Excerpt from Short Course for Janitor-Engineers
The janitor of a school or other public building occupies a position of more responsibility than is usually recognized. He is in a very real sense responsible for the health and comfort of the occupants of the building under his care. He is also responsible for the economical use of fuel, equipment and supplies. To discharge his duties properly he needs technical knowledge and practical experience.
Up to the present time no attempt has been made to formulate and offer any definite course of instruction for the janitor-engineer. Usually verbal directions have been given as to what he is expected to do, sometimes accompanied by a book of rules. The reasons for these rules he may or may not understand. To add to his difficulties he is often required to take orders from, or at least to accede to the requests of, a number of persons, some of whom, at least, know less about his duties than he does. Again, the entire responsibility of running a plant may be thrown on his shoulders with the one admonition that he will be held responsible if anything goes wrong.
The work of a janitor is a real vocation requiring, as it does, technical knowledge, a knowledge of human nature and ability to get along with people, and, especially in the schools, the exercise of discipline. There is no reason why the calling of the janitor-engineer should not have a place in the present program of vocational education, and it was in connection with such a program that the following text was first prepared and used. It may serve as a reference book to be read by a janitor during his leisure moments (if he has any) or it may be used as the basis of a definite course of instruction in an evening or day class under a regular instructor.
