Either organization, said Professor McNary, -had a special in- terest in the trode training and the thing te be given considération is the welfare of the boy and the girl. No state, he said, is going to permit the turning over of the hoy and girl to any organization having speclal inter- es Prevocational School First Step. The speéaker discounted the sugges- tion that' the schoolmaster is going to spoil trade education. “I don’t be- lieve the businessman is worrying very much about that,” he said. My difficulty has been in getting manu- fadturers interested in trade educs tion and I see no reason for seperat- ing trade education from the public school systém because of fear of what the school men may do to it.’ His solution of the problem of trade schools and prevocational schaols was first to get the prevocational schopl work under way as4n experiment and to develop the trade school after thut prablem had been solved. “The hig problem,” he said, “is not only to train the boys, but to place them in their trades. . It is quite pos- sible to establish a big school and not be doing the iatter. gaing . to expend the large per capita cost, we must show the public that the boy is able to mdke use of his training commercially.” The speaker said that New Britain is leading the state in trade educa- tion and other school systems are be- ing modeled after the systems estab- lishéd here.

Perhaps the most .in- teresting feature of this was the ex- planation of the novel methods used to give muscular sense training to the boys by mechanical means.

The beginners are not started on exercises, as has formerly been the custom, but are at once set to work on objects that will have commercial value, “Their motions are made accurate by jigs which guide their tools. Community's lmlustrleu Taught. Professor McNary also suggested that trade schools teach 'the boys how to do the work donexin their own city. His suggestion was that the boys in New RBritain’s 'prevocational school, for instance, :be taught the processes of the 'different factories here so that they may leave the school fitted to perform some particular work in a particular factory.

H. Martin. The report consisted of the names of the teachers who will be em- ployed during the scholastic year of 1915-16 and the salaries it was pro- posed to pay them. Dr. Martin be- lieved that the report should have been in the hands of the members of the board a few days before in order that they might use better judge- ment in deciding on the salaries. He did not believe it proper to pass judg- ment quickly on a matter in which thousands of dollars was being spent. E. C, Goodwin, a member of ths board, objected to his daughter not securing an increase in salary at the Open_Air school and the Board voted to grant her a $50 a year increase. Judge B I".

C. Goodwin asked whether there had been a mistake in<the salary his daughter, Florence Goodwin, the Open Air school. He was informed that there had been no mistake as it had been de- cided not to increase the salary of any principals except that of Miss Dunbar of the Rockwell school. Superintendent Holmes stated that no disecrimination had been shown against Miss Goodwin and no reflec- tion implied against her ability. M. Pratt believed if Miss Goodwin decs the work of a principal she shéuld | receive a commensurate: salary. M Gobdwin insisted that if his daughte was regarded as a grade teacher he would receive an automatic increase in salary.

The Savings Bank, Regarding the inauguration of sav- ings banks in schools which had been laid over at the last meeting, Mr, Goodwin, chairman of the committee, said that the committee reported late because it considered the time inop- portune and would not have been re- ported at all for the fact that the plan fits into the scheme of things at the Prevocational school. 1f s, de- sirable that the bank have the aid of ' bank men and one bank has shown considerable interest and spirit.

Mr. Pease stated in a positive man- ner that he did not believe it would be well te place the bank under the management of any organized bank. Dr. Martin explained that he did not favor the plan because of the savings effected but because of its value to a commercial course. He didn’t think the “penny saving” spirit counted to any extent.
