THE AGAWASIt DEFENSE TRAINING I Defense Training In North Dakota Last July the State Hoards for Vocational Education of every state in the Union were charged with the responsibil ity of organizing Refresher programs and supplementary instruction courses for men with previous experience for the purpose of preparing them for employment in industries essential to National Defense. Courses were immediately established in July at the State School of Science and soon afterwards at other points in the State where training facilities were available. In October of 1940, Congress appropriated additional funds for the further expansion of Defense 'Training Programs. Again the State Hoard for Vocational Education was given full responsibility for the promotion and organization of additional types of Defense 'Training Programs. 'The State Staff for Trade and Industrial Education was charged with full responsibility by the State Hoard for the immediate organization and general administration of courses, under three subdivisions of the Act. Refresher programs under Subdivision (I) were expanded and have been in session continuously ever since. Subdivision (4) of the Act provided for certain types of vocational courses for out-of-town rural youths between the ages of 17 and 25. Subdivision (5) of the Act provided for certain types of vocational courses for young people employed on Work Projects of the National Youth Administration. Both of these programs were given immediate attention and courses arc now in session in every section of the state. At the time that a general statement on defense training was prepared for the Aga-wasie. approximately 2000 people were in training in various types of courses essential to national defense. A map of the state posted in the state office in the 'Trades building showed courses in operation in every section of North Dakota. New Trade School Building At Night Night classes were held in this building throughout the year preparing men with previous experience for specific pay roll jobs in industries essential to national defense.
