Book Description
Excerpt from The North Carolina High School Bulletin, 1916, Vol. 7 How Gary uses the children's time is told in a folder which I got from the school printing office: A total of nine hundred hours is the maximum school year in most cities. This is less than two and one-half hours a day for the 365 days of the year. As a rule, one hundred hours of the nine hundred are given to unsupervised recesses. Not more than one-fourth of the city children attend Sunday School regularly, which averages only two minutes a day for all the days and all the children. In fact, the church, the Sunday School, the public library, public playgrounds, Y. M. C. A.; Boy Scouts, and other child-welfare agencies, do not occupy the time of all of the children of the city for an average of ten minutes a day. The streets and alleys, the cheap theaters, the dance halls and gambling dens, the saloons, and other commercialized places of amusement have the children for over five hours a day. The cities are not fit places for the rearing of children because as a rule the streets and alleys have twice the time for educating children in the wrong direction that the school, church, library and playground have for educating them in the right direction. In place of using for manual training, play and physical training a part of the already too few regular school hours per year, the Gary schools attempt to se cure additional school time for work and play activities by appropri ating the worse than wasted street and alley time. The Gary schools provide wholesome activities for children for eight hours a day, and are used evenings, holidays and Sundays by adults. We cannot finance a school program for eight hours a day, if it is to cost as much per hour for eight hours as it now costs per hour for two and one-half hours. Since the ordinary school revenues are not adequate to meet the customary day school children's needs, how are we to finance a program for adult activities in the school when more adults use the schools than children?

Book Description
Excerpt from The Normal School Bulletin, 1908-1916: Nos. 23-53 In the first place, let me make myself perfectly clear upon what I mean by the word useful. What, after all, is the useful study in our schools? What do men find to be the useful thing in their lives? The most natural answer to this question is that the useful things are those that en able us to meet effectively the conditions of life, - or, to use a phrase that is perfectly clear to us all, the things that help us in getting a living. The vast majority of men and women in this world measure all value by this standard for most of us are, to use the expressive slang of the day, up against this problem, and up against it so hard and so constantly that we interpret everything in the greatly foreshortened perspective of immediate necessity. Most of us in this room are confronting this problem of making a living. At any rate, I am confronting it, and consequently I may lay claim to some of the authority that comes from experience.
