Filmed in the best possible way. UNIVERSITY MICROFILMS PREFACE Difficulties become apparent in the historical compilation of this single categorical concept of educa­ tion when one considers the multi-faceted educational elements of specialization which are germane to each occupational area. Problems of gathering early voca­ tional trade and industrial research materials have been magnified as a result of incomplete or missing records because of carelessness, deaths and personnel turnover. This writer has been made aware of the fact that authen­ ticated historical documentation is extremely important to all educational areas, if for no other reason than that it creates a solid foundation upon which one may project or build toward the future. Those of us in vocational education submit that this type of education builds a bridge to a more meaning­ ful future heretofore reserved only for those with pro­ fessional aspirations. We, in turn, contend that voca­ tional education is an answer to the complex ramifica­ tions which have evolved from increased patterns of world-wide technological changes and population growth never experienced by any previous culture.
