TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
The following able article in relation to
technical education, by Prof. Butler, of
the Wayne county Normal School, is from
the Pennsylvania School .Journal for
February. We comtnend it to the careful
attention of our readers;
The question as to the benefits to be de
rived from technical education has been
put to our leading masters and men ihany
a time, with always the same result. They
have answered in its fivor and solicited
its general introduction ; the investigat-
ing committees have recorded their an-
swers and there thematter rests. If one
asks what will the State, seeing it is a
•State necessity, be willing to pay for this
education, the general reply is that the
people are neither ready nor willing to
pay for good education. I cannot believe
it. If the people are impressed with the
importance of this education, and they
be told manfully of tbe millions they pay
for ignorance, poverty and crime, and
then tell them the money asked lor tech
nical education was on the express condi
tion that the educations to be provided
for Pennsylvania was to be as thorough,
as universal, and as extensively distribut
ed as the technical education given to the
working artisans and skilled men of the
best educated countries of Europe, I think
that every tax-payer would Rejoice that
the State bad the courage to ask for the
money. But if there be any half meas
ures used, telling tbe people the State
thought of trying some expedients for the
introduction of technical education, and
if it could raise a given sura of money it
would be carefully and judiciously used
in paltry grant to one or two schools not
immediately affecting more than one
twentieth of the tax payers, it would be
on utter failure and excite only the just
and righteous contempt and indignation
of the people whose interests have been
so long trifled with. Tell the people
what they revily pay for prisons and
poor-houses, and ask them if they will
grant a moderate sum for the purpose of
training tbe children of artisans, the in
dustrious, skilled and inventive classes,
whose united lalnrs produce the indus
trial and commercial wealth of Pennsyl
vania, and I verily believe every man
would cheerfully reply, “Yes! the gain is
well worthy the outlay.”
Worth the outlay ! What is the mon
eyed value of a well trained, skillful me
chanic, compared with the muscular man
who understands no craft, handiwork or
art ? The unskilled man can earn for the
State, say $509 a year, the other has an
average salary of $1,009, and with supe
rior skill, $1,533 to $2,039 ; or, taking the
three grade of workmen, we may value
Unskilled men at |5OO a year;
Moderately skilled men at fl,OOO a year •, /
Highly skilled man at fl,OOO to 2,000.
Iq short, the highly skilled workman is
worth at least three times as much as the
unskilled man.
In Pennsylvania we have 800,000 me
chanics and laboring men. Two hundred
thousand of these are highly skilled work
men, 200,000 .'moderately skilled, 400,000
unskilled. By education we can raise
the first class up to the third, and supply
the place of these lower men by others
who have received a little education only,
and we have earned for the Slate $200.-
000,000. To do this would cost us about
$2,000,000. Is it worth the anual outlay
of four millions to gain two hundred mil
lions? “Bat,” says the incredulous roan,
“suppose we grant the money for expen
diture, the result is not immediate ; these
800,000 men cannot be educated in a day ;
and the present outlay is too great for fu
ture benefit.” Is not the eqpenditure
progressive also; can we call training
schools and technical colleges into exist
ence in a day ? No! We neglected this
important, point in education, and we
must expect to endure the penalty, and to
work oar Way slowly, painfully, and to a
certain degree expensively. We cannot
expect to be mWe fortunate than other
nations. , •
*' ♦ *
National prosperity is greatest with
those nations that are best educated. The
prominence of modern nations in arts and
manufacture, together with their conse
quent wealth, is entire ly owing to their
admirable systems of technical education.
In the experience of one of the greatest
writers on capital and labor, within twen
ty five years large branches of commer
cial trade have left one country and plant
ed themselves in others, because the arti
sans of the former were uneducated and
those of the latter were educated. Na
tions have risen into importance knd
power in Europe by education, and by
the order!, Organization and efficiency
which education bestows; and r other na
tions have lagged behind, and lost their
place by reason of their unwillingness to
educate either the higher or the lower
classes of their people. We shall not
reach our highest development untiP our
elementary and classical schools are sup
plemented by schools and colleges for in
struction in the industries on which onr
prosperity so largely depends. We must
have technical education, as well as gym
nastic education. In the latter education,
classics and mathematics are taught as in
strumental merely. Just as the gymnas
tic exercises with pole and bars are to the
body, so are the hexameters and pentame
ters of theclassies.-and the geometrical
lines, and differential and integral calculi
of mathematics to the mind. When-suffi
ciently leaped and climbed they are for
ever put on one side as useless. Out uni
versities, colleges, and schools, are to too
great extent pure gymnasia. As non
lecfanic'.! sch Cols they are admirable, and
the education given adequate, it may be
for men, whose lives are destined to be,
non-technical, but in modern life each
man’s province is nairowing, bis work
harder and more technical, A man must
not only know how to do hard things,
but he must be able to do them ; many
things he must be capable ot doing as
well as any man, and one thing better
than most men. This is the inevitable
condition of the educated man in modern
civilized life. f
This technical education must begin
with the apprenticeship to a trade, and
continue throughout Its whole period in
order to do real good. Apprenticeship
can hardly be said to exist at all in Amer
ica, and it Is this omission, for one thing,
that makes our mechanics only second
hand workmen. There is no necessity
for a boy to be apprenticed to any trade
until he is sixteen. Prom the age of thir
teen to sixteen he should be in the. tech
nical school, learning to become a clever
draughtsman, a fair geometer, a moderate
chemist, a good drawer of plans, a pret
ty good hand at colors, able to handle
tools and implements with moderate skill,
a finely developed, sharp, muscular lad.
