Plan for Part-time Work in
Glasgow Schools Outlined

Changes in methods for employ
ment of part = time students from
Glasgow high school were explained
in a statement issued this week by
Superintendent r. L. Irle, VINO
stated that there are some misun-
derstandings about the program. IL
has as its prime purpose giving stu
dents sales or office experience tnat
will benefit them in the future, ne
stressed.
Beginning this year, the pupils
working downtown under the feder-
al regulations for part-time employ
ment are divided into two groups,
he said. These are the commercial,
those working in offices doing stem
ographic and allied work, and the
sales forces, including not only
clerks but those working IN any !
the occupations that develop M
civic and vocational abilities OF the
worker"
The first group is under the direc-
ton of Miss Jean Johnston, mead OF
the commercial department, and the
second is under the supervision OF
Dell Heating.
Must Be Approved
Both groups receive school credit,
if they work at least Is hours a
week and secure a money wage COM
parable with that of other employees.
All placements are to be approved
by the coordinators and no credit
will be given at school to any pupil
who quits her job without permls-
sion Of the coordinators.
During the summer, some pupils
found positions without consent OF
a coordinator, since no c~oordlnator
was at work this summer. Conse-
quently, in some cases, these pupils
are not doing work for which they
are best fitted. Students who should
be selling are doing s~tenographic
work, and vice versa.
1T is the responsibility of the
coordinators to find the best niche
for each pupil and help him do a
job. If a student does
not appear to fill his job satisfac-
torily. he will be transferred to n
other. Employers wanting either Of
flee help or clerks should call the
high school office.
