Make a study of the extent to which specialization is necessary in
the industries of your town.

Does your school offer any vocational training or vocational
guidance?

Is there a tendency in your school for boys and girls to quit
before completing the course? At what grades do pupils begin to
drop out in considerable numbers? Why do they leave? What sort of
work do they do when they leave school?

At what ages does the law in your state permit boys and girls to
go to work? Show how this restriction of freedom now increases
freedom later on.
