Page 8 - Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.
Page 5 - We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitationrooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.
Page 12 - But it is a curious thing that in industrial training we have tended to devote our energies to producing high grade men at the top rather than in the ranks.

The young man who has the courage and the ability to refuse to enter the crowded field of the so-called professions and to take to constructive industry is almost sure of an ample reward...
Page 5 - They do intend to impart the technical knowledge. We depend upon the various night schools established throughout the city, and we pray for the establishment of more and better night schools to give instruction for that portion of the training of the apprentices. The manufacturer has the commercial side of the question to deal with. He can impart the commercial side of the business in connection with the technical training. He must be a manual student commercially. He must be able to make that work...
