Prevocational Industrial Training in the Seventh and Eight Grades

Prevocational Industrial Training in the Seventh and Eight Grades, by George Alonzo Mirick, presents a detailed examination of early 20th-century approaches to integrating practical industrial skills into the standard curriculum for young adolescents. Addressing educators and policymakers, Mirick advocates for a system where students receive hands-on experience in various trades, preparing them for potential vocational paths. The book delves into the pedagogical methods, curriculum design, and the overall rationale for incorporating industrial training in grades seven and eight. This work offers insights into the historical development of vocational education and its role in shaping the workforce.