It may be said this school work is lost
time to his apprenticeship. I think not.
If be can put on paper any shape he
pleases, can shade and color it according
to art rules, and afterward be able to mo
del and cut what he has drawn ; if he
knows the difference between a poor and
good design; a careful and a wasteful
way of doing things—and these he will
learn in the technical school, and never in
the workshop—is he not going to make a
better mechanic for this preliminary drill?
Experience says, Yes! and it says some
thing else besides, that because his school
ing should be continued with his appren
ticeship, ho should work short hortn % and
it should be understood that his atten
dance at school should be a part of his in
denture. Tflia is the only way to ensure
good and skillful workmen.
It is sometimes the case that a nation
once established in the scale of nations,
ceases to lie anxious as to her welfare, but
rests on her laurels already won. That
this is in the highest degree unwise all
must acknowledge, and few will even
doubt this eccentricity ever being carried
out in any nation. That this is the case,
startling though the fact is—and a consid
eration of this fact teacher us a lesson we
cannot afford to despise—let us look at the
educational history of England, The
British people regarded themselves with
satisfaction as “mistress of the
seas, ths first nation am >ng nations, as
the most skilled, accomplished and suc
cessful manufacturing people in the wide,
wide world. For fifty years England en-’
joyed the fruits of the inventions of a few
men of genius who had created the whole
system of modern manufacturing machin
ery, and In England was stored the wealth
of countless centuries in the shape of coa 1
and iron. Thns provided with raw mate
rial they fondly dreamed they were in
every way superior in intelligence and
civilization to the uncoaled, un-ironed
and un-engineering nations around them.
For half a century they dreamed thus, and
English iron, coal and machinery bore the
highest reputation in the world. But
they were lethargic, and in 1851 the wise
Prince Consort had to awa ken them by
the famous “Universal Exhibition of the
Industries of all nations.” It was in that
great school that the civilized nations of
Europe received their first lesson in tech
nical education; England saw her strong
holds and those of other nations repre
sented ; the foreign nations, too, saw and
learnt a lesson, and sime cases were hu
miliated by what they deemed the heredi
tary excellence of England; but England
was not humiliated by the competition,
for the very genius of Paxton, the design
er of the Crystal Palace, was sufficient to
establish the skill and manufacturing in
dustry of the nation.
The second lesson was the Parish Ex
hibition of 1853. “Resting on her lau
rels,” and stepping into the competitive
arena with dignified assurance, England
presented her specimens to astonish the
World. But was she as successful as in
1851 ? No! for other nations bad made
rapid strides, having leamt their lesson in
London, and England, the invincible,
stood amazed at the chances of a sudden
downfall from her vantage ground in her
vast manufactures. Had it not been for
Prince Albert—the author of these inter
national lessons—England must have
yielded the palm to some continental na
tion; but he, like a wise prince, seeing
England’s weak point was in the want of
art culture, had established schools in
1855, and now, through equalled in many
points, she stood far ahead in potteries
and glassworks. The French and the
Germans had increased their constructive
skill. They were discriminating enough
4o see that in mere raw material and mere
mechanical power competition with Eng
land was hopeless. What did they do?
They bought their raw material of Eng
land and nsed higher science in the treat
ment and application of mechanical
power, and in 1855 both the French and
the Germans had established schools in
every metropolis, large town and centre
of industry for educating professional
men and masters, for training foremen
and skilled workmen, and for educating
apprentices. Adam Smith’s views of the
wealth of nations bad had its competive
examination, and Europe was rapidly ad
vancing to the goal. England, however,
not yet thoroughly humiliated, depised
her rivals ; and not until the year 1862,
at the third Great Exhibition, did she
come to her senses. Then all was a failure.
