Excerpt from Self-Culture Through the Vocation
There Is to-day a nation-wide awakening to the need of vocational education. We have come to see that if education is to equip adequately for happy and helpful life, it must prepare every individual to take hold somewhere, in work that is worth while, and make an effective contribution. There is no more pathetic spectacle than the cultivated ne'er-do-well - the man of fine appreciation and liberalized spirit, who is unable to do any one thing effectively; and so drifts through life, his refined sensibilities perpetually tortured by economic failure. Education fails if it does not do everything possible to avoid such tragedy.
