Job Training
Escapes Note
OF Business

"The school program needs adj
vertiSing in the business commu-
nifty because business men do not
realize the vocational training
programs going on in schools"
John Stoy, partner Of Stoy,
Malone & Co., and a businessman
of Montgomery County, stated
the need following an explanation
of the vocational training pro-
gram in Maryland schools by
John Seidel, Assistant State
Superintendent f o Vocational
Education, at a meeting of the
Montgomery County Citizens
Committee on School Issues at
the HomeWood Recreation Center
on Mar. 2.
Mr.. Seidel described the high
school vocational program as an
Antioch program on a high
school level. In conjunction with
testing and close guidance work,
vocational students are given
practical projects in the 10th and
18th grades. In the 18th grade
they spend one-half of their time
in school and half the school day
in gainful employment arranged
for them by their vocational CO.
ordinator.
Twenty to 25 percent of these
students go on to college from
the 18th grade vocational course
because of the interest aroused
by their practical experiences.
Colleges are reporting that these
students are as successful or
better than the average student
from the academic courses. For
the remainder of the students, the
vocational program supplements
with evening courses.
Pointing out that this vocation
al training saves these students
from the blind alley or operator
type jobs, Mr.. Seidel listed the
steps in the educational process
which takes the vocational stu
dent from the uninformed level,
give him first appreciation, then
amateur status in his field and
then complete the job with skill
ed training leading to job COM
potency. Eighty-four percent of
the 18th grade graduates get
employment in jobs for which
they were trained.
The vocational students in the
Montgomery County n ools
which have established such
courses during the past four or
five years get 25 percent of their
item in academic subject; 25 per-
cent in related subject matter and
so percent in practical work.
It was this fact on which the
business community needed en-
lightenment, stated Mr.. Stoy. AS
a result of his personal survey
of the businessmen of this area,
he said that there was a fairly
general feeling that our schools
have been doing a poor job in
some fields, notably in teaching
the alphabet, use of English,
legible writing and an introduce
tory business and economics
course.
Businessmen were in agree
ment on these three points, he
volunteered: the need for voca-
tional training, some vocational
training for all students and the
cost of vocational training should
be part of our education. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Seidel the cost of
vocational education adds Is per-
cent to the school bill
Mr. Stoy concluded with the
charge that school people and
PTA people have taken defen-
sive attitude toward our schools

INepoI Crowns Mohendru Kino
In CoIorfuI Hindu Rites

AS priests chanted sanskrit
verses before a sacriflcial fire to
invoke Gods blessings, the gilt
tering pearl crown was placed
on Mahendra's head.
The new King has already
come to grips with the problems
facing his country. Last month
his father named him regent to
deal with a cabinet crisis arising
from the resignation of Prime
Minister Matrika Prasad Koirala.
While Tribhuvana had made
an imposing regal appearance,
unassuming. slender Mahendra
goes out of his way to mix with
the people in the street. He has
often appeared at civic and So
cial gatherings far from the
palace circle. His garb is often
Western style but always topped
off with the jaunty, conical
Nepalese cap. He drives a mod
est English automobile.
Mahendra is known as a pro-
ponent of radical land reforms,
a key to popularity in the feudal
Nepalese atmosphere. While

KATMANDU. Nepal. Mar. Is.
--Grief-stricken Crown Prince
Mahendra Biz Bikram assembled
the throne of this Himalayan
kingdom yesterday. He succeeds
his father, King Tribhuvana, 40,
who died Sunday after a heart
attack in Zurich, Switzerland.
The shy, 34-year-old, reform
minded new King holds a key
spot in South Central Asia. His
strategic mountainous kingdom
is buffer between India and
Communist-occupied Tibet.
He was crowned in accordance
with Nepal's Hindu religious GUS
tom-within "a hours after his
fathers death-at an hour-4:21
p.m.-fixed by religious leaders.
Obviously deeply moved, he ar
rived at the royal palace on a
path strewn with flowers by his
subjects. Tens of thousands
were there to pay homage to the
new monarch.
