Some Trends in the Vocational Training of Women in the Public Schools in the City of New York in the Last Twenty-Five Years
Abstract
"Vocational education refers to the total experience provided by the school to teach an individual how to participate in an occupation that is both gainful to himself and serviceable to society."Vocations may be manual or intellectual; the worker may be called chiefly to lead and to give orders, or to follow and to take orders. There are vocational callings in which the service rendered is net to be measured in dollars and cents, the clergy, physicians, teachers, artists, inventers, soldiers, explorers, mothers, homemakers. Other groups are strongly actuated by fear of hunger, poverty or desire to live.
