Student Earnings
Are On The Increase

Delaware's senior high school
students engaged in distributive
and office occupations earned a to-
tai of $S,663.75 during the past
month, according to a report re-
leased this week by Harry @. Pack
er, supervisor of the programs. Mr..
Packer said this amount is nearly
$1,000 more than the wages. of all
the students engaged in the two
courses during September of 1949.
AT the same time, he disclosed the
use of new machinery in the high
schools to improve the quality of
work Of the students this year
These include telephone hook-ups.
tap recorders and other items that
are giving the commercial stu
dents practical experience in types
OF work in which they are found
deficient while engaged in on-the-
Job training.
S42 In Program
Mr.. Packer announced that 342
students were enrolled in the pro-
grams in the five high schools of
the state during September. Dis
tributive occupations students work
as clerks in commercial establish
ments while the Office occupations
course offers employment as stenOg-
raphers, boOkkeepers and other
positions in offices.
The telephones and tape record
ers are part of a new remedial
work system started this year, Mr..
Packer explained. Under the new
set-up, employers note the particu-
lar faults of their part-time en-
ployes, mark them on a report card
and submit the report to the school
officials at the end of each month.
Following the students return to
classes, a coOrdinatOr takes over
and gives individual instruction in
the phase of work where the defici-
ency is noted. Reason for the tele-
phone lookup is that some of the
students need schooling in 1.-THE only
means of communication many of
our business firms have with their
customers" the director of the pro-
gram pointed out.
The two telephones are powered
by a battery set. The student uses
ore phone and the teacher the
other. The student is presented
with the same TYNE Of problem he
or she may run into in a business
office when the phone rings.
