are making special efforts to Intro Introduce introduce duce lluco manual training Into these schools In Salt Lake Lako what U le truo true of this city Is ts true of other places o It I r have

pastime that thaI loads them Into idleness and fre Ire frequently Iret t a Into frivolous lives 1108 The rime ques question tion as ns to what should be bo done Bono with these thesa young oung people during these long summer vacations It If we Ie had In Inthe Inthe Inthe the City of Snit Salt Lake a manual training chool hundreds hundred of our boys loye within a Il avery avery very few summers might learn much that goes to ms make malo o up a trade Looking r to those particular needs neede President Smith appointed n a committee to make c Investigation and report to the tho Gen aen General oral eral Church Board Hoard of ot Education I tho the status of affairs In this flits respect and alto also ol o what In III the judgment of It the tho com corn could be Iw donel to remedy the tho evils elIs that are so en apparent among us A report has not been baen made and there therefore therefore fore tore I cannot give Iva you the findings of elf u 1 that body Hut But I u desire desir to call your at nt attention to one ona Item of ot their theft Investigation lion tion After Atter a 0 careful computation of the tho Industrial situation In this state stale from the tho standpoint of the tradesman U It was wa found reckoning on a conserva conserve live tle basis that wo we are oro paying out every c year aar something like eight millions of ot dollars to tradesmen that our own onn peo 1 pie Ille are ale diminishing In numbers In this class that many mall of the older ones are areno no Po to speak out of date late not laving having kept up with the demands of the tho times J that we e are gathering few from foreign countries who learn trades In their no tin tinh h Live land and that we are hating few tell lf or no apprentices among us UR One of this committee several of which are aro tit nt tho the head of Industrial concerns In n this city made the remark that during the 30 t ray V years he had been Jeen III of a n build building buildt buildIng t ing firm arm they the had not educated one sin sintie tie apprentice e We feel the necessity n of this training We feel that t the lice pao jile Ille should give It their support I am amr r perfectly freo tree to say s Y to you this after afternoon afternoon noon that of the Uio are that hat their theft fons sons should bookkeepers We Wea a r have liae 10 0 young o nJ men anxious to become bookkeepers where whore we have a place for one of them when they are arc educated We AVe do llo not havo have one young man learn IMm learning IMmIng ing lug a Q trade where there thero Is IB and will bo be bon boa a n demand for tor CO fi of or them within tho the next few fell years enl So they thoy arc are preparinG In great numbers for Cor that which they are not likely like to need leed and anI neglecting that which they ther ought to have In the tho course of their education Ono One of the reasons rl for this Is la the sentiment which the parents Inculcate In the thu hearts of or their children by lIy encouraging them to pursue some branch of study that hat Is la called culture I would like ike to o relate an nn anecdote that explains much of ot our educational culture In these those times Some Home few telY years oar ago ngo when I was at Harvard tho the dean of the scientific school said to me that our educational culture was so 0 empty and so worthless that he never neler used usell tho the worth word culture when ho lie could possibly avoid It Then ho he related an nn anecdote of two farmers who were ware cultivating their land none near the town lawn of Cambridge whore where wh re rethe the tho Harvard university Is situated These two farmers came rame to the tho parti partition lion tion fence one tiny day I ny and one of them said salil to the other enter John what Is cal cul hue tuie Why John says dont you OU know what culture is 18 No said he to uI I h hear hiRr nr these those school teachers that come rome by hero on to Arlington Heights eights In the thu summer time talking about cul cuI culture ture tire They Tho say fla he Is 18 cultured or she sho Is IR cultured or they tha are aio cultured and andOh andoh Oh Oil my In how I do love lovo culture Now what are aro they hay talking about Why sold paid John you jou OU know what potato cal cul culture ture turn Is Yes es I know that And Andou AndOu you ou know squat wheat culture Is YeS Ve I know that Well you take lake takeout out the wheat and find take out the pota vota potatoes toes and then Ihen hen you have tho line culture Our education has been provided In Ina Inn inA a n large measure by the state slate and it has made madu its demands upon us and that education lint has been almost exclusively confined to hooks books In some gome of oC the east eastern eastern ern states atutes wealthy men are arc contributing lug ing In their means for the tho establishment nf or Institutions where young men can con learn mechanism and these Institutions ore are most Interesting In some gome ot of the states the tha government It Itself Itself Itself self Is establishing c schools of technical training In order that the citizens may IMY maybe maybe be more useful I 1 expect to see the day In Utah when tho the men that are pos pOSe rv d of means will contribute likewise for tho the establishment of similar Inell Institutions In tI In the tha state and In tho the Church that our eury young people may become moro more useful u c ul In building up UI the country For Tor mechanism has hils In It U something that Is stable It educates educate the Judg Judgment judgment ment and It gives wisdom to the men mell anti and who are 1110 trained to use their lands hands along with their bruins Its Importance to us cannot W bd overestimated mated VALtI OF 01 TECHNICAL SCHOOLS A few months ngo