B. H. S. YEAR BOOK . Thirteen Vocational Training in the High School Does this High School need vocational training?', is a question which ought to ap- peal to every pupil as well as to every tax payer of our city. Vocational training is being advocated in the best high schools throughout the country and, as we are striv- ing for a bigger and better Bradford, why not at least make our schools better by add- ing vocational training to the curriculum of the High School? If you think that Bradford does not need vocational training in its schools, ask some of the students of the High School what he or she is in High School for or what they are going to do when they leave school. There will be many answers to these ques- tions. Some will say they are in school because their parents force them to go, others will say because of the friends they have in the school, still others will say be- cause they wish to have a good time. You will find a few pupils who are going to col- lege and expect to be benefited by the years they spend in this High School. Most of the pupils have a vague idea that they are going to work at something Most of the pupils expect to work at one thing or another till they find something they like to do and then stick to it. Few have any ideas given them by their High School Course. There is a wide range of subjects which could be taught in the High School which would give the pupil an insight and a start in some line of work. Electricians could be trained, as they are in many other schools, by having walls built, through which they should install wires and lighting connections. They could also have electric meters and motors for the pupils to study. Plumbing, machinery, sheet metal work, and other trades could be taught by having some of the tools and rooms with instructors to show the pupils how these should be handled. In this way the pupils would get good training and could learn to make many useful articles. These are onlya few of the trades that could be taught. There are enough trades that could be taught to benefit a large num- ber of the students, especially those who are not going to college and would like to learn a good trade in school. It is done in other cities. Why can't it be done in Bradford? WILLIAM DUNNE Q XX VI !!
