The Distributive Education Club at Coe- burn High School is very similar to all the other state D. E. programs, which we operate on a state -wide plan affiliated with the Natioifal Distributive Education. In the D. E. Department, we strive to give the student class-room instructions which can be readily administered to his on-the-job training. In the classroom, the student receives in- structions in the following: job orientation, store salesmanship, advertising, store arith- metic, store speech, store ope rations, and customer services, merchandise information, and visual merchandise. The on-the-job training received by the student is aimed, not only to benefit the stu- dent, but also to give an educational asset to the community by having better trained per- sonnel in the field of distribution.
