Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Part-Time School for the Working Youth: A Formulation of the Theory, Principles, Problems and Practices Involved in the New York State Program of Part-Time or Continuation School Education
This legislation supported by many social agencies and interests was passed by the Legislature of New York for the same under lying reasons that brought its hearty adoption in the other states. What are these reasons? The safety and progress of the democratic state requires an intelligent and efficient citizenship to meet the rising demands of opportunity for all. The. Wage-earning youth, leaving fall-time school to go to work prematurely, is deprived of this opportunity. It therefore becomes the duty of the State to follow him, so that he may have a chance to learn as well as earn. This is only Simple justice. At large expense to the State the full time school gave the wage earning youth, before he took up wage earning, certain social values. The only sure way to fix' these so they will become permanent is to maintain contact with him through his adolescent years as a wage worker. Many of the youths of New York State leave full-time school to go to work prematurely. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
