AS q result of having qualified un'
der the law passed by congress last
year North Dakota this year will re-
ceive $4,000 from the federal govern
ment towards the maintenance of vo'
cational schools. This will be increas'
ed each year for five years when 1t
will be $4,000 annually. The law re-
quires that North Dakota appropriate
an equal amount for these schools
each year. Ii. -.
North Dakota already having made
large appropriations for vocational
education, it did not require any ad
ditional appropriations Of money fol-
this state to come in under this act
All that was necessary was to accept
the courses prescribed by the fedora
department Of education.
The federal aid must be used for the
pay of additional teachers possessing
the qualifications prescribed in the
federal vocational school act. Mex
year North Dakota's share of this ait
will be materially increased and it i!
expected by the board Of education
that more schools in the state viii
qualify for this aid. o.,

Of education were present at yester
