great San Francis
co fair as the leader among all the
states in the matter of consolidated
rural schools, in the same manner the
state is advancing to first place
among all the states in vocational edu-
cation
Under the vocational educational
law passed by the Indiana general as
senbiy in 1913, every child of school
age, no matter in what community,
may receive his education along the
line of that which will be of most
value to him when he leaves school,
and which, because it is practical, will
make him most happy in the perform
ance of his work
great educator once said of the
old school systems that the hours
spent out of school have taught the
children of this country more than
they ever learned in school," The
country boy, after school hours, mend
ed the pump, fixed the harness, built
a chicken coop.
The boy of the city learned human
nature and arithmetic as he vended
his papers or ran errands for the cor
ner grocer, or invented a contrivance
whereby a board, roller skate and
one foot could steer him through
crowded city street.
All this was life--nature was teach
ing the children in terms of their own
experience by actual problems, whose
solution was of vital interest to them.
Emerson said he was prouder of be-
ing able to men a shoe than of his
ability to write a book.
Discuss Practical Problems.
Indiana has an excellent vocational
educational law. 1t would be interest
ing 10 mothers and fathers of the
past generation if they could see the
school books of today, comparing them
with the books they used. Our school
books are full of practical problems.
Questions in arithmetic deal with
farm problems, problems in cooking,
with taxes and insurance.
The language work is about some
