At Vocational Center
continued from page one)

in Sussex County VocationalTech-
nical Center and the apprentice
courses are being offered in Sea-
ford High School
The program at the Vocational
Technical Center is two-fold pro-
gram, both of major Importance.
The first is the day school pro-
gram for high school students and
second, the evening program for
adult students. The Board of
School Trustees for Sussex Coun-
ty VocationaI-Tech Center de-
sires to make the facilities at the
Center available to as many people
as can possibly use them and to
utilize the building as many hours
per day as possible, This is done
in order to realize as much good
use of the facilities as possible
since there is large financial in
vestment in the total facility.
The adult program this year will
operate a total of 144 clock hours.
For those people finishing h e
course this year, they will be given
a billfold-size card bearing their
credit. This card is only temporary
and will be replaced with a per-
manent diploma when the total
course has been finished T h e
Practical Nursing program f o r
adults appears to be the most pop
ular among all the courses offered
A total of 72 people, many of
whom are already working in hos
pitfalls, has enrolled for this course
Three teachers have been assigned
to teach this evening Practical
Nursing program for adults in the
Center. Mrs. Naomi Carlisle of Mil
ford Memorial Hospital and Mrs.
Mary Krum of the Hospital for the
Mentally Retarded have been en-
ployed as extra teachers to assist
Mrs. Mildred Isaacs. The day
school Practical Nursing course
offered to high school students has
also proved to be very popular
course among high school girls
and the enrolment here has reach
ed the proportion where the Board
of School Trustees is considering
adding a second teacher to the day
school program for this purpose.
Applications are now being re-
ceived for prospective teachers in
this field. Individuals interested in
teaching in the Practical Nursing
course must be a registered nurse
with some years experience and
have college degree.
The Arc Welding program at the
Center also proves to be very
popular among employed workers.
Though the facilities for Welding
are limited, the shop being very
small, a total of 20 individuals has
enrolled in this course and. have
paid the $5400 tuition charged for
the semester. The Welding course
is the most expensive course Of
fered at the Center and since the
worker is constantly using up the
material, charge of SIS per
clock hour or $54.00 per semester
is made for this course. In many
welding schools two individuals
are assigned to each we1din e
machine but at the Center only
one individual is assigned to each
machine and he is able to work
constantly for the three hours for
which he is enrolled per night. 1t
is the expressed hope of all Of
ficials for the Vocational-Techni
cal Center to make the adult pro-
gram of major Importance in the
overall pattern of training. Every
effort is being made to publicize
the program in order that as many
people may know of the facilities
as possible. That many people are
not being reached with this pub
licity is quite evident at the Center
with repeated telephone calls COM
ing in inquiring IF adult courses
are being offered?" They are being
Offered now! Now is the time to
