Excerpt from Industrial Drawing for Girls: Design Principles Applied to Dress
The foregoing is of vital importance to those who are engaged in educational work in any capacity whatsoever, for an educational system is not only responsible for the prep aration of the individual for life, but also, to a great extent, for the nature of the social environment of future genera tions, in the character and conditions of the home and of organized society. Any system, unless it be organized with regard to a remote as well as an immediate future, is both absurd and pernicious. An educational system, applying the term to its personnel, which either fails to see or declines to assume this responsibility convicts itself of reprehensible short - sightedness and of failure in its mission. If it is not effective as an instrument in the formation of sterling quali ties, what possible excuse is there for its existence? Its aim must be to train the units comprising the body politic, first as desirable human beings, second as social assets. It should endeavor to make it possible for each person to raise himself at least above the pauper stage economically, ethi cally and esthetically. No school system, or part of such system, dealing with the immature is worthy of considera tion which fails to recognize these requirements. 50, in our endeavor to meet the stress of industrial conditions by indi vidual trade training in vocational schools we must deal with our problems, not alone from the standpoint of the recipient's self support, but from the point of view of the sort of men and women such a training will tend to produce. Herein lies the distinction between the modern apprentice system and an educational institution. The former has as an end the feeding of certain industries and the training of the individual economically only. The function of the latter is sociological. Not only must it consider the indi vidual side but it must reckon with the results of individual reactions in character products; that is, in habits of thought and in standards of living and conduct.
