PREFATORY NOTE
The presentation of the material assembled in the following pages
is due to the suggestion of the American Association for Labor Legis-
lation, that a classified summary of the existing legislaton relative
to Industrial Education in public elementary and secondary schools,
would be timely in this day of many earnest endeavors to adapt the work
of our educational system both to the modern requirements for individ-
ual efficiency and to the demands of the new industrial order. My im-
mediate aim therefore, has been to make a brief survey of the general
statutory provisions which the various states are employing as instruments
for the cultivation of the common school field to greater industrial pro-
ductiveness.
In general, it may be said that the trend of the development of our
public school system is determined by the mutual reaction of two forces :
first, a static public sentiment which would leave the existing order
undisturbed; second, a progressive consciousness of the new needs of con-
temporary life which constantly endeavors to embody itself in legislation.
A law of itself will not spontaneously develop high standards of educa-
tional efficiency; neither will such efficiency likely come through the un-
stimulated activity of public opinion, as this opinion expresses itself in
the life of local communities. Localities and interests need energizing
through that sort of progressive state legislation which recognizes in
education a state and not merely a local responsibility.
This phenomenon of the action and reaction of legislation and public
opinion is to be observed at the present time to the best advantage in the
recent movements to broaden the scope of typical American schools so as
to include industrial training and education. The very clear purpose of
the industrial education movement as it has come to affect the public
school system, is to give, not that education which the local public senti-
ment of the present generation apparently wants, or is content with, but
that education which the on-coming generation will undoubtedly need.
The work of preparing this material for publication has been accom-
plished under the stress of many other duties. For the careful examin-
ation of the statutes and session laws, and for the verification of the
statutory references, I am placed under indebtedness to the painstaking
efforts of my assistants, Miss Leona Spoor and Miss Jessie Wilcox. It
is not improbable, in view of the conditions of the work and the char-
acter of the sources of information, that omissions and errors may be
discovered. The best that I can hope is that omissions, if any, are unim-
portant, and errors, if presented, are trivial. For any such, I alone am
responsible.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
In the following pages an attempt has been made to present, in
classified form, a brief and concise summary of existing statutory provis-
ions concerning industrial education in public elementary and secondary
schools. The material is presented in four general divisions: (a) gen-
eral law; (b) state aid; (c) special institutions; (d) special industrial sub-
jects. The contents of each division are arranged alphabetically by
states. For each item the appropriate citation to revised laws, general
statutes or compiled statutes, or to session laws is given. In every case,
the enactments of the legislative sessions of 1909 have been included,
thus bringing the summary complete to date.
The limits of space, together with the conditions of preparation, have
made it necessary to omit entirely any consideration of laws of a special
character relating to industrial education. The chief purpose here has
been to display the relation of the standard American school, (which I
have interpreted to mean the elementary and high school grades) to the
industrial situation. Consequently, it has been expedient to exclude
material having to do with industrial education in : —
1. Institutions for higher education, such as colleges, technical
schools and normal schools.
2. Institutions for special classes; dependents, delinquents or defec-
tives.
3. Institutions for supplementary education, such as short courses in
agriculture, farmers' institutes, university extension, etc.
4. Institutions, of whatever grade, under private control although
receiving state subsidies.
5. Institutions owing their origin and deriving their maintenance
through special legislative acts or through general powers conferred upon
local government boards.
With one or two exceptions, the laws of the several states have been
digested and summarized in the briefest form as indicative of the contem-
porary tendency in the movement for industrial training as an integral
part of the state educational program. The text of several recent legis-
lative measures have been included. No attempt has been made to study
the relation of this legislation to the actual status of industrial education.
In passing, though, it may be said that, through private initiative and
philanthropic, public spirited endeavor, we have in this country a much
more extensive scheme of industrial education than would be indicated by
the legislative sanctions of the state; and further, that from the stand-
point of actual realization of the conditions for effective training for in-
dustry, our practice is still far behind our legislation. Were speculation
permitted, it would be to express the opinion that the further develop-
ment of public industrial education is dependent upon state initiative and
state subsidy. The problem of education for industry calls for more
social power than the average American community is able to contribute.
