Educational meeting December 8, 1910

A meeting will be held in the auditorium of the Engineers´ Building, New York City, December 8, 1910, by the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, with the coöperation of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Institute of Mining Engineers. The subject of the evening will be “Industrial Continuation Schools of Munich,” by Dr. Georg Kerschensteiner, Superintendent of Schools, Munich, Bavaria. Dr. Kerschensteiner has been for many years at the head of the progressive movement in Germany for more practical industrial education, and is responsible for the development of the part-time schools in Munich that are attended by all apprentices and other boys and girls at work between 14 and 18 years of age. The keynote of Dr. Kerschensteiner´s theory of industrial education is coöperation between the employer and the public school system. This is the basis upon which is founded the successful system of schools for every important industry in Munich. The address will be illustrated by lantern views of the Munich schools and classes.
