ffective,
must train for efficiency, must link itself with life and work, must
be practical. I had thought of the movement for relating the school to
industry as being confined to America and Europe. But when I landed in
Japan I found the educational authorities there as keenly alive to the
importance of the movement as ours in America; in China I found that
the old classical system of education has been utterly abandoned
within a decade; in the Philippines it was the boast of the
Commissioner of Education that the elementary schools in the islands
give better training for agriculture and industry than those in the
United States; and in India the school authorities are earnestly at
work upon the same problem.

Knowledge and tools must go hand in hand. If this has been important
heretofore it is doubly important now that we must face in an
ever-increasing degree the rivalry of awakening peoples who are strong
with the strength that comes from struggle with poverty and hardship,
and who have set themselves to master and apply all our secrets in the
coming world-struggle for industrial supremacy and racial
readjustment.
