The book then examines vocational education, as well as vocational education in art, medicine, engineering, and teaching. The manuscript takes a look at adult education, mass education for illiterates, and teaching by correspondence. Topics include examinations for correspondence students, preparation and correction of lessons, types of correspondence schools, classes of home students, teaching methods, personal skills and activities, and some common requirements.
