Excerpt from Types of Schools for Boys
As the social and industrial life of a people becomes more complex, the schools tend to become differentiated and specialized. A nation could not develop very complex activities if all the young were trained in schools organized and conducted in the same way, with just the same course of study. It will be granted that all pupils should receive similar training for substantially the period of the elementary school in our country; but beyond that there must be special courses and types of schools for different social and industrial conditions and needs. And it is as important that appropriate kinds of schools should be provided for different economic and social groups as for various industrial groups. This general principle is apparently recognized in American life, since there is developing among us a variety of types of schools which are designed to give the kind of training which is deemed to be most suitable for the different industrial, economic and social groups.
The purpose of the present volume is to present concrete and detailed information regarding the ideals, the distinguishing traits, and to some extent the achievements of the principal types of schools for boys in this country.
