Worthwhile Americans For the Grades (Hardcover)

1925. This volume is a textbook created for schools and the teaching public. There are certain men and women of the present or recent day whose examples would beget high ideals and stimulate a determination in the minds of students to imitate them. One of the standing indictments against the educational system is that it does not teach practical experiences of everyday life; that is, the things one meets in the various trades and professions. Such near-vocational training can be found in the various sketches found within this book.
