Broader Vocational
Training for Youth
Projected by Board

A program for broader industrial
and vocational training for high
school boys of the county has been
projected by the Board of Educa-
ton, it was announced this week
by Willard l.. Hawkins, county SUI
perintendent of schools.
As reasons for this broader pro-
gram Mr.. Hawkins pointed out
the lack of academic talent and
interest, the growing jobless rate
among the unskilled. growing need
FOR all students to complete high
school education, the better ratio
of earning power to those who
complete high school, and rec
ignition that all children are net
interested in becoming scientists,
mathcmaticians, or professional
people and that skilled services
can command high wages.
The proposed program covered
three points: to reduce vocational
agriculture program to that which
can be taught by one teacher in
each school; provide more
varied industrial arts program for
junior high to include woodwork,
metal crafts, mechanical drawing,
fundamentals of electricity, related
sciences, machines, three to five
periods per week; and for senior
high boys to expand the program
in vocational fields where training
to become skilled workers can
be offered. Mr.. Hawkins suggested
these fields might include cleo
tricity, T. V. repair, electronics,
machine shop, furniture making
auto mechanics. study of building
trades, related sciences, with a
minimum of two hours per day.
The balance of the day would
be given to practical mathematics,
L. S. History, Problems of Democ-
racy. functional English and
health education.
In order to provide this pro-
gram there would have to be ade-
quate shop facilities. Present shop
space would have to be doubled
at cost of S15O,OOO or more, and
well trained teachers would be
needed.
MIR Hawkins said the need foc
this sort Of training becomes
more obvious every day as uE-
employment takes its toll among
unframed and unskillcd.

RECOGNIZING GOD
IN ALL THINGS

Every good and perfect gift is
from above, and cometh down from
the Father of light Such are
the words of St. James. How sad,
how pitiful, that SO many people
never stop to consider the source of
their blessings. They seem to feel
that they only have themselves to
thank for the many things they enjoy.
They have good health because they
have taken care of themselves. They
have nice homes because they have
been thrifty in saving to buy them;
they have bread because they have
earned it. They owe nothing to a
kind and loving Father.
The Illinois times. (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-19??, 1961-11-02

How badly they need to learn that:
Back of the loaf is the snowy flour;
And back of the flour the mill,
and back of the mill is the wheat
and the showers
And the sun, and the Fathers will. "
Yes, back of every blessing that we
enjoy: our health, bread, homes,
clothing ETC. is kind and protecting
Father. He sends the sunshine and
the rain; He ends the harvest, golden
grain; Sunshine and rain, harvest and
grain, He's our Friend"
To the readers of this column, if
you have not been mindful of the
source of your many blessings, if you
have not been accoustom to thanking
Him for what you have enjoyed from
day to day, begin this day to do SO.
Don't be an migrate. May be you do
not understand the many dogmas and
tenets about religion, may be you
are a bit confused about theology. but
you do not have TO understand the
many things about religion to be a
grateful and reverent person. Praise
God, from whom all blessings floy;
praise Him all creatures here below;
praise Him above We heavenly host,
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Everything comes from Him, let US
be thankful
