Excerpt from The Industrial Training of the Girl IN the ideal state of society Labor and Love and Life would be regarded as three ways of characterizing the same thing, namely, a complete human existence. This larger, richer personality is to me an enticing goal of training, especially because of my belief that its means of attainment exist potentially in the nature of every ordinary child. N ow, it is the dominant note of this little volume that industry - when properly related to the growth and the training of the young - is cultural and ennobling. Slowly yet unmistakably, from the age old superstitions about her sex, there is emerging a type of woman which, as I believe, will be known as distino tively American - a type which is being created out of our plain, substantial, composite stock. And during all the years Of her development this coming American woman will be guided first of all by the secret whisper ings of her own true feminine nature. From the time when she first extends her tiny hands to grasp eagerly the baby doll, to the day when she bids adieu her first born departing for college - during all these years she will continue to attain unto higher perfection and beauty of character.
