scholarship will not cover al Ibis
expenses, he would like to know
how to earn part Of his way. Or
would that affect his marks and

Just exactly what is vocation

rassed if you don't know the
answer. The truth of the matter
is that probably the majority of
the parents of school age chill

same boat as you.
Frankly, insofar as the over
whelming majority of American
educators is concerned, this is
not a good situation. You need
to know about vocational guild
ance and what it means because
you owe it to your children to
know.
Basically, vocational guidance

Did you know that when the
1860 Census is taken next April
it will mean a redistribution of
House seats among the SO
States for the 1862 elections :?
By Federal law, apportionment
of representatives in Congress
is determined on the basis of
population.
The 13 original states were
allotted total Of SIS represen-
tatives. This figure grew as
population and the number of
states increased. Finally, after
the 1910 Census, membership
in the House was fixed by stat
ute at 435.
This 86th Congress is tempo
rarily 437 due to the admission
of Alaska and Hawaii to the
Union. Under the current law,
the size of the House will re-
vert to 435 seats after the new
population figures for the
states are determined by the
1860 Census.
Pre- census projection by
the Census Bureau indicates
that Ohio will retain it's status
quo of % Congressman, and
even may gain one seat.
