INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION IN THE EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY.

The article provides information on the industrial education in the early nineteenth century. It explains that attention to industrial arts in the common or public schools is a late development and often more or less of a hesitancy to introduce work of the kind into the curriculum fearing that it is too much of innovation from the established traditions. The industrial training started its early phase in Boston where an early and a comparatively original development of the school system is found.