THE RADICAL
The Crystal Palace of 185 i that had
delighted the competing natiqa with its
vast magnificence, was snpcqded by a
hideous unsightly building hat spoke
volumes on the decay of art i/England.
Bad as the outside was, there wk nothing
in the interior on England's site that at
all redeemed the prestige sq plumed
herself on. There was Swifze and with
her aniline colors ; Prussia was lere with
her huge ingots of Krupp’a stet/jand our
own America astonished the Europeans
with her machinery lor ecou nizing la
bor. Italy was born again, am took the
palm with her, Etruscan gold Jdecorated
glass, and classic earlhware. trance ex
hibited with just pride the statry steam
engines of her navy and mercac ile mar
ine; and all around the Exhibion were
abundant proofs that England, bat bad
ten years ago led the world in isnn fac
tored, had been successfully rivalled in
her great specialities, and ’to result
was that England of 1851 and; England
of 1803 present remarkably coltrasting
features* The England of 1863 jras dis
gusted, and this was her first whole symp
tom. The alarming descent 1867
in Paris. Then she was not onlj equall
ed, but beaten, and to-day she ni longer
commands the markets. Now ar<U a cry
in the length and breadth of the land
masters calling for more skilled ptisans,
artisans calling for and demanding a more
practical education. Technical 'schools
they had,but these did not reach tie mass
es, The workmen demanded of tile go v
ernment the protection they needjd—not
by tariff, but by education. The legisla
tors saw the evil, sent out committees of
inquiry to all the nations in Europe, and
discovered the secret of their success—
technical education. At once they jpplied
the remedy, and now the govetoment
schools of design, which are established
in every town 0f.6,000 inhabitants,jind in
a great many of less population, arf show
ing most beneficial results—indecll they
have been successful and increased facil
ities are called for, and every} school
teacher must go through a coijrse of
traing in one of the schools of desbn. As
Prof. Chapman, of the National Academy
of Design, says : !
“This spirit of independence tjoes not
yet pervade all our workshops; when
that is the case we shall cease to lie a col
ony of Europe in art matters, borrowing
and imitating, but producing nothing
new.” !
Whether such a system of national
technical education can be deviled as
shall render this great service (o our
wants is the question I shall next discuss;
for, strange though it is, many be
lieve that Americans are born with a mys
terious innate technical ability which
renders a special training altogether un
necessary. These people fondly imagine
-that an average American needs nut to
be thrown into a workshop, an office, or
a manufactory, rough and unprepared, in
order’to come out a cunning craftsman of
unquestioned skill, an accomplished mer
chant, and a consummate mechanician. If
this heaven-born training be a fact, we
have only to let the rising generation
alone, and hug ourselves, as the English
did until 1867, in the belief that Ameri
can supremacy in arts, trade and manu
factures and commerce, is and ever will
be; but as surely as England found her
self disgracefully humiliated for her pre
sumption, so surely shall we awake from
this national hallucination and find that
we have unwisely played into the bands
of foreign countries, who now command
our markets in any branch of manufac
tures we can mention.
A Munificent Gill to Science.
Some time since Professor Agassiz in
an address before the Legislature of Mas
sachusetts called the attention of that
body to the need and value of a summer
school for the instruction of both teachers
and students in natural history. -He also
suggested that, during the coming sum
mer, a session should be held on the is
land of Nantucket. These remarks at
tracted the attention of M t John Ander
son, a wealthy and well known tobacco
merchant of this city, who, with great
munificence has donated an entire island
for the purpose of the institution, sup
plementing bis gift with a fund ol $50,-
000. The island, which bears the name
of Penikese, is of about one hundred
acres in extent and is situated in the
Elizabeth group, at the entrance of 'Buz
zard’s bay, on the Southern coast of
Massachusetts. It has been largely im
proved, and contains several buildings
valued at $lOO,OOO, while the fertility of
its soil is such as to render it posssible to
raise sufficient produce to pay all expenses
of the school.
Professor Agassiz considers that the
site is eminently suited for the purpose
as affording ample opportunity for orig
inal investigation as well as well as in
struction. The institution will be carried
on throughout the year, in connection
with the museum of . Cambridge, and
measures will be speedily taken to pre
pare the buildings for use.— Scientific
American.
The press of the interior is very gener
ally discussing, the importance of local
industries. Thus, The St. Paul (Minn.)
Peoneer says: “If we would have our city
sustained and constantly growing in
wealth and population, it is not by for
eign commerce, but by home trade, and
the patronage of our own mechanics and
manufactories that it must be done. Shall
we give immediate attention to this sub
ject, or shall we neglect one of our most
important interests?”
