the needs Of tie industry IN which ae
Is employed
eThere are different kinds Of boys
and different industries, and we need
different kinds OF schools and classes.
A school to meet the needs OF these
boys Is not necessarily in session six
hours a day. The teacher sometimes
wears oyeralIs and hickory shirt In
stead of a billed shirt" and creased
trousers. 1t is possible that he can
and does do something else besides
teach for q part of the day. In other
words, teaching is not the only trade
he knows. This school, whatever its
organization, its course, its teacher
and its hours, should be under public
supervision and control and be guided
IN its policies by three cooperating
factors: employers, organized labor
and school men.
What Should the School Do for the
Boy and Girl Already Employer
THE school adapted to the needs Of
the employed boy and girl should do
two things: first, when necessary. 1t
should render all assistance possible
In mapping out a life program; sec
ond. 1t should render all the assist
ance possible in carrying out that pro.
gram successfully. In pedagogical
terms, this means offering pre-Voca-
lional and vocational work.
What Does the Employer Demand OF
( This School?
1.-THE brosd-minded, fair employer
asks three things OF the school:
"Q) That it be real, interesting and
practical in every sense, and connect
"(2) That, in a business-likc way
it makes the boys and girls into the
best citizens possible, mentally, moral
ly and physically.
~ That 1t helps them to under
stand their future responsibilities bott
at work and at home and trains them
accordingly.
How Shall We Accomplish These
Ends7
"If the school is to be business-likf
It must be connected with the store OF
shop. The instruction must be such
as to enable the pupil to become more
efficient in the work In which he !:
engaged or to aid him in selecting an
other field and in training him for it
in other words it should be of the
trade extension or trade preparatory
type.
If the school is to make citizens O.
the hes tsort, there must be in the cur
riculum other than vocational sub
iects. In some cases there may bt
nothing in the daily employment o
the pupils upon which to build a course
of instruction. In this case, schoo
of the general continuation of trade
preparatory type is necessary. A dead
end job plus part time school Is NJ
longer a dead end job. Dead-end JOBS
must and do exist in industry. Indus
try cannot provide the way out. TIT
school must. One has met desd'ent
boys, who like the blacksmith's helper

What viii the Federal Government DO
TO Aid This Work?
"The Federal government Will pay
one-half of the salary OF teacher toI
such time as he may be employed In
giving part time instruction, provided
the school is in session not less than
ia hours per year and the instruction
is given during working hours to pu-
pills over IA years Of age. Tne SUD-
jects taught may be practically any
thing,-shop- work, technical suplects,
drawing, mathematics, commerclHi
subjects, such as salesmanship, or &C.
counting, or general continuation SUD-
jects.
"There is in this state State Board
OF Education which has general super
vision Of Vocational Education. In the
city of Fairmont there Is the City
Board OF Education whose duty 1t IS
to make and carry out program OF
vocational education. At West Viz
giuia University, Morgantown, west
Virginia, the Department Of Industrial
Education is ready to cooperate with
! local Boards Of Education In the for
nation of pls2s for industrial educa :
ton.
Conclusion.
All school men know that many boys
and girls enter factories as early as
the law will permit. They know what
modern requirements are; they know
| that this is an age OF specialization |;
they know that there are jobs which
offer advancement, and that there are
dead end jobs. 1t is our business as
school men to furnish what industry
cannot always furnish, an open door
of opportunity to those who would en-
ter.
I 1.-THE good American citizen manu-
facturer, labor leader, and business
man, knows that what this country
needs today is workers, intelligent
thrifty, Industrious workers, men w'o
can sltillfully do the work to be done,
men who can invent new means and
processes. Machine made furniture Is
all right, but machine made men and
bows are a curse. Only by Joining
hands with our public schools will you
develop the kind OF workmen and citi

For more than a quarter OF cen

junior editor Of this paper, has been
writing a weekly review Of the Sun
day school lesson which has been
published in various papers. 1t is

might be proud. From half to a whole
column is given each week to a study

meal are entirely non-sectarian, and
are more devoted to bringing out OF
the central thought of the lesson than
to details. They will be especially
useful to teachers and other students
and will bring the Sunday school to
the home where it is impossible for
any reason to attend the school itself.
They will also bring the bible les
sons to homes that would otherwise
not be reached at all by such teach
ing.
An arrangement has been made by
which their Sunday school helps will
be published weekly in the Herald
Patriot. We hope they will be read
and appreciated and prove as valua-
BILE in this county as they have in 9th

be considered as a free will Offering

pleased to hear from those particu-
larly interested with any suggestions,
which we are sure Charles Meyers
would gladly receive. g

drawn were honored by the bank at
Orchard, but soon others were return
