The adoption of public education (in the United States, anyway) in the late nineteenth century--the timeframe he mentions--has exactly zero to do with producing competent workers for the emerging industrial society. It has everything to do with manufacturing social conformity and political docility. Nonpartisan historical records prove this. In fact, these goals come straight from the founders of our system (Mann, Dewey, etc.). Look it up for yourself.
It's interesting to see how those who are ideologically sympathetic to public education (which was never established to train individual minds, but achieve the social goals described above) try to retcon the negative consequences by blaming the pedagogical model on the needs of "industrialism." Once again, laissez-fair taking the blame for circumstances created by its antipode, central planning.
