Some Facts Concerning Manual Arts and Homemaking Subjects in one Hundred Fifty-six Cities, written by Joseph C. Park and originally published in 1916, offers a fascinating snapshot of the state of vocational education in the United States during the early 20th century. This detailed study compiles data from 156 cities, providing insights into the prevalence and characteristics of manual arts and homemaking programs in public schools.

The book serves as a valuable primary source for educators, historians, and researchers interested in the evolution of vocational training and its role in shaping American society. Park's work illuminates the educational priorities of the era and the growing recognition of the importance of practical skills in preparing students for future careers and domestic life. It allows a look at the differences in educational access across different locations, and how manual arts and homemaking were perceived as essential components of a well-rounded education.
