Most college graduates can not draw, sing, ride, row, play a musical instrument, or use well a scythe, saw, plane, test tube, theodolite, compass, or microscope. The remedy. Every school program in the United States should pro- vide at once for the acquisition by every pupil of some kind of ocular and manual skill. There is no such general provision or expectation now, but the lesson which the war so plainly teaches must not be lost on any of the authorities that control or influence the progra...ms of elementary and secondary schools. The demands of the Navy and Army illustrate this need, but the demands of the industries of the country are not less urgent. It is not to be expected or desired that all pupils should acquire the same sort of skill. On the con- trary, variety among the pupils is highly desirable, but it is indis- pensable that every pupil should acquire some skill. Every girl should learn to sew and to cook, and every boy should learn, when he is strong enough, to use the tools of the carpenter, a mason, and a plumber.
