Excerpt from The Utility of All Kinds of Higher Schooling
Part one of this book was published first in 1902, and so much interest was shown in the original edition that a second printing was needed in 1903 - this edition giving results of my further investigations as to the utility of an academic or classical education for young men who have to earn their own living, and who expect to pursue a commercial or industrial career.
As my position on this subject seemed to meet with general endorsement, and long experience and observation had given me the impression that the value of nearly all other branches of higher education was greatly overestimated, I concluded to go into a general investigation of the subject, in order to ascertain just what the facts are, and have investigated and studied the following:
Technical Education in Manufacturing.
Technical Education in Civil Engineering.
Technical Education in Electrical Engineering.
Agricultural Colleges.
Manual Training in the High Schools.
Business Education.
Medical Education.
Scientific Education.
Rural Schools.
The results of these investigations are now added to the third edition of part one, as part two of the present book.
