Authority on Industrial Education to Speak Here.
Mr. Dearborn, of the Industrial Education 00., Indianapolis, was in the city recently to inspect the work being done in sewing and manual training in the local schools. This is the company which has supplied the materials and the instruction pamhlets for the work done along industrial lines in the schools this year. Mr. Dearborn expressed himself as much pleased with what had been done, saying that he saw better work here than some to which the state prize was given this year. Mr. Dearborn also said that the relation of the local schools to the company which he represented would enable them to secure Prof. Leavitt, of the University of cago, for a talk on industrial education. An' effort will be made to bring Prof. Leavitt here, for he is one of the best authorities on industrial education to be found in the United States. The public should keep this announcement in mind and arrange to hear Prof. Leavitt when he comes. Prof. Leavitt is a man with a message.
