Show CHICAGO AND MANUAL TRAINING. Three thousand children in Chicago cannot study manual training train-ing and cooking this year because the public schools have inadequate inade-quate facilities. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of schools, revealed that Chicago's schools have insufficient equipment for instruction in-struction in these lines. Expensive kitchen equipment, such as has been installed in seventy Chicago schools, is not necessary, according to Mrs. Young. The board of education has paid $1,050 to equip each of these schools. Suitable facilities could be provided for $320 each, acording to Mrs. Young, who said: "It is not necessary for the people of today to equip the schools for years to come. Cheaper equipment can be purchased, which would meet the needs today, and later more expensive facilities could be provided if needed." |
