"EXALT MAN IN
OVERAIiS" Is
PLEA OF JONES

Truman N. Jones. director Of the
industrial continuation school.
made plea for tho men In over
alls last night in an address before
the Moline University club at the
high school. Mr.. Jones urged ex-
tension Of the continuation school
idea and declared some vocational
training should be made compul-
sorry for every boy and girl. I'VE
are inclined to look down on the
man in overalls," he said. I'VE
ought to begin to exalt him and
make him feel that We respect his
job as much as that Of the profess
sional man."
Mr.. Jones said the Moline con-
tinuation school was one Of the
first established in America. There
are At present 6 students in the
school. These boys are appren-
tees in tho factories, attending
classes q half day each week for
four years.
THE system has been Q general
success. Ninety-eight per cent Of
the boys who start the course finish.
These men will be foremen and
leaders In industrial life"
Mr.. Jones gave q brief synopsis
Of the new Illinois educational law
which goes into effect in Septem-
Der, 1921, for children between the
ages of IA to 16; in September.
1922, for children between IA and
II, and in September, 1928. for chill
dren from IA to Is. This law re-
quires school authorities in certain
districts to establish part-time
classes and require children to at
tend such classes. These contin-
uatiQn schools shall afford instruc-
ton in subjects usually taught in
the public schools, In civic and vo-
cational subjects and in those sub
1ects which supplement the daily
occupation Of the students.
This new law, according to e. p.
Nutting, principal Of Moline high
school, has one big difficulty not
solved by the legislators who in
augurated the system. That diffi-
Guilty is the problem of obtaining
the money to finance this educa-
ton.
