Washington, D. C. (Special).—The
social and industrial conditions in
the United States demand that in-
dustrial education for rich and poor
alike should be democratized.
This conclusion was reached by
many prominent leaders of working-
men and industrial educators, ad-
dressing the American Federation of
Labor's committee on industrial edu-
cation here. Suggesting that Euro-
pean countries were far ahead of
the United States in the matter of
fitting young girls and boys for a
trade, Charles F. Richards, of New
New York, originator of the National
Soclety for the Promotion of Indus-
trial Education, argued that the
committee should fight for a plan
that should relieve the American
schoolboy of the confusing plight of
not knowing what to do when turn-
ed away from the school, He declared
that more than one-fourth of the
boys left the public schools in New
York before graduation because they
were "sick of it.” This he regarded
as an appalling fact, due to the lack
of industrial training which they
were forced to acquire elsewhere.
In the schools, he sald, there should

fear which he sald existed that trade
schools would flood the labor mark.
