Excerpt from Technical Education: What It Is and What American Public Schools Should Teach
The education required by a people is not a fixed quantity. That which is adequate for one generation or for one locality is not, necessarily, adequate for another generation or for another locality. It may be said, in general, that the education of a people should always conform to their necessities; that, as the conditions of life change, the education of a people should undergo a corresponding change: it may be one of degree or of character, or it may be a change involving both. The present is a time when those who have the shaping of popular education in America should consider anew the practical application of this simple truth.
