Abstract

A study of the history of industrial education in Massachusetts is instructive and of peculiar interest for several reasons. It was the first state to scientifically investigate industrial education, and to pass laws as committing the state to actively engage in the establishment of industrial schools. It has had a more varied history in the administration and control of this form of education than any other state, and exceeds all other states, with the possible exception of New York (in 1911), in the number of and the variety of types of industrial schools.
