The V. E. A. (Vocational Education Act) of 1934 provides for the further development of vocational education as an emergency measure by appropriating three million dollars annually for three years allotted equally to agricultural education, economics, trade, and industrial education. The various classes of Bolton High School are designed to meet the ever-increasing educational needs along many lines of endeavor. There are classes in Home Science, Home Arts, Mechanical Drawing, and Fine Arts. Provision is made for students interested in business and commerce. A wide range of academic courses are provided which prepare students for college and eventually for leadership in the wide outside. The government’s emergency measure for education points clearly to the fact that upon the classes of today rests the responsibility for a leadership that will insure the nation’s welfare. 2«
