VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
HAS Been EXPLAINED
Government To Pay One-Haf
Of Teachers Salary

What is the National Vocational
Educational Act?" The National Vo-
cational Educational Act" known as
the "Smith-Hughes Bill" provides
that grants of money shall be made
by the Federal Government to the
States for the purpose Of Cooperating
with the States in the promotion Of
Vocational Education. This bill pass.
ed Congress, and was signed by Pres
ident Wilson, February %, 1917. It
became effective July /, 1917.
What does it do for our State? The
act provides aid to the states by pay.
ing one-half thu cost of salaries OF
teachers of trades and home econom.
les, and teachers, supervisors and d.
rectors Of Agricultural subjects. The
state or local community, or both, pay
the other one-half of such salaries.
Besides this aid for teachers salaries,
the bill provides that the Federal Gov
eminent shall pay one-half the total
cost Of preparing teachers of these
vocational subjects.
How much money does this bill pro-
vide for the State of Georgia? There
is available from the Federal and
State funds this year for Georgia
about $4,000. This sum will be in
creased each year until 1926 when
Georgia will receive about $384,000 for
vocational education. Since we are
essentially an agricultural state. this
fund will be spent largely for salaries
of teachers in rural agricultural high
schools. departments of agriculture in
rural high schools, and in our district
agricultural schools.

what is the nature of a Vocational
School? In order for school to re-
ceive the benefit of this Act, it must
be under public supervision and con.
troll; its controlling purpose must be
to fit boys and girls for useful EN-.
ployment, the instruction must be Of
less than college grade. This instruc-
ton must be for children over IA
years of age; and one-half of the time
must be actual practice of vocational
nature. The other one-half Of the time
may be spent on subjects Of general
nature Internationally. This makes it
possible for such schools to send its
boys to the Agricultural College, if
they desire so to do.-Prof J. T. Whee-
Ter, State College Of Agriculture.

Treatment Of Walls.

II molding is liked from which to
hang the pictures that do SO much to
make our rooms homelike, the best
height for the molding Is in line with
the top Of the doors. The modern idea
seems to be to bring the window wood
work to the floor by using a paneljng
beneath the sill. and to carry the tops
Of doors and windows TO fixed line
the molding line. Thus the walls are
divided into rectangular spaces, and
the decorative effect of a good paper
is enhanced. A plain paper has the
dignity Of q panel when so used.

Germany's peace offer made
through switzerland, If it is as re-
ported hyf the news gathering asso-
eiati6hs, amounts toaa confession of
defSat by the Kaiser. Its acceptance
by the allies would leave them vic
tor in ali essential points, save one.
That one point is whether the Ger
Iliaffsaajhd is duly impressed by its
Tahnie to dominate the world. ANY
peace with Germany will be but tenn
porary unless it carries with it
lesson strong enough to penetrate the
German skull that the world will not
take its civilization from the Teutonic
q schoolmasters. By agreeing to ac-
eept the terms laid down by President
Wilson, Germany owns herself beat
on but ii is for the rulers Of the allied
nations to determine whether the
beating is sufficient 80 that there will
be no danger of repetition of the
offence.
