Netherlands, Oct. 13. —Flags are fiying from fishermen's Scheveningen, homes all along the Dutch coast in celebration of the agreement arrivedat with Great Britain on fishery question. 4 When England’s blockading warships some months ago began to take the squat Dutch smacks and luggers into British ports, on the ground that nine- ty per cent. of their catches was pre- sumably destined for Germany, bop- ular resentment in Holland rose to a high pitch. Fishing in the North Sea for a time practically came to a stand- still. leased by the British authoritles, and The relief felt at the solution of the difficulty is great. The hundred or so detained craft have already been re- the entire Dutch fishing fieet of over a thousand vessels is to be entirely free to again carry on its operations in the North Sea—always with the exception of the “forbidden zone.” Britain’s conditions, stipulated with the Dutch fishing intérests—the Neth- erlands government had nothing to do with the negotiations—are that from | September 1 until the end of the war the catches shall be placed on the open market as heretofore, but that not more than 20 per cent thereof shall be sold to Germany. Home consumption will take another 20 per cent. while England reserves the option to pur- chase a further 20 per cent. at prices ruling for Dutch buyers. The remain- ing 40 per cent. may be disposed of to_any and all countries not war with Great Britain, and the British authorities bind themselves to pay substantial subsidy of 30 shillings per barrel of 115 kilograms thus sold, to compensate for the higher prices that might have been obtained from Ger- many, reserving the right to do this in Treasury notes of a year's term. Further, the owners whose ships were | taken in are compensated for _any damage incurred to nets during such operation, while permi sion is again given to draw from Eng- land all the nets and other fisi¥ng gear required. One of the indirect results of this settlement is that the Dutch hope to recapture the American market for Dutch salted herring—which had been lost to them owing to the fancy pri which German bidding nad created. Before the war the United States was, next to Germany, the best customer taking 14,157 tons of herring in 1913. In 1915, American herring imports from Holland had dropped to 1,593 tons, and during the first seven months of 1916, only eight tons of Dutch herring found their way across the Atlantic. German buylng competition will now be excluded so far as 80 per cent. of the catches is concerned, and it is hoped that the British subsidy, which something like the entire e of the product in normal times, will en- able dealers to find a big overseas market at moderate prices despite the high freight rates. It should how- | ever be added that outward freights have not risen in anything the same proportion as those {o Ilurope. In fact, almost half of the ships sail- ing from Dutch ports to transatlantic destinations are in ballast. Leading fshery interests in this country estimate that from now on un- til the end of the herring fishing sea son, some 20,000 tons of salted he ring will be shipped to America under this arrangement. This is figured on @ basis of 80 to 35 per cent of an es- timated total catch of half a million barrels. As regards the fresh sea fish branch of the fisheries, a separate agreement has been concluded, by which 30 per cent. of the catches is to be reserved for home consumption, and of the re- maining 70 per cent. half will to Britain and half to Germany. Tlhe British dealers will buy in the open market in competition with the Ger- man, but certain maximum prices have been fixed in the case of this fresh fish, any margin above which will be made good to them by the fishing craft owners. Judging from the fact that 145,000 tons of salted herring and fresh sea fish was exported to Germany last vear, by the foregoing ingenious com- promise Britain will manaze to in- tercept over 100,000 tons of fish food a year that previously went to help provisioning the besieged Central Powers. SHED FIRE CALLED OUT FIRE DEPARTMENT Slight Damage Resulted from Blaze at Old Car Shop on North Main Street. At 5.20 o'clock Thursday afternoon an alarm from box 24, North Main street, near Roath, called out the fire department for a small fire in a shed at the north end of the old car shop on North Main street owned by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company.

