June 1, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The book "The Vocational Education of Girls" by Albert Leake is in the nature of a reasoned survey and has to do with the education of girls for the practice of the household arts, for industries, and for the minor types of office work. The author is Inspector of Manual Training and Household Arts in the Province of Ontario, and on other grounds as well, has the right to speak with authority. He emphasizes the pressing need for universal and better training of girls in the household arts, and finds that the present heavy governmental investments in such training show very inadequate results, little appreciable change being discovered in homes most needing to be benefited.
