SCHOOLS FOR INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY
It is estimated more than 27,000,000 boys and girls are attending public schools at an expenditure of $2,000,000,000 from the taxpayers to operate schools and school property valued at $5,000,000,000. What about a more contented, useful, and practical result in the way of the citizenship product of these schools?
One great hopeful outlook for better results lies in the line of industrial training.
In the San Mateo-Burlingame Union High School District of California as high as 62 per cent of the boys are learning trades and occupations necessary to the life of the community.
Without interfering with regular studies, boys in the industrial department are earning 30, 40 and 50 cents an hour.
Many farming districts have courses where boys study farm machinery and erection of farm buildings—all such undertakings spell a new era in industrial education.