Men of affairs rusted education to go on its own lines, with a conviction that the three r's have indispensable practical value, and with a h that education a the so-called cnltured subjects was # ¢ood thing for the individual, though no particular value in affairs. Ed- have gone on_organizi t education ‘and the disintereste pursuit of truth. They have thought out the relation of schools to profes- ions and professional schools, in ed- ucation, theology, engineering, archi tecture, law, medicine, agriculture— mark the of Zanization of higher voca- tional training. But in the last few vears we have faced and larger and more difficult questions. Is the train- ing for trades—elementry _ vocational training, to be undertaken by our pub- lic school system? In the training for semi-professional callings, designers, builders. accountants, foreman and _su perintendents in many lines of indus- {ry and commerce—secondary voca- tion training—is that an affair of the schools to be incorporated in public education? In Europe technical education is ev- erywhere regarded as an essential fac. tor in industrial efficiency. To develop a new industry or to revive one that is languishing, they institute schools for the industry. So raise the tariff; they ralse the schools. The Swiss make the most perfect watches; the oldest technical trade_school is sald to be the School for Watch-making of Gen- eva. German chemical industries lead the world; the dves of the tex- tile industries, ‘the colors of the art- ist, the inks for fine printing, especial- ly ' color-printing, are German; Ger- many has over six thousand school- trained. Lacking in Efficiency. One thing we lack almost every- where is efficiency. Now three-fourths of this matter of efficiency is train- ing, that is, applied education. We cannot get efficiency without training. We cannot get training with- out schools. That is one of the ob- vious things de don’t see. Efficiency has come to mean today a very com- plex thing, and the traming for it is a very complex thing. Abroad we see training and efficien. cy go hand in hand. In the countries where technical education is most bighly developed efficiency strikes you at_every turn; the cleanness of the streets; the even, quiet movement of the street cars; the perfection of ma- chines; the artistic lines and durable construction of the houses: the beau- ty of stained glass the quality and de. sign of the lineoleum you walk on; the planning of cities ‘extensions, of garden cities; the wealth of industrial countries like England, Belgium, France, Germany, the revival of Itall- an commerce. In Italy the movement of technical education is now_ turning the convents and pglaces and fortress- es of the middle ages into art indus- trial schools and mesums. The fundamental fact of the pres- ent educatioh system of the United States is that it serves a section of the people adequately; it does mnot serve the mass of the people adequate- ly. Parents know it instirfctively and withdraw their children. -Children of the mass knew it instinctively and beg to quit school and go to work. The rsychology of this is that most of us are thing-thinkers and thing-doers. Wa want our drawing-paper and pencl], our rule and tape measure, our clays and wood metal and txtiles, our tools Men who know it all are fit com- panions for women who know almost nothing. and fire. Then there 1s not a basic process of industry that the average boy won't learn with zest, if the school would only let him. And the schoel | in enly now bezinping to appreciate ~ that fact of child nature. For un- conséious wisdom of education, I com- mend Tom Sawyer—that chapter on whitewashing the fence. The abstract studies that filled our curricula have emptied our schools. The time for realism in education has arrived. The evolution of Germany as an in- dustrial nation of the frst rank has come about virtually in our own day and generation. What were the fac- tors in this evolution The soil of Germany is not naturally rich nor is her coal of the best quality; but her technical schools are. In ‘the mat- ter of cducation for industrial purposes Germany has been ablg to think so- clally and nationally. She learned industrial processes from Great Britain; she borrowed the idea of technical xchools from Irance and Switzerland. On the basis, first of even- ing drawing schools, she built up her education of the artisan. Noksaban- doning the system of apprentifieship, she met new conditions by in ng the training cffered by the state as the training offered in the trades de- creased. Today it may be said that throughout the lensth and breadth of the German cmpire the state offers all the technical -instruction supplement- ary to the trade, needed ‘in all voca- tions—whether it is the design of the stained glass worker, the chemistry of the dyer, the bookkeeping (business practice) of the shoemaker, the French of the hotel waiter. Every apprentice, boy or girl, from 14 years of age, is in state-directed schools for from six to eleven hours a week throughout the vears of his opprenticeship, and his certificates Sourneyman and as master craftsman are issued according to state standards, by the state. A city system of industrial education such as Munich cov the courses suited to 67 trades, while that of Der- lin provides for 223 trades. And th education is not merely technical, includes the bygiene, the civics law that concern every man and as a citizen. As the state looks after the artisan and housekeeper, 5o it provides for the master workman, the foreman, the manager, contractor, the builder, the expert techmiciax, the chemist, the desigrer, the draftsman, the salesman. it and workman as a he Germany has state schools for the ceramlc industries; schools for the higher woodworking industries; for the building trades; for the chemical in- dustries; for the textile industries; for mechanical and engineering trades; for watchmaking, shipbvilding, soap, pa- per, optical instruments, hotel keeping, automobiles, beer. They serve as day schools for experts and part-time or night or Sunday schools for the ap- prentices. Art Industral Education. The provision for art industrial edu- cation is almost as marked as the pro- vision for industrial education. There are 34 art-industrial schools of the first grade. These schools have size and equipment adequate to the im- mense field of art avplicd to industry. We have no building for art-industrial education in all the United States to compare in beauty and éxtent with the Art-Industrial school of Berlin or of Dresden. Academy of Graphic Arts of Leipzic embraces all the trades that center in the production of the