Raleigh, Aug. 18.-With people in
every section of the State clamOring
for more vocational education in the
high schools and with the Federal
government making available more
and more funds to help vocational
education, there is every reason to
believe that greater emphasis is go
ing to be placed on teaching children
how to do things than merely about
things in North Carolina, if the forth
coming General Assembly will only
make the appropriations needed to
match these Federal funds, according
to Director T. E. Browne. of the di-
vision of vocational education of the
State Department of Public Instruc-
ton. Director Browne has just return
ed from a conference on vocational
education in Washington, where the
operation of the new George-Dean law
was explained to State superinten-
dents and vocational education direc-
tors.
Funds Are Available.
The new GeOrge-Dean law, enacted
by the last Congress, sets up fund
of $14,2OO,OOO a year for an indefinite
period, to be distributed among the
various states to help them increase
their vocational education facilities
Of this fund, North Carolina is en-
titled to $496,851 a year, in addition
to it's present grant of 1892, 1903 year
under the Smith-Hughes act and in
which it is now participating, Browne
explained. This new amount of $685.
851 a year will not become available
until July 1, 1887, but will continue
indefinitely after that time. Another
advantage Of this new law is thai
from 1887 until 1913 the states will
have to match this fund only SO cents
on the dollar instead of dollar for dol
lar, so that it will only be necessary
for the General Assembly to apprOp
riate -249,425 for the State to get the
entire $496,851 and have a total Of
S746,276 available for the teaching Of
more vocational subjects in the State
such as agriculture, domestic science
woodworking, handicrafts, AUTOMOBILE
mechanics and so forth, that will en-
able boys and girls who do not wan
to go to college or who cannot go t.
college to earn good livings.
with the Federal aid now avail
able for vocational education in Nortl
Carolina, we can have a total of 81,
