Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Industrial Education: Report of the Committee on Industrial Education, H. E Miles, Chairman, at the Twenty-First Annual Convention of the National Association of Manufacturers, New York City, May 15, 1916 "What you would find in a people, yon must first put into its schools." - Humboldt. "The nation that has the schools has the trade." - Bismarck. When asked, 3,000 years ago, "What shall we teach the youth?" a Spartan king replied, "Teach them what they will do when they are men." The school year just ending has been fraught with much of interest in the furtherance of vocational education. Widespread consideration has developed a common judgment. No longer is there fear that these schools, under public and practical direction, will be inconsiderate of spiritual values. A mechanic will not be injured spiritually or socially by training that makes him a better mechanic. He might be injured in many ways by vocational training that failed to meet his occupational needs. The members of a vocational school board need not be any less cultural, patriotic or wisely idealistic because each has had a lifelong experience in manufacturing or commerce. A board without such experience cannot succeed because "They know not what they do." A Representative Control The study of the Smith-Hughes bill for Federal Aid for Vocational Education has brought all the organizations to which Congress will quickest look, to insist upon this representative and co-operative control and direction, including the Chamber of Commerce of the U. S. A., the Division of Superintendents of the National Education Association, the American Federation of Labor, the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, the American Home Economics Association, the International Association of Master Painters and Decorators and the National Association of Manufacturers. It is a satisfaction to know that our organization was the first to advance this principle of representative control as of prime necessity, proven so by generations of experience in the foremost industrial nations of the world, largely productive of German efficiency, and of the spirit, happiness and the wealth of Republican France, of Belgium and of Holland, Denmark and Austria.
