The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1917-06-29

| first became actively interested
in the subject when organized labor
had introduced in our state leglsla-
ture a bill for the establishment of
state trade school, and it became
my duty, as the Legislative agent Of
the federation, to work for its en-
actment. We succeeded in having
the bill passed by the legislature,
but it met with executive disapproval
and failed to become law. This
led me to wider study of the
problem of trade instruction, follow
ed shortly by the conclusion that we
could not teach the trades, as such,
in any sort of a school, largely be-
cause of the rapid changes being
forced upon the trades by the in
PRODUCTION of new methods and new
machines. A notable instance Of
this being displacement of the old
hand compositor in the printing trade
by the linotype machine. Nearly
every trade has in the recent past,
or is now, undergoing many changes
very similar to the condition that
the printer has had to confront in
the past twenty-five years. A pure
ly trade school would experience
much financial difficulty to keep
up in mechanical equipment with
this evolution. Then, too, the ex-
perience of the child may be such
that it would not care to follow
the trade decided upon under the
circumstances and ineXperience due
to the early years of school life.
1t soon became my conviction that
what we wanted in the work of the
public schools was not so much
the idea of complete trade instruc-
ton, but rather a general practical
development of the child to meet and
master any emergency that might
arise in its life. In a word, to
develop its initiative to a point
where it would have the confidence
and self-assertion to go forward un-
der any circumstances. 1t seems
to me that the men and women in
our labor movement who are its
real force and strength are just the
men and women whose life expert
ences have developed that sort of
IL. h. t1rhn Il
things because they know that they
can, and knowing, they dare to do,
where those who have not had this
experience fear to venture and hang
back because they feel their weak
ness. You and | know that our
fighters are not slaves to a mar
row place in life-they feel and know
their strength and they will never
take nor keep the sidetrack. Our
trade union movement is made up
Of men and women who CAN and
who are full of the hope that con-
fidence and self-respect gives; our
non-unionists are the people of
weakness and despair.
What School System Needs
Then, too, it appeared to me that
our public school system needed
something to put real life into it
Some students found its academic
studies irksome, and longed for that
something that would put inspira-
ton into their school life. Then,
again, those who did find interest
in the academic instruction also
needed something, and that something
was to bring them down "out of the
sky" and plant them face to face
with a real and practical outlook
upon the problems of life. 1t be
gan to appear to me that a we'll
system of education, com
)ining practical instruction along
