VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.
While the debate upon vocational
education was before Congress, Con
gressman Kess was one of those who
"extended" his remarks in the Ke
voril.
And he advocated vocational
training because it would prevent
a waste of human energy. And ho
enumerated the three sources ot
that waste: The unemployed or the
army of idly children; the improper
ly employed where misfits are ob
served; the imperfectly employed
where energy capable of being em
ployed is stunted by lack o*. direc
tion.
Vocational training is to elimi
nate all this by tbe employment ot
those who have been properly train
ed to work.
Really that seems a very simple
matter and assuredly is the readiest
solution to lie offered of such a pro
blem as that whieh is mentioned b\
the distinguished and honorable
i-'ess.
It certainly is cutting the Gordian
knot of capitalist problems with a
sword to educate tbe youth of the
land to some particular trade which
would assure him thus permanent
and effective employment. It is
•strange that no one ever thought ot
this simple plan before, and we can
well afford to pause to consider at
greater length its simple beauty
and efficiency.
Take the labor world today, one
would he inclined to believe that
the country stood in dire need of a
variety of artificers and craftsmen.
One would believe that all a
tradesman out of a job has to do is
to offer his services to another firm
aid lm will he employed right away.
Xow nothing of the kind is the
. asc. There is not a single trained
or skilled era ft where there is not
11wavs to he found a number of idle
and employable, and that too pos
sessing average skill and average
training.
The fact is that these crafts how
ever enjoy higher wages because o£
the fact that the skilled man is less
frequently encountered than the un
skilled and if every man was a
trained electrician, what would be
come of the electrician’s wages?
The world of industry employs a
•certain number of trained and un
trained, skilled and unskilled. The
number so employed varies at i .:> r
ent well defined periods of activity
or depression in industry. During
active periods, as at present there is
an abnormal demand for workers
of all kinds and during the periods
of depression there is a similar de
crease in employment, quite regard
less of the skill or lack of skill of
the employee.
It will not change conditions in
industry an iota it every individual
youth is taught a trade. Because
then the only result would be to re
duce every craftsman to the same
wage level as the rest of the em
ployed.
What is mainly desired in this
question of vocational training is
that the supply of trained hands
available should he increased, it is
not satisfactory to any employer
when only one man is available lor
that one skilled position. The ideal
condition is when several are look
ing for the job at the same time,
industry depends lor its activity on
the degree of consumptive activity
of the markets for the product of
that industry, and not upon the
quantity of labor skilled or un
skilled which is available.
The degree of profits depends
upon the plentifulness of labor,
upon its effectiveness, and upon the
intensity to which it can be sub
jected at its tasks. By having a
plentiful supply of labor available,
the employer can beat down wages,
making one man compete against
another for a job. By the intensity
qf labor, efficient and able, the
productive capacity is increased ac
cordingly over and above the neces
sary time of employment to produce
an equivalent value to the product
of labor.
Surely if every man has a trade
and has acquired a vocational train
ing in some line or another, the re
sult will be that there will be no
such differentiation in the wages
paid skilled and the wages paid un
skilled workers. The only reason
the skilled get higher pay is because
the supply in relation to the de
mand is markedly less than in the
case of the unskilled. The price ot
labor power for that reason falls
or rises with the demand and supply
in the market, for that commodity.
That under the present system
when not ten per cent of the
youths pass through the High
school and not 1-2 of 1 per cent en
joy any sort of a technical training,
that vocational training will benefit
those who do enjoy the privilege
goes without saying.
But why stop at vocational train
ing? Suppose it was suggested to
teach every youth the practice ot
medicine and surpery, of law, of en
gineering, of those so-called learned
professions, isn’t it obvious that the
only sufferers would be the mem
bers of that profession whose num
bers by being limited were able to
maintain some degree of excessive
remuneration relative to the services
rendered.
Now, it ought to be manifest
that it would be as much a waste
or energy to make every man a car
| penter as to make every man a
lawyer. or to make everyone an
electrician as to make everyone a
I physician or surgeon. The waste ot
energy in society comes not from
the failure to teach vocational
training or unskilled to the profits
of another instead of service to so
ciety and the individuals which com
pose it.
There is a remarkable and most
reactionary feature about this de
mand for vocational training, which
we might have expected to have at
tained a much greater strength ami
to have come into being ong before
this. That is that it springs from
the natural reaction against the
enslavement of labor by the ma
chine, making so many human be
ings creatures not masters of the
machine itself, and was to have
have been apprehended as inevit
able. That it should find expansion
in the unduly exaggerated values
placed upon vocational train
ing was natural enough,
especially when that voca
tional training made universal will
have a tendency to lower the rate o'
wages paid skilled to the level ol
that paid unskilled labor, by the
simple expedient of increasing the
supply.
There must be a supply of trained
and skilled men. Industry demands
it and society insists upon it no less.
Profit insists more than either one
or the other, but quite regardless
of the industrial or social require
ments. The social needs must find
a proper satisfaction in suitable
education and the highest education
is an adjustment to that social need.
We may not all be plumbers any
more than be all doctors. But we
must make our work our creature,
not be the creatures of our work.
Until men find in their work their
pleasure and until in the healthful
performance of it we eliminate the
fatigue of servitude and the degra
dation of the hireling, we can solve
no problem by vocational training.
There are mighty few of us at the
present time ever work at what we
like to do. And the main reason
is because we are compelled to be
misfits by the necessities of another
man for profits. We cannot satisfy
our own desires in the way of labor.
We are compelled to serve, and it
is tho servitude that kills. But
servitude will continue as. long as
the profit system exists.
