Bank, | * NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, APlllL 11, 1912 INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION NEEDED Not a Mere Fad, Secretary Hine Tells Business Men—This State Must Enter Upon this Type of Education—Neces- sity for the Workingman Employes of Labor. Pritay evening at Buckingham M morial an open meeting was h.ld by the Norwich Business Men's associa- tion and there was a fair sized rep- resentation of Norwich citizens In at- tendance. Preceding the meeting and from 7.80 to 8 oclock there was a musical programme by the New Edi- son diamond point phonograph loaned through the courtesy of the Porteous & Mitchell company and operated by H. Markoff, & representative of the company. Shortly after 8 o'clock (President Herbert R. Branche called the meeting to order and the secretary, Charles H. Pearson, read his report of the last meeting, which was approved and ac- cepted. On Jail Consolidation, Committeeman C. 1 Special Smith was then heard on the question of the | Jail consolidation which is now under consideration. Committeeman Smith said that no meeting had been held yet to take action on the matter and that nothing of a very definite nature had been accomplished. As soon as additional data is secured a meeting will be called and a report will be made to the association. Two Possible New Industries. George W. Carroll of the new in- dustries committee reported. He said he had received a communication from & cut glass concern located in Meri- den. The concern has an output of $100,000 worth of stock and their pay- roll ‘amounts to several thousands of dollars. They are anxious to locate in Norwich. Mr. Carroll also reported that the committes has under consid- eration another concern capitalized at half & million dollars. He is anxious to have the concern locate in Norwich and thinks that it will benefit the city materially. Report from Development Committee. Joseph T. Cruttenden, president of the Fastern Connecticut Business Men's associations who was present made a few remarks. President Crut- tendon said he belleved the commit- tee on industries composed of repre- sentatives from all of the five asso- ciations and brought into service about @ year ago has proved very advan- tageous. i book which the associations are get- ting out is in the hands of the book ‘binders and will soon be ready for s tribution. In regard to the industrial map he sald good progress is being made. is to designate all of the unused prop- erty, water power, etc, that can be utilized for manufacturing purposes in this part of the state 80 that the heads of manufacturing concerns who wish to locate here can tell at g glance what localities are available. It is hoped to circulate these maps among real estate agents and_business men in general. President Cruttendon said | the Con- | he was quite interested in necticut Deeper Waterways associ tion_which was organized last week in New Haven, the object being the development of the waterways in this state. President Cruttendon was applauded at the close of his remarks. For Trolley Extensions. A resolution was introduced that the Norwich Business Men's essocia- tion commend the action of the com mon councll in advocating the exte: sion of the trolley lines to Maplewood cemetery and Mohegan park and fu ther that the association lend ever possible assistance to the common council in order that such action may be taken that will hasten the laying of track and that a copy of the olution be sent to His Honor X Murphy and the' common council. resolution was accepted, Becretary Hine on Vocational Tral School President Branche then introduced Charles D. Hine, secretary of the state board of education, yho gave a time- ly address on Vodhtional Training Schools. Secretary Hine was former- 1y a resident of this city and was at one time a teacher in the Broadway school, In part Secretary Hine's address fol- lows: We need facts as a basis for our | thinking and acting with reference to vocational education and vocational guldance. We find 13-year-old boys and girls scattered through all the Brades of the public schools from the first to the second or third of the high school. What is much more to our purpose we find that more than 1-2 are below the sixth grade. Many of theso children are retarded and above normal age In these grades. These will leave at 14 and go to work with lim- ited education. We apprehend very distinetly that there should be a mod- tfication of school so that @l can se- cure a reasonable and complete ele- mentary schooling. We also realize that these children must after they reach 14 receive a special training if they are to be prepared for useful work. We cannot be certain that these children will ‘enter upon industries which their parents practiced or upon any particular industry; nor can we Dbe certain that they are going to work in the same communities jn which they receive their schooling. “There are more than 40,000 such chil- dren in this state. Building trade and manufacturing cover 1-2 of the occupations into which boys are likely to go. Trade—wholesale and takes 19 per cent. We have. ‘there- fore 71 per cent. of the children to which our attention may be main directed. Domestic service which is often emphasized includes only a very small portion of the persons now em- ployed. Of Great Importance. Besides certain social facts we have some economic reasons which show that this type of education is of great importance. Indeed it is likely to transcend in of its ardent admirers and promoters now realize. 1. The difficulty of obtaining skill- ed labor. that manufacturers and other em- ployers should furnish this skilled la- bor since their fnvolved. There are ments where are apprentice schools to meet the special conditions of the em- ployment. There are solid reasons why the en- tire solution of the problem cannot be Justly or safely entrusted to employ- ers. ” Under the large establishment retail, _etc., &ystem the division of labor has been | carried to an extreme. The tempta- tion to sub-divide labor is so impelling that the perfection of the young in one or two processes is decisive. It is a waste of time and apparently a waste of money to teach each all processes. Again the ebb and flow of labor is such that individual firms and em- ployers feel that it is of little advan- ed may leave to enter other concerns, tage to train boys who once perfect- ‘ 2 The practical extinction of cheap land limits the laborer to the occupa- | existence. regions is In the old times tions which are now in Farming in the ploneer no longer an outlet. a man might gather together his be- longings and a little money ahd trans- port his family to the west where land He said that the 60 page | The idea of the industrial map | importance what most | It is sometimes contended | interests are mainly | large establish- | and Will Solve Problems of the trial life. Morsover the glare of the city retains many . This tendency In- creases competition and lower wages| in_industrial persuits. 