I have three observations about the scholarship that Swartz presents, and I make them in full acknowledgement of Swartz's own clarity as to what her book is not about.

Industrial education -- schooling providing vocational training -- was offered as a solution to the conundrum of education potentially producing Indigenous (and, indeed, settler working-class) youth unprepared for labour.
