Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Youth, School, and Vocation It is very doubtful if one can really appreciate the present movement for the vocational guidance of youth, unless he understands its connection with the persistent social philosophy of the American people, and perceives it to be, what in fact it is, another stage in the effort to equalize opportunity for the children of our Commonwealth and to perfect our social efficiency. In a sense the school has always aided a few of its students to find their occupations in the world. The function was crudely though certainly exercised through the selective standards of traditional school life. These selective standards favored those of station and intellect to enter professional life. The whole system of schooling from the primary school through the college was pre-professional. The old-time teacher gave little thought to those who did not register at the school - those who were not prosperous enough to take the leisure and pay the rate, those who were not interested in languages and books and abstract thoughts, those who were so handicapped in body and mind that conventional schooling promised little. Nor was the master greatly concerned about those who made slow pace at school. These were not "smart." What more could the teacher do for them!
