and those attributes of character
that make for a pleasing persona
lily that is an asset both in bust
ness and industry and in order to
develop clear purposeful thinking
on the part of students they are
required during the school year to
participate in activities that will
promote the desire of results
Some of these activities r speech
before clubs, radio talks, indivi-
dual instruction in conversational
English, stressing how to convey
to the listener the ideas they in
tend to express clearly and effec-
lively.
Students are taken on trips to
various places of business in order
to get a more clear idea of men
at work. And also to enlarge their
fund of general information. Sue
cessful business and industrial
leaders have generously given of
their time and efforts and have
attended the regular class session
at the high school and given in
spirational talks and answered
questions both general and speci-
fic that the students have asked.
Personal Development
The employers are interested in
personal development of students.
Evidence is shown by the fact that
it was the suggestion of F. P. o.
Crowley, who has a student dry
cleaner, and H. A. Marks, who
has a student of diesel engine re-
pairing, that the mothers of the
students be invited to the luncheon
as the guests of the employers in
order that a special tribute might
be paid to them on Mothers day.
Some employers encourage thrift
ness by having the student start
his own bank account, Christmas
saving club or account in some
way for the spending of the salary
which he receives. Some students
assist with the family budget by
buying their w clothes, provid-
ing clothing or food for o h e r
members of the family, etc.
If the Is, 1000, 900 children of
school age in this country during
1886 e placed in a solid line,
it would extend from the northeast
coast of Maine to the southwest
coast of California, and according
to Professor Snyder, all except
those that stood in the latter state
did not go beyond the grammer
grades. Another purpose of this
Cooperative Employment program
is to develop each individual to
the most complete maturity a S
possible of all the powers of the
mind and body before leaving high
school. Another large percentage
of these Is, 900, 900 never got be-
You'd the high school.
Students are picked for i S
course because they do not plan
to attend any college. They find a
new interest in school life and
work and learn n a way t a t
keeps them from wanting to quit
high school before acquiring their
diplomas. Some strive to further
their new found interest in educa-
ton and preparing themselves for
the future. Former mechanics go
to engineering colleges to learn
more about the field in W h i C h
there was absolutely no hope for
them before they were given a
chance to get a look at the real
thing.
The idea of the program is to
find a job suitable for the student
and not to choose from the high
school student body students VINO
may look good on the certain jobs.
This problem is handled by T. T.
Hamilton, the principal, and the
coordinators. The student who has
