To make the public school system both elementary and higher education, attain its greatest usefulness to the American people, three things are quite important.
First, extend industrial education until about one-half the time is spent on text books and the other half on learning trades and making boys and girls useful citizens.
Second, establish a public school system where every child will learn as early in life as possible to accumulate small savings instead of learning to spend money faster than they earn it.
Third, sell school bonds direct to the taxpayers in small denominations and keep the interest money at home among the people who pay the bills.
With these slight reforms put into effect, the public educational system might save our country from becoming a nation of soft-handed white collar non-producers. –Industrial News
