Where is there any proper provision for such an education?
State governments and our National Government have for a number of years been fostering certain branches of industrial education, chiefly in the line of agriculture.
The late report of the Bureau of Education upon industrial education presents a very encouraging summary of what is thus being done under the guidance of the State.

It reports concerning forty-three colleges aided by State grants to give agricultural and mechanical training, besides a large number of technical departments in other colleges, industrial schools, evening classes for such instruction, etc.

Probably the finest example of industrial education that the country possesses is found in the Hampton schools in Virginia.

Of attempts, however, to combine general and intellectual education with practical training and handicrafts we have few examples.

The Hampton schools, already alluded to, present one of the best.
