That in itself describes the
"work-study" plan.
Sixteen per cent of the pupils
added that they had to work in order
to attend school, and work study"
was a solution of that problem.
Almost all the pupils reported
that they liked their preparatory
jobs for a few, work study" had
been a means of ascertaining in
school years at least one line of ac-
tivity which they might have under
taken as adults and in which they
would not be contented.
These young folk also reported
that the combined shop and school
experience was a means of develop
ing personality and character" of
learning how to "get along" among
people of various backgrounds and
ages, and of acquiring sense of
responsibility"
Quite evidently, therefore,
work study" is a method of train
ing in citizenship, along with it's
other pedagogical merits
The school department of New
York City has served its own COM
munity well in providing work

tensive curricula.
1t is serving the country well in
letting other communities know that
the plan is successful in operation

value.

Training Inn Usefulness

IN NEW YORK CITY, where the
"work study" plan of education
has been in successful use for several
years, the board of education has
made survey to determine anew
from the pupils themselves how and
why it benefits them.
The "work-study" plan is one in
which the student attends formal
classes part of the time, learning the
theory of vocation along with the
essentials of general education, and
has a job the rest of the time in some
private blishment in the same
line.
The pupil learns while he
earns" acquiring skill and expert
ence at his job while improving his
mind in the classroom.
In large number of instances,
the work study" job becomes per
manent following graduation from
school, with no interval of youthful
and often unguided job hunting.
The New York pupils were asked:
"Why did you join this course?"
Seventy one per cent replied that
they had chosen the eco operative
education" programs it is also
called-because they wanted the op-
portunity to apply practically the
technical training gained in school;
because they felt assured of better
post-school position than if they
lacked work study" training, and

1t is the immortal "Star Spangled Banner"

1t has become synonymous with the love of
freedom.
1t has become the beacon light of deliver

1t rekinded in the American spirit the
fame which glowed round the camp
fires which Graded our liberties.
1t is hailed today with Messianic heart

1t is destined through the ages to stir

The Star Spangled Banner leads us on Our

What mighty deeds it has inspired.
What martyrdom has been won beneath
its starry ensign.
What artist could portray this symbol of
the mightiest land of promise ever
given to man.
What writer is gifted enough to describe
the love we bear it.
Oh, so proudly we hail it.
