The School at Factory.
The rost Interesting thing to the
teachers vas the schoo. Mr. Ford was
running At his fscto-y. The man in
charge hare assured us that the fl
teen hundred cars per day that were
Tun out OF the back door Of the fac
tory we're the by-product OF the fac
tory, that the real business of the
factory was the making OF men
They have twenty-five thousand men
and the great object OF this school
il to Amsrtcsnfze foreigners and to
make intelligent factory workers out
Of Ilttsrate employees They attempt
20 teach their employees the proper
use OF their wages. They encourage
home keeping and Zns systematic re-
union OF separated families L such a
thing Is possible. .hese things pre-
coed the profit sharing and the $500
per day wage that Is paid IL the fac
tory
When man shows himself worthy
by coming UP 10 the factory ideals In
these various lines. he gets the $500
wage and Is allowed TO participate in
the profit sharing IL he is over eigh-
teen years OF age and II he has some
family depending upon him. When he
Is first taken into the factory he en-
tsrs their school On six months trial
II at the end Of the first six months
he has not come up TO the required
standards of the factory he is given
a second sir months trial II he still
fails, he Is given third six months
trial, at the end Of which time, II he
has not reached their ideals of eff
cheney he automatically eliminates
himself from the factory
One great feature OF Ford's scheme
Is to give chance for q new start
for men that have served lme in
penitsntiaries. They give courses in
thrift, table manners, etiquette and
course that liz known es the A. NJ.
D. L. d. course which means, "a mis-
take doubly lived down" One great
Incentive to tbs accomplishing nt Of
the desired results in Ford's school Is
the $500 per day at the close Of six
successful work.
New NationafIsm.
In the great convention which open
ed Tuesday one problem which re-
ceiyed considerable attention was the
problem Of new nattonalism, and a
correct solution OF this question was
lett to be very essential to the future
position Of our nation Ii was sug-
gested that one OF the beliefs OF the
past was the feeling that true love
Tor America went hand in hand with
hatred of mother country. A better
attitude was suggested to be one in
which we should celebrate world
heroes with our Washington. Lincoln.
etc, emu1ating the great and noble
If all ages and all nations.
One session was given up to the
discussion OF the interest Of school
boards. Edward 3. Cubberly of Le-
and Stanford university, among other
things. congratulated the school that
has competent school board conttnu-
ally in Office He said the functions
If the board were largely to select
experts, determine expenditures, ap-
prove policies, select school sites, pre-
vent bad legislation and keep the
public informed. He said that their
JUNCTION is largely legislative and not
executive.