ago I had the opportunity unity oC or traveling through Canada Canalla and ond Como somo of tho time cities of tho the east cast I found In many of those thoRe largo large cities schools of technical training I 1 found they the ev had a n very t et upon tho the morals of the people For Tor example example these thele schools were were kept up from morning until ten at It night During the middle of the day you would sec Pee tho the bootblack after Ills his work was scan over oer In the morning wend wand we nil his hla way Into the time school and the newsboy after he had sold his hili morning edition was going Into this technical school that he might learn him a n trade I nm am told toM that some of those thoRo boys have hao already grad graduated d from these schools and that Inv In Instead Instead stead stood of blacking boots or selling BellinI news newspapers newsPAPerS papers they the are now mechanics earn earning earning ing In good wages and are arc valuable citi citizens tens zens In the communities where they live I remember very Cry well when visit visitIng visitIng visiting Ing one of these polytechnic schools In Brooklyn the man took us Into Inlo a n room and said These benches and this work nm all nil ready rr all tar for the men who come here at night I asked him who theRo men were wel Ho Ile replied They are arc mostly clerks from the n and men that are ore driving teams After Attar their work In IP I over oel at nt six In tit the tho even een evenIng evenIng Ing they the go o home at nt once to supper and they hey I are lire here by b seven Roen It Is only n question of two or three years until their services are demanded In Sean of ot the best ben workshops of the city and some same of them now are arc earn earning earning ing large salaries Many of ot our young oung men find compelled to take lake up vocations In life for fot which they are not suited They The are arc clerking In stores store when they th have havo that mechanical talent that would make them most useful In that line We are encouraging come flome of or our young oun men to BO go east elst and work up In these theRo technical schools One or two are now at nt work and It Is IA hoped that others will go as ns soon coon as liS they possibly can con and fit themselves for the tho demands demand that must be made upon them In the time near future We not only desire that these schools should l be organized or In the Church but It Is U only a question qu of time when they the will hI he b organized In Inthe inthe I the tho state and our Legislature will wll be beas bens beas as ns anxious to appropriate money monty to teach leach men to bo ha artisans as nR they are aro areto to teach them Latin and Greek and foreign languages that they the have no use for Cor but Jut wo we 0 can cnn hardly make some Ome of our legislators today realize that manual manua training and that the artisan Is li ns as Important to our state as a the stu student student dent of or Greek r ec and Latin I desire to I say pay that we shall respond ns as tar far andas and i ios ns os rapidly ni ns we can to the thi Instructions which our President has given chen us We Wo realize only too tOil well ull the thu truth of ot Jil his remarks In this respect EDUCATION One thIng more We have hala organized ed edIn In this tills state stale an agricultural experiment station It U has haR given out Omit ory very valuable Information that will make our people scientific and technical farmers aye nye and teach them how to cultivate the soil soli how holl to raise stock tock and our house housewives housewives wives how to produce In this state a n million III II lion dollars a year more than they the thedo do from their poultry When I was AI In Canada I was wa told toll of the tho groat value to the farmers o of that country the bul Issued by Dr Dc of ot the Agricultural college had hod been to them how holl ninny many thousands J of dollars bulletins had been In wealth to time the peo people pIe away ort oft In eastern Canada I 1 asked myself the tho question How floss much value Rlue hole have these bulletins been to the tho people In the time slate where whore they the are nrc Issued d Dr Di Truman Allen Alien of Urn till Agricultural stan ta lion at Washington Wa says Rays of them that they the arc are the highest lightest authority lit in the world on the subjects ca that they treat of And nd Dr o in III one of our home borne hays hoys and In is giving out to the tho world this Information that ls is doing ding so o many hun bun lions of thousands of dollars good to tho the world while many nany of us at home have 1119 scarcely Mcarce gained any uny value from them whatever I was IU very ery glad when the Legislature set apart something like for experimental work In the dry farms tarmac of ot this state and If you jou will watch wa t cis tho mho work s ark of ot this eminent scientist let 1st If you OU will read tead something of his bulletins you will gain Mn great grent odean advantage tage lage and you may herome prof professional l n l farmers farmerR and He fe is Just now finishing a n bulletin on n nI I understand It will be out of th time the press p l soon I hope that he will l isue IRue ue a popular lar edition of that In is 8 strip It ot of It its Ita scientific and technical term terms for I am sure that whon when we sn s c rome one to ln out something more moie about Irrigation we shall discover that after nil In nanny many places It Is 18 not lIot more water that we wenel need nel but a n moro more and nn accurate use of tho the water that thaI we have already Ko So I am nm pleaser pleased to make these thelo state statements statements ments ment to you OU here because I feel that by b a II little attention on our own part by b Y following the Investigations and ex ox experiments experIments of eminent men In our midst and especially by following the work of or our scientist t Dr ie eve Ie may
