LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BUREAU OF EDUCATION, Washington, May 29, 1915. SIR: In the manuscript transmitted herewith Dr. George E. Myers discusses in a clear and concise manner four interesting and important problems in vocational education in Germany, about which there is need of information in the United States: I. Continuation schools for boys in unskilled occupations in Berlin. II. Continuation schools for girls and women in Berlin. III. The training of industrial continuation-school teachers in Prussia. IV. Dual control in industrial education in Prussia. This manuscript was prepared by Dr. Myers at my request after he had spent a year studying the problems of vocational education in Germany, with special reference to the application of German methods in American schools.