printed paper and the book; it has the dignity, the equipment and thor- oughness of our best colleges and schools of engineering. The School of Photography of Munich (Lehr-und Versuchsanstalt fur Photographie, Chemigraphie: Lichtdruck and Gra- vure) rivals the Leipzic school in th thoroughgoing intelligence of its or zation and the completeness of n and equipment of its peculiar fleld. To supplement these schools with demonstration material they have in- dustrial and art-industrial museums like the Deutsches Museum nad Ba- varian National Museum of Munich, museums that every city seeks to pos- sess and enrich, for which money and brains have been spent like water, that are revelations of beauty and interest, the stimulus of the students of the adjacent schools. The ion for commercial edu cation i thor ough aded and or- gayized. And beyond these for the highest training of the engineers and commer- cial experts are the technical univer- sities nnische Hocnschulen) and commercial universities In 40 years, virtually the period of developing technical education in Ger- many, Germany has seen its policy turn a poor country into a rich one, the most powerful of Europe. I asked a German agent for German manufac- tures in London: “To what do vou at- tribute the tromendous industrial de. velopment of Germany “T admit,” I caid, “the temacity, the power of or- ganization and co-operation of the German race. What” 1 asked, there bevond that?” *Technical education.” I questioned here Switzerland, Holland and Belgium, various men in_industrial callings as to the value they attached to technical instruction siven to artisans as well as to industrial experts. They had but one reply: “It s indispensable; our condition without it is unthink- able” Would Start Continuation Schools. Suppose a commission of German or Swiss or French or Dutch schoolmen were appointed to remodel the school system of this state with reference to ndustry. What would they do? First, they would set up thousands of con- tinuation schools for the boys and girls who have left school young and are in commerce and industry. These boys and girls need education at least as much as high school boys and girls. This education would be free, univer- sal and compulsory on employer and employe. It would be an educacion epecialized and varied to every basic trade, s0 as to produce, with the prac- tico of the shops and factories, the trained workman. But it would have the elements of English and hygiens and civics and economics to train the citizen. Second, thev would set up schools for workers of the highest skill, for foremen, managers, for designers for the various industries of the state. This means schools of the special in- dustries. Trade schools are not enoush even if you put the Bridgeport trade His reply was: and there in school, as we might well do, in 40 towns of Connecticut. Manual train- ing high schools are not adequate, even if we put, as we might well do, the New London Manual High school in 30 of the towns of Con- necticut. They would haye technical schools, and great. ones, of the great industries of the state. These schools would teach the arts and sclences and practice of various modern industries. Schools of the ma.- chine industries would rise in Bridge- port and South Norwalk, in New Ha- ven and Stamford. Schools of the metal working industries would go up in Meriden, New Britain, Ansonia, a Training school of watchmaking inm Waterbury, textile schools in South Manchester. Danbury and -Norwich. A school of ceramics and the. clay industries some- where in the valley of the Connecticut river. A school of the building trades, say, in Meriden. A school of marine engineering in New London. A school of railway transportation—well, I think they would put that in New Haven. A school of art and the art industries— they would put that in the most beau- tiful city of the state—we will put that —and make it of national scope—in Hartford. In short, wherever o great industry has been developed or may be developed they would put a school of the industry, working in close co- operation with that industry. Is this scheme of Industrial and art- industrial educatfon a dream? Well, it is the reality and everyday practice in_every progressive nation of Europe. What are we going to do about it? Appeal for Connecticut College. One part of this problem comes close to us today. We are building in tho suburbs of Norwich a college for wom- en, a modern college, aiming to fit women for a full efficient life in mod- ern conditions. Woman's place in the home and in industry has been revolu- tionized like men’s. This city life cre- ates two houses—the individual's and the community's. The msututiors of the larger home—our schools, libra- ries, hospitals, markets, playgrounds, charities, public health—call for train. ed women. Our individual homes in planning, furnishing, operation, call for trained women. Our offices, draft- ing rooms and factories call for train- ed women. Our abandoned farms call for trained women. Wifehood, mother- hood, call for training. It is_women of the right kind that make life worth while to any of us. This new coilege is a challenge to the manhood of Connecticut, a_challengo to the chivalry of deed. Thanks to Morton F. Plant and the citizens of New London, we are endowed for maintnance and nave our first build ings. We have a marvelous start— a superb and spacious site, beautiful architecture, a class of a hundred | freshmen last year, another class of a hundred fresimen this year. But a new class is preparng to_enter next September, still larger. We have no building to house them, not a single vacant room, and no more funds avail- able for bullding. I come hnere today with the hope that this new college has at last found a response in friends who can really help, in the leaders of trade and ir dustry of castern Connecticut. ~You will say, I bieieve, that you owe some thing to womanhood, o moth to wives, to daughters. I can hear you say: “We will show Massachusctts, with jts Smith, Wellesley, Mount Hol. voke, Radcliffe, Simmons, Wheaton; we will show New York with its Vas sar, Elmira, Barnard, Adelphi. Hunter, that a regard for womanhood burns here deep in Connecticut hearts, and that we shall ‘make our one college of womanhood, heautiful, spacious, effi- cient beyond any.” Other Speakers Heard. | Henry A.

In the New London Manual Training school we teach ma- chinists trade_and mechfinical drawing but are unable to do more, sald Pro- fessor Hitchcock. In the girls’ depart. ment we give four years training in home makinz. Of 100 girls taking this course there are 97 who leave the school and are married.
