A bill providing for vocational con-
tinuation schools has been introduced
in the Washington legislature. 1t
provides for compulsory continuation
schooling for six hours weekly, three
years for boys and two years for
girls, after the age of fifteen. The
plan is somewhat similar to the
Cooley proposal in Illinois, but differs
in empowering the local school board
to appoint the board to have charge
of vocational training. In this and
other respects it resembles the Wis
consin law enacted in 1911.
