The Making of a Trade School is a book written by Mary Schenck Woolman that provides a comprehensive account of the establishment and development of a vocational school. The book follows the journey of a group of individuals who were passionate about providing practical training to young people who were not interested in traditional academic studies. The story is set in the early 1900s when vocational education was not yet popular, and the idea of a trade school was relatively new.The book takes the reader through the challenges and triumphs of the founders as they worked to secure funding, find a suitable location, and recruit qualified instructors. It also highlights the various trades that were taught at the school, including carpentry, plumbing, mechanics, and electrical work. The author provides detailed descriptions of the curriculum and the hands-on approach that was used to teach the students.Throughout the book, Woolman emphasizes the importance of vocational education and the impact it can have on the lives of young people. She also highlights the role that trade schools can play in addressing the skills gap in the workforce and providing opportunities for individuals to pursue meaningful careers.Overall, The Making of a Trade School is a compelling and informative read that provides valuable insights into the history of vocational education in the United States. It is a must-read for anyone interested in education, workforce development, or the history of trades and vocational training.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
