Show technical what Is wrong with d our system by PROF F PARK U HAVE HEARD and read a great deal of late about industrial education but what tie we mean by industrial edica pation cation there seems to be much confusion in tile standing anding Bt and use of this term under this heading one writer may include schools of drawing wanlo another may mean classes in shop arithmetic or courses in textile processes or schools of manual training or trade schools etc but I 1 think we should irce i that tile tern ought to mean schools directed to prepare oung nn or women for trades or to help men already in the trades to understand better their particular line of work and to become more efficient that there is great need of such bools is appreciated by all who aro are connected with the management of mechanical industries among the controlling ie is the deplorable fact that the majority of the working people regard with aith indifference everything r copt that which con concerti cerni 6 their oun interests and there is no power to which a appeal p peal can be made to 0 o compel those these people to attend any educational institution if it they do not desire to do so we have hear much of into late scars a of captain 4 of industry but the efficiency of the industrial indu strul art depends in a very large measure beasi and probably to a constantly increasing extent upon the capacity of the noncom non com olli officers cers in other word nord upon the foremen and tho the superintendents it is for cheze men that the school for industrial foremen was started six si years ngo by the trustee of the louall institute under the auspices of the massachusetts institute of technology these foremen receive the same education today to day as tile ordinary mechanic and it ups thought that 4 it would bo be a great benefit to the community at largo large if they could hao baic some training in rip plied science to attempt hotneier how hot ever heier to train young men separately for the position of foremen would be under tinder the existing organization of labor nn an impossibility as the tile foremen must continue for the present at least to be promoted from among tile mor workmen kmen therefore to give them such an education as is desired it ia is necessary to train men who ulio am are alicade working at their trade the country is well supplied with technological schools of college c rank which arc are turning out technical engineers but there is M mat r at need of technological schools still of high grade function bo be to train foremen and superintendents or to fit men to occupy such positions there arc many occupations in which advancement ia is dependent upon knowledge of general scientific principles as well as upon skill |
