Addressing the Indiana State Asso ciation ot Dltnd People at a banquet at the Indiana School for the Illlnd, James F. McElroy of Albany, N.

He said that industrial training will keep pupils in school when threats of parents and officers of tho law fall. The banquet marked the end of the sixth biennial association meeting. .Mr. McElroy said that statistics proved that students giving ono-hnlf their timo to Industrial training did better work In literary and mathematical courses. He said tho school had a mission to fulfill In equipping boys and girls with a foundation of industrial education, and nsserted that schools which fall to accomplish that purpose were not fulfilling tho true r.urpose of education. Industrial efficiency has not yet reached Its height, according to Mr. McElroy, who expressed a belief that early industrial training In public schools would Improve tho present status of efficiency In shops. Hoys and young m&a learn their trades in a haphazard way under the old conditions, Mr. McElroy contended, but In receiving elementary public school In dustrial training steadily become finished.
