npfKA rgen fid rC MISS LETHA CLEWELL English PLANS FOR VOCATIONAL COURSES A primary step in vocational education will be taken at the Argentine High School next year. A curriculum embodying the ideas of industrial training is being worked out. In connection with this, a greater opportunity for training in a specialized line of work will be offered to the students. Argentine, situated as it is, in an industrial center, offers many opportunities for industrial work. The Santa Fe will credit hour for hour all time spent in the wood working department toward a carpenter apprenticeship to any high school graduate. Room for a machine shop will be provided in the new building now under construction, and the Santa Fe has offered to credit time spent there toward a machinist apprenticeship. This will be even more of an inducement for students to remain in school for at least a high school education. It is the feeling of many educators that the high schools do not offer enough vocational training and Argentine is falling in line by offering a curriculum of semi'vocational training to those who wish to go from the high school directly into the industries or into business. This vocational work is to be a follow'up of the trades information work in the Junior high school. For the girls, a course in home making is to be introduced. This will consist of sewing and cooking and matters pertaining to the selection of foods and clothes. A certain amount of it will be required of every girl beginning with junior high school grades.
