By Robert M. Parker,
Instructor of Photography, Frank Wiggins Trade School.
America is known as a nation producing volume. In the "roaring twenties," the versatile man did not necessarily enjoy many advantages. Men were trained for a specific operation and in the performance of that operation they became remarkably adept. A man employed, for instance, in a large automobile plant, learned to perform his single duty with such speed and ability that he himself was like a smoothly
functioning cog in a vast machine, producing machines. He did ONE thing and he did it well.
What he did not realize was the fact that it was not enough. His single skill did not safeguard his future. It was fine while it lasted, but when the depression came it left many such men on an island. They became the great army of the unemployed and the lesson of over-specialization
became the lesson for an oncoming generation to heed.
The Frank Wiggins Trade School, a free public school, conducted by the Los Angeles City Board of Education, is an outstanding example of how an educational institution can be made a cooperative enterprise and be integrated with the social and industrial life of the community.
