Book excerpt: Excerpt from Facilities for Industrial Education The Newton, Lowell, and Somerville Independent Industrial Schools, of Massachusetts, are quartered in old schoolhouses which have been remodeled. See Fig. 4. This method of introducing industrial educa tion is good when the community is carrying on a small experiment or beginning in the work. The expense for rent of the factory or issue of bonds at a time when this might be burdensome to the community is avoided. School authorities are able to find out thru this kind of small beginning what should be done on a larger scale with any kind of train ing. An opportunity is given to prove the worth of the work before larger public funds are asked for. Public sentiment is created in favor of the new kind of education and the public becomes accustomed to the presence of the new kind of education and the need of its adequate support by the community. Abandoned schoolhouses, however, are poorly adapted to the work. The lighting is always poor; the rooms are not the right shape and size; the construction of the building is not adapted to the use of machinery; the building does not appeal to the children from any standpoint.
