The vocational school idea is idly taking root in America. phase of educational work has with great success in England aad Germany. Amerienrs oduentors, not slow to copy any good idea, are rap idl; opening experimental classes in large cities. Yorational schoo! its infancy in America aver 400,000 inhabitants, with a school registration of about 95.000 and average daily attendnce of some O00) pupils, vecont'y selected 4 class of BO boys to compose the first voestion al "department in the mwmicepaity's educational systern.

It is teaching him that the mere technical information without the practical ekperience is no vd, and it is teaching the other fel- low the reasons for the things he does. It is making him an intelligent citizen wa well as a handy workman, wre picked from the loafer clement. I mean by this bovs who come from low-down families--boys whose fythers and moth- "rs amount to nothing, and boys whose every environment is. detrimental. Thesa boys come to school heeause the compulsory educational law requires a certain antount of attendance, They study becanse they have to, but they , take no interest in their work and * their free hours are devoted to hang ing around street corners. These boys Jack all initiation and ambition. 1 Toft to themselves the effects of their education would cease the monent they loft the schooircom.

Nundreds of graduates from the voca tional school will ta off with a course at the technical high. Then tnere are the regular training classes and domestic science classes, which are the part of every up to-late em jn the Unit ed States to-day. For the girls there arg lessons weeily or semi-weekly in drawing, needlework and cookery, and for the boys work in the diferent erafts, such as wrought iron work and woodwork.
