Excerpt from Vocational Education: Its Theory, Administration and Practice; The Problem of Vocational Education; The People's School: A Study in Vocational Training; The Improvement of Rural Schools American public education is confronted by problems growing out of public demands for the enrichment and improvement of types of instruction already well established in high and elementary schools; but it also faces a variety of new problems involved in the current social demands for forms of education not hitherto generally carried on in schools. Vocational education is one of these new problems. Almost every agency, in any way identified with the improvement of social conditions, voices, to-day, a demand for better vocational education.
