Memorable American Speeches Vol 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from Memorable American Speeches A little over a year ago, the school for apprentices of the Lakeside Press was organized, last year's volume being the first production of the school. Another year's experience has strengthened the faith of the publishers in their plan. The plan is to place boys at their life-work immediately after their graduation from grammar school, thus avoiding the usual demoralizing hiatus of two or three years between school and serious employment; to teach during a portion of the day the technique of the trade and the correlated academic studies in a factory school in order that the boys may become skillful craftsmen, and the balance of the day in the factory on actual commercial work that they may become industrious and efficient workmen. The work of the second-year boys shows a technique and grounding in the theory of correct composition that promises in time an organization for the Lakeside Press that will make for intelligence and efficiency. No greater proof of the worth of this school can be given than the interest shown by the parents in the progress of the boys and their co-operation in maintaining discipline.
