Description

In the preparation of a paper on the needs and methods of improvement in mining education, it was found that the field was an exceeding large one to cover. Consequently, this paper has developed into an effort to sum up what part of the field in mining education has already been cultivated, whether that field has been sufficiently cultivated and is producing results, and in what part of the field there lies the greatest harvest for the future. It seems to be a general conviction that education which does not help towards efficiency in life work, although it administers breadth of view, is a luxury intended only for a few. When such is the judgment of the majority, it is time that we considered making the system one for all. There should be less of the old idea of the three R's for all, with high culture for the wealthy, and more attention to the systematic instruction of the industrial unit, the man, and making him as efficient as possible as a man, as a citizen, and as an industrial producer. 14 p.
