Abstract
UNTIL recently there has been little attempt to bridge the gulf that separates the school life of a youth from his after-school life. This deficiency has been due in a large measure to a lack of sympathy and aloofness on the part of those responsible for his education and those who employ his services. Particularly has this been the case of education and industry. On one hand, educationists have tended to despise industry as sordid materialism, and, on the other, industrialists have had little use for the bookishness of education. Perhaps neither party has been to blame for its attitude, for the old-time habit of industry was to work for gain, and pure bookishness certainly was the characteristic of our educational system.
