Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Study of the Boston Mechanic Arts High School, 1915: Being a Report to the Boston School Committee 1. Reasons for the report. - This report presents the results of a study of the Mechanic Arts High School undertaken at the request of the Boston School Committee. Its aim has been to determine to what extent the school is effectively performing in the school system the purpose intended by the committee of preparing boys for advantageous entrance to industry on the business and directive side. With the wisdom of that purpose this report has nothing to do. Owing largely to the rapid development of industrial education in Massachusetts during the past few years and a changing conception of the purpose and place of manual training, the aim of the Mechanic Arts High School has of late frequently been called in question and several investigations have been made with a view to determining just what kind of service the school ought to render the city of Boston and how that service can best be performed. The first of these studies was made by Mr. Arthur L. Williston, director of Wentworth Institute, and the second by the business men´s advisory committee for the school, consisting of Messrs. Fish, Alexander, Burton, Lindall, Green, Ziegler, Russell, and Kaven. The findings and recommendations of this present report are compared with those of the two previous studies. 2. Scope of the report. - This report is concerned with these two questions: (1) How far is the school now effectively accomplishing the purpose of the school committee, and (2) what changes, if any, should be made in the work of the school in order that it may better accomplish this purpose.
