ley type of training.
Mr.. Beach thinks that now is the op-
perfume time to bring this matter to
the attention of the public, as never in
the history of the United States has
there been such a demand for skilled
men and from present conditions there
seems to be no way of meeting this
demand unless some practical scheme is
devised whereby such training can be
given in the public schools.
The superintendent of schools will
take up this matter with the prudential
committee, at which time Mr.. Beach
will explain 10 the committee what
Brattleboro must do to meet the re-
quirements of the Smith Hughes bill.

INDUSTRIAL COURSE
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
State Director of Industrial Education
Comforting with Brattleboro School
Authorities.

Leon II. Beach of Montpelier, state
director Of industrial education, is in
Brattlrboro comforting with the super
inteudent aud school authorities rela-
tive To establishing. some scheme of in
dustrial education in the public schools.
Mr. Reac,i has also interviewed some
Of the employers here with the idea
of interesting them in cooperating
with the school authorities.
The most feasible and practical type
of industrial training seems to be the
part time cooperative course, where
the boy works one week in an elective
industry and the alternating week in
the high school. I'm this scheme the
hoy gets the practical trade training
i'm the shop, doing regular shop WORK
ana processes, and at the same time IN
the high school he receives the usual
high school subjects.
This scheme of Industrial training has
been in operation in Springfield (Vt.)
for five wears. Both employers and
mcmhds of the school board are un-
tinted in their praise of the practical
value of such q course. II has been the
\ experience in Springfield that the boys
clectng this part time cooperative
Icour.c have more than made good in
