Industrial Training In
the Public Schools Is
the Bigger, Better Idea

cational association week is to be dis
cussion of industrial education, which,
Lit is hoped, will give added impetus to
the movement which is behind the
Smith Hughes bill in congress, provid-
ing federal aid for vocational training.
The bill has been favorably reported
in both houses in Washington.
The Detroit conference will be con-
Quoted by the National Society for the
Promotion of Industrial Education.
Michigan would receive approximate
ly $4,000 in 1916, and an increasing
share up to S214000 in 1924, as her pro-
portion of the proposed federal grant
to aid the states in establishing schools
devoted TO practical instruction in the
trades, commerce, various industries
and agriculture.
The funds would be apportioned ac-
cording to urban population. so that
Detroit would receive one-third of Mich
igan's totals.
Endorsement and active support for
this bill, wherever possible, should be
readily forthcoming.
The state would benefit. 1t is very
apparent that it would. When the state
profits, particularly in a matter of this
kind, the nation MUST profit.
Every stone added TO the foundation
adds to the stability and permanence of
the big structure
AS an instance of what education will
do. there can be cited the fact that OPP
position to manual training in the
schools has almost completely disap-
peared.
Those who hold that the public school
has discharged its full obligation when
il has done with the three Rs, are few
and far between today.
They are fewer and farther between
as compared to the numbers who pro-
tested when the public school work was
broadened to include practical training
in the work of life.
1t has dawned quite clearly upon the
majority that To be "a successful wife
and good mother. woman has no par
ticular need for higher mathematics,
geometry, Latin or Greek.
It is quite generally appreciated, too.
that providing practical knowledge and
training for the trades has enabled the
coming citizens and builders to remain
in school and complete common school
Here is success to the men and wo-
men who have thought and worked for
the expansion of school work so that its
complete benefits have been placed with
in the realization of all.
The state and the United States will
be benefited.
The Smith-Hughes bill should pass.
There would be handsome returns
from the investment.

Railway Commission at Outs
= With the Attorney General

(From q Stan Correspondent)
Lincoln, Aug. 25.-(Special.)-The
controversy over the right OF the
Rock Island railroad and other roads
to raise the charges on excess bag
gage because of the raise in pas
senger rates has brought on con-
troversy between the attorney gen.
eral of the state and the railway COM
mission as to the rate to be charged,
the former having dug up ruling
of the commission covering an apph-
cation of the roads for permission to
reduce excessive baggage rates,
which was granted on May %, 1908.
In answer to the attorney general,
the commission says that the ruling
made by Mr.. Reed practically gives
the roads the right to raise the rates.
In the communication sent to the
commission today, Attorney General
Reed reviews the situation somewhat
and asserts that the commission has
failed to make an order necessary to
change the basis of charging for ex-
cess baggage.
