Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Commission to Make Inquiry and Report to the Legislature of Maryland, Respecting the Subject of Industrial Education, 1908-1910
It is not the purpose of the Commission to appear as a critic, much less as an opponent of the public school system as it now exists. But some modification in its methods, though not in its essential spirit, is absolutely necessary. The widespread introduction of scientific knowledge and scientific methods into all the industrial processes of the day makes it desirable that the great mass of children who leave school at the age of 14 to 16 and under, if they are not to be launched unprepared into an unknown world, must acquire such training in the public schools as will give them at least some elementary knowledge of the facts and forces which they will face as soon as the doors of the schoolhouse close behind them.
