Excerpt from Federal Aid for Vocational Education: A Report to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Entirely apart from the wisdom or unwisdom of this appropriation of money by the federal government, it is important that the people of the United States should understand clearly what is being done. More and more the money of the federal treas ury is being sought for educational projects of one kind or another in the separate states. In the long run there Will come undoubtedly some demand for a more direct supervision of education by the federal authority. If this policy is to be entered upon, it should be taken up with a clear conception of what it means. Perhaps no circumstance of the original Morrill legislation was more remarkable than the entire absence of any educational conception as to what sort of colleges were to be created out of the money supplied by the central government. Indeed, a large proportion of the members of Congress did not expect institutions of college grade. This whole legislation, - so momentous in its consequences, resulting in the establish ment of institutions throughout all the states, - primarily educational in its s00pe and in its consequences, was carried out from the beginning to the end with almost no consideration of the educational problems involved. It is not too much to say that for the first fifty years of their existence the colleges thus established did very little to advance the interests of agriculture or to minister to the needs of the young men and young women on the farm. It is only within the last few years that they have addressed themselves directly to this problem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
