who do not go to a higher school? Is it right? Do we not owe something to those who cannot afford to go to school beyond the ordinary high school? Is it not oui place to give them something definite along with the present high school cultural education? Should we not train them in some special line of work? Is it not possible for us to give them something that they can use upon leaving high school? I am sure that this can be done without detracting one iota from the present day cultural and mental discipline training. Would it not be a great thing if we could give our boys and girls a lever with which to pry out a college education; a weapon that they could use to make money with, with which to continue their advanced studies? Would it not be wise to give our boys and girls something practical, something that would make them see the true value of the farm and farm life? Would it not be well for us to give our girls a true idea of the actual conditions existing in the home relationships? Would it not make for better homes to train the girls to be intelligent buyers of food stuffs, buyers who will know the economic reason for the buying of food? At the present time we have only one course in our high school which has for its purpose the training of the pupils in some definite line of work. This is the teachers’ training course which was put in this year. The students who take this course are not deprived cf the cultural or mental discipline studies. Could this not be done with other courses? This would not be in the nature of experimental work for these things have been worked out in other places. We must not however deceive ourselves for one moment by thinking that it will be possible for us to go over to the other extreme at once. And would it be best if we could? It must be remembered that it has taken years to work out our present system and so, no doubt, it will be a long time before we can expect to see the altogether practical high school. But is it not time at least to take a step in the right direction? The state of Wisconsin has seen the necessity of vocational tiaining and has created tn industrial committee to further this work. It has even gone further and provided special state aid for industrial schools. But do we want an industrial school? Is it what we need? Are we large enough to maintain it? But there are things we can do. We can take advantage of the large state aid now offered and put in Domestic Science and Agriculture. It is a fact that if these two courses were added to our present course the actual cost of maintaining our schools would be less than it now is. The ddition of these courses would not solve the problem of a practical high school training but it certainly would be a step in the right direction. Do you not think it time to begin to look into the matter? Is it justice to our young people to let things remain as they are? Study the question and see what you think of it. 17 P. F. NEVERMAN.
