ACCEPTS VERMONT PLAN.
Federal Board Pleased with States Voca
tional Education Proposal

| The following letter received by Com.
missioner NJ. b. Hillegas speaks well of
the Vermont plan of vocational education
as drafted by the educational depart
ment of Vermont relative to the Smith.
Hughes fund work, and which, since the
| letter was received, has been adopted by
the federal board. in view of the fact
that the federal board made no changes.
1t is very interesting for this is widely
different from the plans generally sub
mtted to the federal board on work
along this and other educational lines
which are often changed
December 20, lal7
Hon. NJ. B. Hillegas, Commissioner OF

find it satisfactory in every respect. ]
shall recommend il TO the federal board
for approval at its next meeting on or
about Dec. rs
| wish particularly to speak of the az
riclltural part of yoIu plan. This is one
Of the best plans for vocational agrcuI.
tursl education in schools of this type
which has been submitted. | should like
TO consider with you the proposition of
having the part relating TO the work at
the Vail school printed in order that it
might be used by other states in estab-
fishing vocational schools Of agriculture
The proposition which you have put up
here to eorrelate the practical work and
the related instruction in agriculture and
science is most commendable. The sea
sonal arrangement of topics and the out
line of courses should be available to all
those who are interested in the question
of the establishment OF schools of this ,
type.
It is needless for me TO assure you
that we are ready to assist you in any
way in promoting this work and in get I
ting established a statewide system of

PERMIT POTATOES
1870 VIM
AS A SUBSTITUTE
Food Administration Allows One
Third Substitutes if Pota-
toes are Used

Under an order issued by Charles
Hebberd, state food administrators, the
wheat flour substitute basis for Wash
ington was changed March from one
third to ono half, and a campaign
for increased. use of potatoes was in
augurated by an option allowing the
old requirement to stand if pound Of
raw potatocs is also purchased with
each pound of flour.
"Undcr the new rule, with each
5O-pound purchase Of flour the con-
sumner must purchase either Is pounds
of authorized substitutes or else 16
pounds of substitutes and so pounds
of potatoes" Mr.. Hebberd states.
The state has been on three to one
substitution basis, the announcement
continues, altho most states have been
required to sell one pound of substi-
tutes with each pound of flour. Scar
city of substitutes resulted in tempo
rary permission to few states to re-
duce the proportion, Mr.. Hebberd says
but he predicts the fifty-fify basis
will be in effect in Washington by the
first of April.
The campaign for increased con-
sumption of potatoes will be carried
into every corner of the state. Posters
and booklets, pointing out the advan-
tages to which the vegetable may be
put and urging its more extended use
in view of the surplus crop and the
scarcity of other food products, will
be distributed in every community.
Mr.. Hebberd urges that potatoes
be used more in hotels and restaurants
and recommends that they be served
with meat orders without extra charge
and he asks housewives to serve them
more in their homes as vegetable
and use them more literally in bread
making. Retailers are requested to
make leaders of potatoes with differ
emit displays and in advertisements.
"By the use of more potatoes in
place of white bread, more wheat can
De released to our soldiers in France
and our associates in the war. Pota-
toes, at present prices, are the cheap
est food on the market" Mr.. Hebberd
declares.
The new order does not affect the
proportion of substitutes which the
wholesaler must sell to the retailer.
