New Ashland High School Promotes Industrial Work
T . (CnUert Prw letted Wire.)
New York, March J8. "What shall b
done for the maw ot ouf children whose
parents cannot afford to keep tbem' In
school, and for those Industries which
. claim that they must have these chtl-
orn or so. to tha wall?' ,
This Is tha problem which a clear
eyed, thought ul, look ahead teacher has
et himself to solve. He Is Arthur D.
lan. chief of tha division of vocational
schools of the. education department of
New York state. Dr. Dean believes
that the time has corn to meet this all
important question squarely.
"I would amend, develop and extend
jthe present comnulsory education law"

iuouHines umess . meir employer is
ready and willing to cooperate with
tha school system so that pupils may
attend tha day school for a few hours
each week, where they may receive fur
ther Instruction In reading, arithmetic
and citizenship, as well as vocational
training." . , .; , f

week eueh work as retates directly to
their vocation. Schools that shall do
this work he oalls "cooperative or con
tinuation schools." . i, . t
"The schools or yesterday," says Dr.
Dean, ''trained the boys andglrls for
a Job; the schools of today are begin,
nlng to train them for a vocation; the
schools of tomorrow will, not only train
youth to get the best possible job, but
will make provision for them to con
tinue the. educative process In, the
tomorrow the state will have the right
to say to the employer: 'This boy Is
still In his teens. He needs to grow
mentally and physically. His present
work ,1s confining and narrowing. You
want hla services. He needs your
money. We recognise these mutual re
lations. However, still more doe the
state need him as a useful and effi
cient cltlgen. For this reason we re
quire you to release him from hie work
and allow him to attend a part-time
school In order that he may expand. .
Children Should team Tlrsi.
"In the Ideal condition," asserts Dr.
Dean, "no child should be allowed to
go to work until he has the elements of
a fundamental education and' soma
knowledge acquired by training and
school experience In the vocation he
enters. At present the state says that
a youth may go to work at 14 years of
age If he can read, write and figure.
It does not ask what he is going Into,
now long ne is going to stay at It,
what h knows about the vocation he
enters or what preparation he has bad
for It. Competition tor Aally bread
drives immature youth Into the labor
market. Eyes are fixed on the necessi
ties of the moment and the dollar sign
Is foremost Few havs the good for
tune to get into the store or shop which
offers means for-aelf-development In
dustry is asserted to require . young
people who shall perform the same ma
nipulation day after day.
"But Industry Is not the aim of hu
man society. The aim of society la the
increase of human wealth. If industry
continues recklessly to disregard this
aim it becomes a danger not only for
the state, but also In the end for itself.
The alms of Industry and of the state
sometimes appear to be antagonistic.
They are not really so. The former
profits by the use of economic forces,
the latter should profit by the develop
ment of moral and Intellectual- forces."
It is Dr. Dean's confident prediction
that "within five years provision will
be -made in New York state for Such
continuation schools." He stands
squarely on the proposition that the
state should exercise the same right to
oversee th mental conditions under
which immature children work, and to
supply cooperative measures for their
benefit as well as for the benefit of the
euipiuyer as ii now exercises over
hours of labor, factory sanitation and
tha use of dangerous machinery. The
vocational school has pointed oat the
way for still further development and
employers can well afford to aid the
forward movement. The atate has use
for her cltlxens for all time and the
proper spending of the year between
14 and 17 Is worth more to the state
than it is to any Industry. Some good
people would keep children in the pres
ent schools until they are IS. but school
men know that many a child will not
drink at the educational watering
trough. Others would provide prepara
tory industrial training to enlist the
Interest of parents and pupils. This
idea comes near the mark, but does, not
fully meet the situation. ,
Summing it all up, Dr. Dean says:
"In brief, it is proposed that no child
between the ages of 14 and 17 years
Is to be employed In the trades and In
dustries unless the employer Is ready
and willing to allow him to attend for
six hours a week a public day contin
uation school. The . plan would work
comparatively little hardship on the
employer.' He would not be denied the
privilege of employing children between
the ages of 14 and 17. The children
themselves would not be denied the op
portunity of earning money. For the
privilege of employing these children
the employer must make eome sacrifice,
and this sacrifice la for the public
good and In the long run must neces
sarily redound to the benefit 'of all
manufacturing interests."

Had to Be a Confederate Cow,
From the National Magazine.
The first order of General A. J. Smith
on assuming command of the - Union
troops in Missouri, issued from "Head
quarters in the Saddle," was unique,
practical, easily disseminated and faith
fully obeyed. He put It thusr '"Boys,
don't unnecessarily destroy 4 property,
but If you are hungry, don't take any
thing you cannot reach; the guards are
withdrawn,- .,'
It fell to the lot of William 8. Stokes,
a young lad, a member of the famous
Eighth Wisconsin , (Live Eagre regi
ment) to symbolize and exemplify this
order. One morning after its first issue,
as he was returning to camp from picket
duty, he stopped by the wayside and
was milking a cow into his canteen
when he was arrested by a lieutenant
and sent under guard to General Smith's
headquarters. The general, upon recelv
lng s salute from the guard and his
prisoner, sternly asked Stokes what he
had done to be thus humiliated. The
youth modestly stated the facts. The
general asked him how long since he
bad any milk in hla coffee, "Six weeks,"
he said. The general gave him this sen
tence: ,
"Sergeant Stokes, you will report to
your company headquarters for duty,
and if in the near future, while in the
line of duty, you desire milk for your
coffee and discover a cow, first find out
If she la a rebel cow; if so, milk her."
