A 1929 article by J. H. Constantine describing how the Passaic, New Jersey public schools prepare youth for the textile industry. Industry study begins in the first six grades, followed by textile shopwork in grades seven and eight and a two-year Vocational School course in textile manufacturing under the Smith-Hughes Act. The article argues for building pride in craft and an understanding of the industry in young workers. Photographs show the Memorial School building, the school textile workshop with hand and power looms, and an exhibit of fabric samples.
