Excerpt from Prevocational Education in the Public Schools
During the past five years considerable interest has been developed in the problem of securing a better adjustment of our educational methods and ideals to the needs of those who, though they form the vast majority of our children, are, for one reason or another, deriving the least benefit from the present school system, and are leaving its care altogether before reaching the age of sixteen or seventeen years.
Such school systems as have done experimental work looking to the solution of this problem are constantly receiving requests for information relating to the purpose of the work, the methods which are being employed, and the results realized or expected.
It is believed that school administrators and schoolteachers in general will find something of interest and value in the information presented in this volume regarding one important branch of this experimental work, namely prevocational education.
For the purpose of collecting and of organizing such information the University of Chicago has conducted, during the past three years, an experimental industrial class. Instruction both in shopwork and in the book subjects has been given very largely by graduate students in the Department of Education, mature men and women sincerely interested in the larger aspects of the problem presented.
