Synopsis

Newsboy Service: A Study In Educational And Vocational Guidance is a book written by Anna Yeomans Reed and first published in 1917. The book is a study of the Newsboy Service, a program in New York City that aimed to provide educational and vocational guidance to young newsboys. The program was designed to help these boys, many of whom were immigrants or from disadvantaged backgrounds, to improve their literacy and numeracy skills and to find more stable and fulfilling employment opportunities. Reed's book provides a detailed account of the Newsboy Service, including its history, organization, and methods. She also examines the broader context of vocational guidance and education in the early 20th century, discussing the various theories and approaches that were being developed at the time. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the Newsboy Service. Reed begins by describing the origins of the program and its early years, including the challenges faced by the organizers in getting it off the ground. She then goes on to discuss the various educational and vocational activities that were offered to the newsboys, such as classes in reading, writing, and arithmetic, as well as training in various trades and industries. Throughout the book, Reed emphasizes the importance of individualized guidance and support for each newsboy, taking into account their unique needs and abilities. She also examines the role of the Newsboy Service in shaping broader attitudes towards education and vocational training, arguing that it helped to promote a more holistic and inclusive approach to these issues. Overall, Newsboy Service: A Study In Educational And Vocational Guidance is a fascinating historical account of a pioneering program that sought to improve the lives of young people in New York City. It offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of vocational guidance and education in the early 20th century, as well as the broader social and cultural context of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Congress has seen the wisdom of providing vocational training for the citizens of a world that is to be made safe for democracy With the passage of the Snth-H ughes A ct in February of this year, the nation has resolved to do its part in seeing that American boys and girls have that maximum of opportunity for successful living which is the first duty of a free state. The $7,000,000 eventually to be made available as an annual appropriation from the federal government will mean the expenditure of many times this amount by the various states and by local communities. There will be 48 states, instead of 9, with state systems of vocational education, and every community, whether city or country, will be thinking, as never before, in terms of useful human service. The vocational education law provides specifically for investigation of occupational conditions in relation to education. One of the first duties of the federal board will be to learn what studies have already been made and what further investigations are needed. A significant example of the kind of study necessary is afforded in the report by Mrs. Reed for Seattle, published in this volume. There have been other studies of school and employment, especially for Eastern cities, and the street trades have come in for their share of attention. But in no study prior toM
