Page xvi - Several objections to the teaching of trades in the public school may thus be stated : (1) It is impossible for the public school to teach a tithe of its pupils the pursuit or occupation by which they are to earn a living. A glance at the list of occupations given in the report of the census of 1870 will satisfy any one that but very few of the three hundred and thirty-eight occupations therein named can be made a part of the public school course. Of the one hundred and seventy-two occupations classed...

Each individual begins his progress from a higher level, and, with equal exertion, will bequeath a richer inheritance of knowledge and wisdom to his successors.

The training of all the boys to be carpenters and blacksmiths, for example, would be worse than industrial folly. Not a tithe of them could earn a living as hand-tool mechanics. Handicraft is fast disappearing and more and more mechanical work is done by machinery. The coming artisan will be the master of the machine, as has been clearly shown by Professor THOMPSON, of the Technical...
Page 56 - an impulse has been given to society by the education of women ; yet no truly womanly duty has been neglected, nor are women less disposed to accept the cares of domestic life, or yield to the claims of conjugal or maternal affection.
