Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Trade School Early in the year 1907, a problem, which gradually had been growing more and more serious, had to be fairly met and solved. It was a question of finances. To charge students the cost of their tuition in a properly conducted trade school means to debar the very ones who need the instruction. Equally impractical is it to expect a few to bear the expense of a work so valuable to the entire community. The need of such a school was proven the first day it opened its doors. From its outset it was making better workmen and better citizens. It was the opportunity and privilege of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Asso ciation to start such a work in the life of a city, but it was not its bounden duty to continue it. The child grew beyond the power of its parent to support it. Since the work brought a rich harvest to the municipality, the municipat should bear the expense of the sowing. The solution of the problem lay in having the trade school included in the public school system of the city. To do this, a tax, additional to the one already levied for the public schools, was necessary. This extra assessment could be collected only by the permission of the state legislature. Con sequently, a bill was prepared and presented to that body early in 1907. It met with immediate indorsement in both Assembly and Senate. It passed and became effective July 1, 1907. The Milwaukee Board of School Directors immediately seized its Opportunity to take over a trade school well equipped to teach three trades and with one and one-half years' experience in pioneer work. On account of this progressive step on the part of the public-school authorities the original subscribers deeded the entire equipment of the school to the city in fee simple.

Find a way (i) to improve the worker, physically, mentally, morally, and financially; (2) to better the con ditions of labor in the workroom; (3) to raise the character of the industries and the conditions of the homes, and (4) to show that such education could be practically undertaken by public instruction. The four aims are really one, for the better workers should improve the product, make higher wages, react advan tageously on the industrial situation and on the home, and the course of instruction formulated to accomplish this end would help in the further introduction of such training.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address on Technical Education and Industrial Drawing Prof. Walter Smith, State director of art education in Massachusetts, then read the following paper: Mr. President, ladies, and gentlemen: The subject upon which I have to address you to-day is that of "Technical education and industrial drawing," a subject which is comprehensive enough to afford interest to the general public, while it is at present the best discussed theme among professional educators. I am aware that this whole matter is neither new nor strange in Washington, for from the Bureau of Education in this city has emanated much of the most valuable information we possess concerning it; and the lecture, recently published, by General Bimey, delivered by him before the Washington Art Club, upon a phase of the subject described as "Industrial and decorative art," is perhaps the fullest and fairest presentation of this matter that has appeared on this side of the Atlantic. Though I hardly expect to present to you much that is new, I may possibly cooperate with you in the diffusion of some new light on an old subject; hoping that thereby additional interest may be awakened, and that in consequence serious consideration may be given to this question, one which has assumed an importance that may be fairly described as national in its character. It may at first sight be considered an overestimate of the matterJif it should be asserted that upon the technical knowledge and skill possessed by a nation depend its safety, its wealth, and indirectly its happiness; yet this is undoubtedly true. It may also be stated that any scheme of education which does not from the first make provision for the gradual acquirement of such technical knowledge and skill, at such times and in such ways as the ages and circumstances of the pupils necessitate, is insufficient and not practical, and in dire need of complete reorganization. Yet that happens to be the case with every scheme of public education administered by city or State authorities in the United States of America to-day. I could have made that statement in many more words, and so have beclouded its meaning that you would not be shocked by it; or I might have quoted some one else who said it, and thus have shielded myself from the responsibility of saying it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education in Albany: An Opportunity and a Business If the preference is for private or parochial training, then the opportunity is equally complete. The Catholic schools offer the same well-rounded courses beginning with the kindergarten, extending through the grades, with four high schools for boys and girls and two colleges for girls. There are also private tuitionary schools for boys and for girls that take young children through the grades and prepare for college. In addition to the regular academic institutions there are schools for those requiring special consideration. In the public schools special classes are provided for those mentally retarded, for the anemic, tuberculous and deaf and for those of poor vision. A vocational school furnishes a two year course for boys and girls who prefer to prepare for a trade rather than for a more advanced academic training, and a continuation school cares for one thousand working girls and boys by giving them the type of educa tion for which they are best fitted, mechanical, commercial or domestic arts. Evening schools last year registered over 2150 pupils. They offer courses ranging all the way from first English for the foreigners who wish to learn our language, through the several grades to advanced work.

Book excerpt: 'The best business book I've ever read.' Bill Gates, Wall Street Journal 'The Michael Lewis of his day.' New York Times What do the $350 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals at General Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety. These notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened. Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance. John Brooks's insightful reportage is so full of personality and critical detail that whether he is looking at the astounding market crash of 1962, the collapse of a well-known brokerage firm, or the bold attempt by American bankers to save the British pound, one gets the sense that history really does repeat itself. This business classic written by longtime New Yorker contributor John Brooks is an insightful and engaging look into corporate and financial life in America.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gary Public Schools: Science Teaching In the last few years both laymen and professional educators have engaged in a lively controversy as to the merits and defects, advantages and disadvantages of what has come to be called the Gary idea or the Gary plan. The rapidly increasing literature bearing on the subject is, however, deficient in details and too often partisan in tone. The present study was undertaken by the General Education Board at the request of the Gary school authorities for the purpose of presenting an accurate and comprehensive account of the Gary schools in their significant aspects. In the several volumes in which the main features of the Gary schools are separately considered, the reader will observe that, after presenting facts, each of the authors discusses or - in technical phrase - attempts to evaluate the Gary plan from the angle of his particular interest Facts were gathered in a patient, painstaking, and objective fashion; and those who want facts, and facts only, will, it is believed, find them in the descriptive and statistical portions of the respective studies.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Schools and Women in Office Service The report of the Commission on National Aid to Vocational Education, published June 1, 1914, recommends that more definite studies be made to supply information which may be used in the training of commercial workers. The report points out that there is a surprising lack of information respecting commercial conditions affecting commercial education. It is, perhaps, strange that an enterprise like commercial education which has been so largely undertaken in our public schools should possess so meager a basis of concrete evidence for established procedure. Our organized information upon commercial education has been limited to statistics regarding number of pupils, teachers, schools and appropriations. The report above-mentioned states that we need information concerning other and more important matters, such as supply and demand for trained commercial workers, distribution, selection and placement, and the changing conditions of commerce and their consequent effects upon commercial education. During the past year three important investigations have been undertaken in and about Boston with the purpose of securing this much needed fact basis for commercial education, and this report presents the results of one of these studies. The other two investigations were conducted respectively by the Committee on Education of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, and by a Committee of Commercial Teachers representing the Massachusetts State Board of Education. No reports have yet been published as the result of these latter investigations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Economy: For the United States It will be seen that the author of this work has had to confront authorities of no mean consideration - authorities which, strange as it may seem, have occupied the theatre of debate on the leading topic of these pages, for nearly a century, without ever having been encountered, face to face, in their main positions. It has been claimed for them, that they could not be answered; that they had settled the question; and that, henceforth, time only was required to establish the universal triumph of Free Trade. Though facts, in abundance, had been arrayed against these pretensions, nevertheless they seemed still to command attention and respect. The doctrine of Free Trade had taken up the position, and asserted the prerogatives, of a science, composed, in all that belonged to it properly, of uniform propositions in all places, and in all time; from the deductions of which, conceding the claim, there was no appeal. But its claim to be ranked among the sciences, was a stolen shield. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