3 Industrial education is also nec- essary to meet foreign competition. It appears that the future of trade bo longs to our manufacturer. If he needs skilled employees when he com- petes with his fellow countrymen for more must he need it when he faces foreign competition where there s complete industrial as well as higher technical training. 41t is not far from the foregoing | to the general notion that the power of a nation depends upon its resources | and its skill and the development thereof. 1f we admit the foregoing social and | economic propositions we must con- truct a type of education distinctly economic and severely practical. | that somehow, New these general considerations u in many quarters come homa| to us in this state. This movement | is not a mere fad. The demand for | skilled labor is far greater than the| supply and under our present condi- | tions it is difficult ana unprofitable for the manufacturer to train all-round | apprentices. He must compete _with the world and decrease the cost of pro- duction and increase the quality of the product. The wise employer therefore locks to industrial education | From the point of view of the| working man it is becoming more | and more necessary the passing uf cheap lands and the close environment | | which makes the struggle for existence | |flerce. This state must enter upon| | this type of training. We must solve the question of the school in view of some of the facts | which have been recited indicating the probable life career of the children | and we shall elicit some subjects which | are suitable for industrial training. A | Doy is to enter upon his life work at | 14 and to_this boy Latin and algebra | are stumbling blocks rather than | helps. While we endeavor to develop | the instincts of good citizenship we| | must prepars boys to take their share | |in_the world's work. | "School teachers can mo longer con- tent themselves with turning out. the ancy scholastic article. We must | follow our product and see how he o e e If he turns out to have nothing which enable him fo find a job we must | ready and willing to substitute some adequate scheme which will | bring him into closer touch with thee business world. The problem is not | the mere production of citizen work- | ers but thelr distribution. The school master has been manufacturing iike some of our other manufacturers what he fancied was a good article irrespec- tive of the demand. Today he is learn ing that the career of his pupils is a matter of ever growing importance | and that there must be produced in some way or other a person who has an economic value in the business | world. Interest of the business world is just | as vital in the production of men and | women of the right type as the edu- | cational world The unskilled and most of the skilled come from the elementary schools. We | have not had trade schools in which they could be trained. The evening schools ang the continuation schools | to be referred to have prepared a very fow. « ~ The Age Limit. The age lmit in this state and in many states is 14, and there has been agitation to ralse this age to 18 or 17, ‘The results in this direction have not so far been satisfactory. The dissat- | isfaction with the literary type of edu- cation with the retardation and with some other defects have glven many people the notion that our present mchool system does not give value for tho money expended. It also creates hesitation as to the dublous project of Taising the age without specifying the type of education to be given. it means | moreover that if the education is to be | given in connection with the present school system the ewpenses of this | system must be very much enlarged | for maintenance and teaching power. | Personally my impression is that if tho | age is ralsed it ought to take place | gradually and should give an increas- | ing bias to trade education for liveli- hood by schools of an exclusively trade nature. This trade education will not cost more than high school education and perhaps in a measure will take the place of the high school system. Seperate from Present System. My personal opinion is that this| system ought not to be part of the existing school system. The school- | master has not yet got his machinery | into the vocational order of working. He {s looking for formal knowledge for | study for its own sake with the hope | in some way, it will| work good for the recipient. There is an immense loss of time and of enersy | in our present sehool system. We are | paying for the time and for the ener- gy. There ought to be measures of efficiency and of accomplishment. So long as there are not predominant in- fluences we are not qualified to take | charge of an education which must consider speed, accuracy and highly | trained Intelligence. If this education remains hands of the school men we insist upon direct connection employers and business to Wl children are likely to go. When trade relations are _established employer will want the best, and schooimaster will recommend only Dest. Moreover, if the employer lieves in supporting -home Industries | he will begin by exerclsing an interest in_the local schools. Finally, we come to the immediate problems’ before us—those of here and now. Bome of these are il digested. | inasmuch as they concern local condi- tions, and some are difficult to work. is tmperative on employers and th assoclations of business men that they possess o firsthand knowledse | practical acquaintance with _definite propositions so that they may be equipped te put their impress on the educatien of the worker and to render the scheme useful and practical. Oth- erwise they may have to put up with something they do not approve. They should therefore make it their business %o_g0 out of their way to get into direct connection with the existing schools: They should formulate the kind of school and the stamp of recruits that will correspond with the type reuired They can support any local organiza- tion of proper provision for emplove! or apprentices in their own particular trade. A burst of enthusiast grected the speaker as he ¢ address. n applacse | nciuded his | Answered Questions. Secretary Hine afterwards answered a number of questions relating to the steps taken in securing a trade school the Putnam trade school established | by the state, and the relations between the state ard the several trade schools now established In the state. He also showed a_number of pictures of what | 1s belng done In trade schools. A rising vote of thanks was given Secretary Hine for his address and the Porteous & Mitchell company for the loan of their phonograph.
