Commissioner of Education NJ. b.
Hiliegass has returned from Washing
ton. d. c., where he was called in
conference by the war department
relative to vocational education, it
having been decided that the schools
of theavarious states will cooperate
in training men for work ip different
department. in the cantonment SER
vice, as well as in other branches of
military life. The schools will take
up the work of training conscripts
There are 81 vocations used in the
army and it is very probable that the
conscripts in the first and second
classes of the new draft regulations
will be assigned to certain kinds Of
education in the schools in Vermont,
night schools being much used in
that training. The government has
arranged that Sunday afternoons as
well as night schools shall be used in
, that service training.
The Catholic church has co-operat-
ed with the government by removing
all barriers in it's church work SO
that young men may be trained Sum
day afternoons, with the exceptions
of Christmas and like holidays.
Some of the kinds Of training that
will be taken up in Vermont will pro-
baby be truck driving, gas welding
and yulcanizing, in which there is a
great need in the army. Arrange
ments have been made SO that the
school department will obtain certain
information as to the vocations of the
conseripts that these men may be
selected to the best advantage to the
government and the men.
In the cities of Vermont it is ex-
pected that trucks viii be loaned TO
the schools for the training and
that the well equipped garages and
