EDUCATORS EXCHANGE IDEAS
(Concluded from first page)
realize what the future may bring forth. The pendulum is now swinging in the direction of commercialism, and there is much attention given in educational matters to the idea of learning what may be utilized. Possibly too great emphasis may be given to this temporarily, but the pendulum will return—the conflict now somewhat apparent between classical and manual training will right itself in time, and to each will be given due consideration in the final adjustment. In manual training there was slow progress for many centuries, but this only indicates the necessity for the rapid progress of recent years. It is a long stride from the pioneer of manual training, Pestalozzi, to the modern school, yet the present is similar in principle and method to his and is the harvest of seed sown in his early efforts. Conditions have made this the most popular kind of school at present. Once it was thought to be an accident if a well educated man should gain business success, but now it is regarded as accidental if a man gain success in business without the equipment of education or special training for his work. We are giving more attention to individual and scientific training than ever before. Our system is not entirely original in this respect, but is an adaptation of features applied for many years and with pronounced success in the schools of Germany. And it must be said that in our country the schools have not led the way in this work, but rather have been forced to take it up by the insistent demand for such training. The ordinary course of the public schools did not work and to build another character, while the high school has at no time seriously crowded, indicating preference for education includes training for them as for the mind.

Our system is not entirely original in this respect, but is an adaptation of features applied for many years and with pronounced success in the schools of Germany. And it must be said that in our country the schools have not led the way in this work, but rather have been forced to take it up by the insistent demand for such training. The ordinary course of the public schools did not furnish what was required. Factories and corporations found it necessary to establish their own training schools, where young people might be prepared for employment in their establishments in connection with such general education as would be necessary and useful in the life they must live. Such training is being given in many of our cities by the industrial works in which large numbers are employed, on the company's time and at its expense, and they have found it profitable to do this. Its value has been so clearly established, and the demand for such training has become so emphatic that provision for it in our public school system is beeing forced by public sentiment. There has been in recent years a remarkable growth of this character of schools in our country. Conditions do not justify the fear which some express that industrial education is going to supersede or supplant the classical, but these schools are meeting an insistent public demand and are the best patronized and most popular at the present time. The two should go side by side, and pupils given an opportunity to choose that which meets their needs or preference. Such institutions are already included in the public school systems of Washington, D.C., Boston, New York, Philadelphia and many other large cities. In San Francisco are located the California school of mechanical arts and the Wilmerding school of industrial arts. Throop institute at Pasadena is planning for a school of this character which will be surpassed by none anywhere. Los Angeles polytechnic school has many applicants for enrollment who cannot be accommodated for lack of room and from the school by special ment at public expense, cost of transportation bacce of 15 cents per pail. Trustees have authority on the formation of secret tong the pupils. Health ment exercises may be beginners may not enter except at first of term. Trustees are to make tracts for such books as the course of study and list of such books to the perintendent. After such change shall be made if used in the high school a regular adoption and one publisher for a period of four years. This law is irregular and unauthorized teachers may not require pupils to purchase books on the official list. To high school pupils who side of any high school made a county charge, a meet such expense will be on the territory in each city is not in any high school Instead of the present plan high school will havetees to be chosen at larger one for each district mean the election of an board of trustees for each next year.

the school by special arrangement public expense, provided the information of secret societies amateur pupils. Health and development exercises may be established. Owners may not enter school except first of term. High schools are to make written conventions of study and certify such books to the county superior. After such action no shall be made in any book on the high school except by similar adoption and contract with owners for a period of at least years. This law will prevent unfair and unauthorized changes, as may not require their purchase books that are not official list. Tuition for school pupils who reside out of any high school district is a county charge, and a tax to such expense will be levied up territory in each county that is in any high school district. Of the present plan, each high school will have five trustees chosen at large instead of four each district. This will be the election of an entire new trustees for each highschool year.
Closing address was an able need of agricultural trainers the public schools, by C. W. Jason of Gardena. Heretofore, schools of all the world have the boy to turn his back on him. "What is your boy going to be? is a question we hear everytime being taken for granted Johnny, who is a bright fellow, seek his life work in the pro- or in business activity, while boy can stay on the farm. Not hear the suggestion oftenthe bright boy may be anything else but that. This as it should be, but if we seem to stay between the plow the home on the farm must be better than it used to be, there is in this day no reason should not have homes.

ten miles in the country as in the city. We need and want educated men on the farm as well as in the city life—men with scientific knowledge which may be applied to the improvement of present conditions. This is one of the most vital subjects to the people of America and the world. If the farms should all be abandoned and no more crops grown of grain and food supplies, what could science and money do then? Food is the first necessity, and we must get it from the land. By the application of intelligent plans and scientific knowledge, the land now cultivated may be made to produce four or five times as much as at present. We appeal to the teachers, to grasp the spirit of this idea. Tell the boys and girls that the best place for them is at home on the farm. If we are going to get a greater supply of food products from the same land, which is a practical necessity from present conditions, then we must have the younger men who have learned better methods. Begin with the little fellow and teach from the beginning how plants grow and why; methods of cultivation and let him learn how to make his father's farm produce more than it has ever done heretofore.

It is good for him. It is not a question only of tilling the ground, however. There are important problems of water supply, transportation, methods of care and cultivation which will furnish occupation for the brightest minds, and farm life furnishes the best opportunities for both boy and girl, free from the snares and evil associations which are apt to befall them in the city. There is opportunity in farm management for application of the trained intellect, the highest learning, to the solution of difficult problems. Let the boy endeavor to secure the best education to be obtained, but if he shows any disposition to become a good farmer, encourage him to study agriculture and stay on the farm.

that are enemies. There is not need of better information than possessed by the average individual in regard to these things. They would learn to protect the birds, the bees and snakes which are friends, they destroy many other animals and insects which are injurious. Don't eat the birds and snakes, for they are the best friends of the farmer.
The farm is worthy of the boy who has highest character, keenest instinct, and scientific training. The life is rapidly coming when conditions will require and the nations of earth will demand that the soil be a hundred fold of its present structure. When we do that, we can enter our children together and them to say and to sing,
