ing for this vocation. which gives life
employment to far greater number
of workers than do all the trades or
industrial occupations combined. is
SO rarely provided in our public
schools.
The Federal Board proposes as one
item of its current program to pro-
mote the extension OF vocational edu-
cation to comprehend the needs OF
women in the home, and thereby en-
able them to render social service by
the adequate performance of their du-
ties as homemakers.
For Farm Workers.
In agriculture the current program
of the Federal Board contemplates the
development of part-time education
adapted to meet the needs of boys and
men working on the farms. 1t pro-
poses to extend the public school sys-
tenn beyond the confines of the little
red schoolhouse'' and to take educa-
tion out into the field and into the
farm home itself. 1t proposes to ad-
Just our rural public school system TO
rural conditions. and to provide agri-
cultural training for the farmer ana
for his boy at such times, and in such
ways as will make it possible for the
farmer and for his boy to benefit by it.
In the field of commercial education
the program of the board proposes to
define commercial vocations in such a
way as will make clear to our public
school authorities that commerce is
something more than typewriting,
stenography and bookkeeping. Com
mercial vocations have a well-defned
and varied content. which should pro-
vide a basis for specific vocational in
struction.
Better Industrial. Training.
In the field of trades and industries
the present program of the board con-
templates a continuous enrichment of
our public school curriculum by ex-
tending the scope of vocational edu-
cation to embrace a large number of
ocupations. and by improving the
character of the training given In each
line. AS one phase Of the work in this
field the board Is cooperating with
several states in setting up schemes
of foremanship training, for which il
is generally recognized the need is
urgent.
Finally, the program of the board
contemplates the progressive extern
sion of vocational education as a
means of rehabilitating persons dis
abled in industry or otherwise. Vo-
cational education is not proposed as
a means of making the blind see, or
the deaf hear, or the lame walk, or
the sick well, but 1t is proposed as
means of rendering those disabled, in
any way fit to engage in remunera-
tive employment and to enter into
free and happy competition with their
fellow workers. - e-s -.

gagged in gainful pursuits now should
be about 44,00O.000: but reports of the
number actually employed fall far
short of this. Labor Department rec
ords show steady decline in en-
ployment and wages from January,
1920, to June. 1921. During the last
three months there has been a slight
gain in some lines, but further de-
clineS in others.
What and how much can legislation
or artificial respiration stimulate the
industrial situation? How many jobs
and positions can the unemployment

What is the root cf the difficulty? Is
an economic tonic sufficient, or is the
surgeons knife needed? Can the
problem be solved by human agency

ny EDWARD \. DINGLEY.

INCE the days when the Roman
emperors doled out food to the
hungry and angry to keep them
~ quiet for time governments
have been vexed with the problem OF
unemployment and the army of unem-
ployed. The modern wage system and
the age of machinery and mass pro-
duction have magnified this problem.
until today, not only in America. but
throughout the entire industrial
world, the unemployed constitute
not insignificant percentage OF the
population clamoring for food. cloth
ing and an opportunity to obtain bott
by tile sale of their labor. Nor is this
unemplovment confined to manual la =
Dor. 1t reaches out into the so-faiied
educated classes who have devoted
more or less time to fitting them
selves for mental labor in various
walks of life. until the query is raised
not infrequently. Does an education
pay? Will mental training, mental
equipment. bring it's just reward?
The United States is aroused again
to the serious consideration of this
tremendous economic problem, for 1t
touches the national welfare. NO
longer can the situation be handled
by charity or through charitable or
ganfzations. 1t is not sufficient to es-

Economists agree that while the
world war precipitated universal
economic disorder, the cause lies back
of that The war heavily decreased
the supply of world labor; and, under
tie law of supply and demand, the
demand should have increased. JOBS
