That growing movement which is called industrial or vocational education now hangs in the scales. If it is so construed in practice as to produce merely more competent hands for subordinate clerical and shop positions, if its purpose is shaped to drill boys and girls into certain
forms of automatic skill which will make them
useful in carrying out the plans of others, it means
that instead of nationalizing education in the
spirit of our nation, we have given up the battle,
and decided to refeudalize education.
