purpose should be provided IN our
high schools. but, for the boy or girl
who does not expect to study for a
profession. and who must soon leave
school to 90 to work. better and more
specific vocational training must be
provided.
The trainers OF the federal voca-
tional law have made a wide range OF
possibilities for vocational training
under the law. Several plans are pos
sible; the all-day vocational school,
the continuation school. the trade
school. the part time school. and the
evening school The aim Is to give the
deserving boy or girl every oppOrtu-
nifty to get the training that viii fit
them for a useful occupation. and to
shut out those who have no real pur-
pose in taking training Of this kind.
They can get what they want IN the
general manual training courses.
which should be provided for that
class OF students
Part Time or Cooperative Plan.
IN the cooperative plan OF voca-
tional education, the students work in
pairs. While one Is in the office. shop.
or laboratory, the other Is in school
They change places every week or two
weeks Every Saturday the students
meet and compare notes and plan for
the next weeks work or study.
These courses are properly called
cooperative because the alert business
man, the wide awake engineer. and
the efficient mechanic. give to the
school the benefit OF their wide ex-
perience and broad training, and they
help shape the courses OF study by
casting them IN practical mouids.
At school the cooperative student Is
given a special program OF studies. a
special set Of teachers. and Is assigned
to special classes He covers the
ground OF the regular academic
studies from an entirely different an

men would have been trained within a
year.
This patriotic and heroic servince
on the part Of the schools has been a
wonderful stimulus to vocational edu-
cation in all parts Of the country. The
schools that undertook this training
have been wonderfully built up. New
and more efficient equipment has been
added. and new and more efficient
methods OF instruction have been
worked out
Legislation Boosts Education.
The vocational education act by
congress, known as the Smith Hughes
law, is the elimination OF an evoIu-
ton in state and national legislation
for vocational education. This law
provides a scheme OF cooperation be-
tween the federal government and the
states for the promotion OF vocational
education in the fields Of Industry.
agriculture and home economies. The
granting Of federal aid under this
law imposes upon the states certain
strict obligations in the spending OF
the money The aim OF this law Is to
reach the boy or girl who really needs
vocational training and not for the
one who intends to 60 or thinks he Is
going through the high school and
the college.
SCATTERING w. Thorough Training.
In the past. and in many cases at
the present time, our high school
courses IN Industrial training, for they
cannot be called vocational. are sim

school course leading toward college.
Students who took these courses got
a smattering OF Industrial knowledge

its being used in earning a livelihood
after they leave school The time de-
voted to this work Is usually SO short
that In any particular line Of indus

as an apprenticeship. This kind Of
training Is all right for the boy or girl

Ell PasO Schools.
Vocational education has come to
stay. The time has gone by when IN
our public schools It can be ques-
toned We are now passing through
an educational revolution. which has
been spurred up BY the world war We
have just passed through and the
problems OF reconstruction that are
coming after. Educational standards
are being adjusted and educational
values being appraised. Education for
vocational ends Is receiving due con-
sideration- The new standards being
set up are pretty certain to be more
rational than the old. and I am sure
that the outcome viii be an educa-
tional uplift
One Of the phases OF the war that
has had wonderful influence on the
problem OF education was the obliga-
ton placed upon the schools Of this
country to do their part in training
our soldiers. It has been found that
the making Of a soldier in a goth CEN
fury democracy is a far more COM
plicated problem than that faced in
any previous war. In addition to those
qualifications OF military discipline
and physical endurance which have al
ways been recognized as essential to
the soldier, the modern army must
provide high standards Of general in Z
relngences special scientific knowl- /
edge. and a wide range Of technical I
and mechanical skin. War is now a 1
contest OF science, engineering and 4
mechanism, as well as physical /
strength and strategy
Schools Train Men For War.
On our entrance into the war, the
lack of trained mechanics auonr fha
men called TO the colors was appalling
and our army organization found it.
self unequal to the task of training
these men In a short period Of time
without interfering greatly with the
commerce and industry Of the coun-
me country. At this point the schools
Of the country came IN and offered
their services in this big task.
AT first the government hesitated
70 accept this offer, fearing that the
sending OF soldiers in groups to the
.arlous technical schools would re-
move them too Tar from the influence
u the strict army camp drill and dis
sipline, and would delay the process
u making OF them the well trained
soldier needed. The need OF trained
mechanics was before them, however.

colleges with engineering DEPART
