...their dense ignorance of the laws of political economy and of kindred sciences. That this ignorance exists may be clearly seen by a glance at statements, glaringly false, made in their best and most representative publications. In England laboring men have frequent opportunities to hear lectures from and to talk with men trained in the knowledge of these subjects. This is what is needed in America. Let practical economists come in contact with the organized laboring classes and teach them the fundamental principles of the science. The revolutionary socialist cannot help us.

Therefore he has only a half interest in his work, and in a short time this half interest dwindles to no interest at all. In addition to a talk on choosing a profession, a few words could be added, with good effect; as to what were the best special schools in the country; how they were managed; and what a man could expect to get from them. If President Eliot can spare the time for such a lecture...
