THE EDUCATION BILL
IT BLOSSOMS
BETTER THIS
WAY
EDUCATION
WORK
By courtesy of the Massachusetts Child Labor Committee.
I believe every child should have as
good an educational ground-work as pos-
sible, suited so far as feasible in each case
to his especial interests and capabilities.
I believe the time has arrived when we
can very properly advance the compul-
sory school age to fifteen, and I so rec-
ommend.
The education required after the age
of fourteen need not be wholly academic
for all pupils. Subject
to the approval
and supervision of the educational au-
thorities, there should be a choice allowed
between partly practical and wholly
academic work, and this may be secured
by applying the half-time principle to the
continuation school already established
and working so successfully
Inaugural Message
-Governor Frank G. Allen.
