Excerpt from The Making of a Trade School
In other words, the Manhattan Trade School aimed to. Find a way (i) to improve the worker, physically, mentally, morally, and financially; (2) to better the con ditions of labor in the workroom; (3) to raise the character of the industries and the conditions of the homes, and (4) to show that such education could be practically undertaken by public instruction. The four aims are really one, for the better workers should improve the product, make higher wages, react advan tageously on the industrial situation and on the home, and the course of instruction formulated to accomplish this end would help in the further introduction of such training.
