“I trust that more and more
our people will see to it that the
schools train toward and not
from the farm and workshop.
We have spoken a great deal
about the dignity of labor in this
country, but we have not acted
up to our spoken words, for in
our education we have tended to
| proceed upon the assumption that
the educated man was to be edu-
cated away from and not toward
labor.”
“Teach the boy that he is to
| be expected to carn his own live-
| lihood, that it is a shame and
| scandal for him not to be self-de-
| pendent, not to be able to hold his
own in the rough work of actual
| life. Teach the girl that so far
from its being her duty to try to
i avoid all labor, all effort, that it
| should be a mmtter of pride to
her to be as good a housewife as |
her mother was before her.” :
