Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Why Federal Aid for Vocational Education?
The Welfare of Our Workers is at Stake. The-american workingman is today the most intelligent in the world, but he lacks training. When he has the preparation, such as Germany gives her workers, he is easily the most skilful, most productive, most resourceful. There are twenty million children in the schools of the country who will be the wage-worker's of tomor row. Every year two million of these leave the schools not only without proper vocational direction and education, but, in a large majority of cases, without the general education which our day holds to be necessary to intelligent citizenship as'well as efficient workmanship. Vocational education extends general education, and prepares for the proper discharge of civic duties while fitting the youth to work well.
