VOCATIONAL BILL
 PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Fostered by President and Teachers May Become
 Effective by July 1.
CBy Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. D. Congress sional approval of federal co-opera- tion in vocational education, a step advocated by labor leaders and edu- cators and recommended by President Wilson in his address at the opening of the present session was given to- day when the House passed the Hughes bill, similar to a measure passed by the senate at the last ses- sion, appropriating funds for the training and employment of teachers in state schools to help prepare boys and girls for useful employment.
 Some differences between the Sen ate and House measures remain to be adjusted in conference, but con gressional leaders believe they can be disposed so that the first appro- priation will be available July next the effective date stipulated in the House bill. The amount appropriated for the first year is $1.700,000 and a greater fund is authorized for each ouiNtFuliAS Nfdt uiAii AoAei of S7,2O0,O0O is reached nine years hence.
 Administration of the system will be under a board created by the bill, and in order to participate in the distribution each state must appro- priato an amount equal to the federal allotment 10 it. and must create q state board to cooperate with the federal officials in co-ordinating the work
 The only important difference be tween the Senate and House bills re- lates to composition of the federal board to administer the system. The Senate measure proposes board of cabinet officers with an advisory board of specialists. The House bill provides for administration by the commissioner of education and four assistants appointed by the Presi- dent.
