VOCATIONAL AID.
URGED HERE
FOR YOUTH
School Head Urges Program
to Combat Evils Arising
From Unemployment

A program of vocational guild
ance and education for boys and
girls in the District to combat
the evils of the present prolonged
unemployment" was urged today
by Miss Fay L. Bentley, director
Of the department of school at.
tendance and work permits of the
Washington public schools.
Because it has no industrial
field, the District, she said, is
faced to a greater extent than
other cities with the problem of
caring for young men and women
who find themselves among the
unemployed after completion of
their education.
Cites Long Study
Miss Bentley advocated ap-
pointment of a placement officer
to make study of child employ
ment in Washington, declaring
that the results of her depart
ment's fi"e-year study into jobs
held by children under 18 years
of age would be helpful in etab-
fishing "a basis of fact on which
to build a sound and adequate
program" to meet District voca-
tional needs.
Ever since 1928, when the pres
ent child labor law was strength
ened, Miss Bentley's department,
under her supervision, has studied
the trend of child employment,
the kinds of jobs held by them,
the duration of their employ
ment and the turnover in jobs.
All this data is available in care
fully kept files in the Franklin
Administration Building.
Probes Made
In compiling this data, spe-
cial investigators of the depart
ment have inspected places of
employment each year and the
results of these inspections would
be made basic to give another
chapter to Washington educa.
