INTRODUCTION CIVILIZATION is, of course, a gold mine of paradoxes but none of them is more curious than the success and purported failure of Americas magnificent experi ment in mass education. The success of the public school system would seem to be obvious. Exceptfor slight reverses occasioned by economic depressions and regres sions, the number of public schools and of subjects included in the curricula, the percentage of each age group attending the schools, and the duration of the average individuals period of schooling have all steadily increased.

Whether the first critic arose before or after the first public school and the first teacher, is a moot question. But the voice crying in the wilderness did not become an a eapella choir until the depression struck and well-schooled young men and women failed to find jobs or to found families as successfully as had their frequently less literate parents and grandparents in times past. Few people actually claimed that the schools were responsible for - unemployment, but there was a widespread feeling that conditions would be better if the schools at least taught somespecific trade and that the depression would have been shortened if the schools had properly equipped their graduates to create jobs and to carry on the tradition of helping their parents.
