Book excerpt: Excerpt from Examples of Industrial Education It is not to be doubted that we are in the midst of a complex and gigantic movement, somewhat indefinite and indistinct as to its direction and its ultimate results, but certainly involving great social and industrial changes and promising universal betterment. The forces which are bringing about these changes seem to be dominated by the desire to secure for the less prosperous members of society a larger measure of comfort and happiness and a more abundant life. There is probably no single agency which has had so many demands made upon it to help in the solution of the problems which this great movement is presenting as has the public school, and the response which it has made to the demands should be a matter of pride to those who believe in the great mission of this most important of democratic institutions. It must be admitted, however, that, in the securing of a fair opportunity for all to attain reasonable happiness; in the necessary reduction of poverty, unemployment, and delinquency; and in the promotion of individual efficiency and social solidarity, the schools have only a fractional part of the responsibility. To reach the results for which the promoters of industrial education are so enthusiastically working, society must cooperate in securing the enactment and the adequate enforcement of wise child-labor and school-attendance laws, and the improvement of working conditions in general.
