Control of the industrial schools of Germany. Ele

mentary school teacher, 13: 269-73, February 1913.

Owing to the dual school organization in Prussia, there has been a conflict of interests between the clerical party and those interested in industrial education. The clericals want "a guaranty that one hour per week shall be given over to their hands for religious instruction. The other party claims that religious teaching has no place in a trade school. As it is now, only the districts or communes can make attendance compulsory. The result is that for the most part Prussia has only voluntary trade-school attendance."

The author says that two public-school systems in the same city create jealousy. The interests of the people are divided; a feeling of class division in society exists, thus undermining demooracy. Munich leads all German cities in its trade-school development, because it has a united school system. Describes conditions in the states of Wurttemberg and Baden, which were the first to develop industrial schools.

[ocr errors]

Summarizes the conclusions of the Committee under eight heads. Says: "... Industrial education and trade training must not only consider the mechanical and technical necessities of the mechanic, but also the culture and moral aesthetic side of life of the man and citizen.

"That manual training, as now conducted, is too exclusively devoted to the acquisition of manual dexterity, but if broadened and deepened and made more technical by the addition of suitable subjects, it can be made an excellent foundation for industrial education, and become a preparation for trade training." Recommends a system of specific trade schools, the burden of conducting them being equally divided between the community and the state."

States the attitude of the manufacturers toward the trade-unions. Quotes largely from other reports.

"Your committee has had correspondence with all the officers and managers of the principal industrial and trade schools throughout the country and they all agree with us that a much higher grade mechanic can be graduated from a trade school than can be produced through the apprenticeship system in the old way."

Report . . . Sixteenth annual meeting, New York City, May 15-17, 1911. [n. p., 1911] 11 p. 8°. Caption title.

H. E. Miles, chairman.

The Association at this meeting passed a resolution favoring the establishment in every community of continuation schools for the benefit of children (14 to 18 years of age) engaged in the industries.

Attention was called by the committee to the fact that- "Almost all of the children who enter the industries enter at the age of 14. The working people of the country who wish their children to enter the industries take them out of school, knowing from experience that if they stay in school until 16 they will have passed the psychological time when industry beckons-will have acquired other tastes, and will never enter the industries. The American-born mechanic, then, is the boy who entered the shop at 14, grown up. Therefore, as good citizens and as employers, it is for us to give especial consideration to the educational problem as it concerns children of 14 to 16." Industrial education, continuation and trade schools, apprenticeship, state and local control, pre-vocational courses in elementary schools. Report... Seventeenth annual convention, New York City, May 21, 1912. [n. p., 1912] 39 p. 8°. (No. 28) Cover title.

H. E. Miles, chairman.

Reiterates demand for continuation schools. Day classes for those in employment, and no loss of wages, these to be for children between 14 and 16 years of age. For those from 16 up, night work is permissible. "It is advisable that, as in Wisconsin, the development of industrial education be put into the hands of a special state board of industrial education."
