Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

However, this correlation has usually been imper- fect in that, while the teacher of such “half- time ” pupils consciously adapts the school work to fit the shop needs of the pupils, the shop teacher and school teacher have not generally, as yet, compared methods and attempted to make the pupils’ learning experience a unified one. Shop teaching, or to put it in a general phrase, “ transference of skill and experience in the in- dustries,” is at present such an indefinite thing that one can scarcely blame either side for this lack of correlation. In this country, and in the same locality, are existing side by side to-day methods of teaching as old as the time of the guilds and the most modern methods of teach- ing, with an indefinite and surprisingly large number of steps, or grades of teaching, in be- tween. It would undoubtedly interest, and it might profit, educators to trace the history of teaching in the industries; but this is not the place to present such a history. This, because the need for immediate correlation of teaching in the school and in the industry is so pressing and so great.
