Sixty Schools Of Arizona Have
 Advantages Of Vocational Work

fitted to make q success of the work is very scarce. Students entering col lege should bear this in mind, for there is a wonderful field to work in for the one who is so fitted
 Besides the schools which attempt only agricultural training, there are 33 which teach home economies, six of which are part time, 19 all-day, and eight evening schools.
 Mir Skidmore is intensely pleased with the success of the plan. He feels that the work really is in its infancy, for the country is not yet fully alive to the great good which is being done, not only in the stabilizing of our young manhood but in the betterment of farming conditions and through this the raising of the type of person who engages in the work.
 One feels after listening to Mir Skidmore that the work could not be put in more capable hands He spoke glowingly of Carey E. Bowles, who is the supervisor of agricultural edu- cation. giving all credit to him for the progress which has been made.
 Mrs Slxidmore has accompanied her husband on his trip, and when he can find time from his more serious af fairs. they spend the time motoring about the surrounding country and taking in the different points of in- terest. At present they are guests at tne Hotel Adams.
Arizona republican., 1920-12-17

A tall. blue eyed, serious-faced young man is II. M. Skidmore. one can tell at d glance that he is engaged in a serious work and that he takes that work seriously. But not too se- riously. He had time to tell about his experiences in the different states to which his work takes him. where he finds himself shivering in zero weather one week and te next basling in sun shine. For MT. Skidmore, you must understand, is the agent of the agri- cultural department with the federal board for vocational educations He travels through the II most westerly states, and this is the end of the route. When he has finished here he will return to Washington, D. C., where he makes his home.
 We all know something about the vocational education program which is being carried out by the govern ment in the public schools, but not so much that q little more information will not be appreciated. For exam Dle how many realize that there are more than GO schools in Arizona which are working out the future of many of our boys and girls by giving them this chance? How many know that the federal board advances a certain sum toward the plan, and that each state or locality must advance a like sum before the work can be started?
