Usually today, however, even in the cultural school, there is at 

 least a minor emphasis on the value of the curriculum as a direct 

 preparation for vocational efficiency, so that within the large "C" 

 there should appear a small "v". Similarly, in the best type of 

 vocational school there is an essential core of culture, and we should 

 place within the large "V" a small "c". Finally, there are not 

 wanting those who hold that the ideal training of the future will 

 be such that we may fitly symbolize it by a combination emblem 

 consisting of a somewhat reduced "V" superimposed upon a "C" 

 drawn to the same scale. The several figures would then appear 

 somewhat as follows: 



G ^ V

The symbol at the extreme right pretty exactly places vocational 

 education, as now practiced and as contrasted with the existing 

 cultural schools of secondary grade. Exactly where on an im- 

 aginary line passing from one extreme to the other any given 

 school that has departed from time-honored traditions belongs, can 

 only be determined by examination of its curriculum and its ani- 

 mating spirit.
