DEAN FORDYCE AT CONVOCATION Said That Secondary 8choolB Have Existed Solely to Prepare for College. IS AGAINST hADlCAL CHANGE Dean Fordyce of the Teachers Col lege made a plea this morning at con vocation for the Introduction of vo cational training In the public schools. Ho said that tho secondary schools have existed mainly to prepare Btu dents for college entrance and for professional life while nino-tenths of those enrolled never reach college; the great majority being driven by economic conditions into commercial and industrial life for which they aro not equipped. He showed that tho Introduction of machinery and tho extreme tendencies of specialization mako It impossible for our youth to learn tho crafts and trades by apprenticeship as in former days. This makes it imperative that the school shall furnish this training. The speaker stated that 50 per cent of the skilled workmen In our fac tories and a much larger per cent of the foremen are foreign trained. Be cause of lack of preparation our boys and girls are compelled to enter tho humblest places in the ranks of toll. The speaker claimed that there Is but one solution of the difficulty that of France and Germany; it Is tho two-course plan for our high schools; one looking toward tho uni versity and the learned professions, tho other toward tho craftB and trades; one in which tho college preparatory ideal predominates, tho other tho vocational. The most democratic plan on which to proceod 1b to provldo each child with such training us will enable him to make the most of such talent and time as he has. In conclusion ho referred to tho danger coming from the enthusiasm exhibited by tho apostleB of the new doctrine; for Just as secondary edu cation has been up to tho present dominated by tho cultural Idea, there Is now danger that tho practical may be over-emphasized. It Is as great a mistake to produce men with a vca tlon without an education as it has been In the past to produce men with an education without a vocation.
