Trade School The purpose of Vocational Edu- cation is to train young men for useful employment. Before enter- ing this twenty-four month course, these young men must have com- pleted two yearfof high school edt? cation and selected a vocation for which they desire preparation before entering as trained craftsmen. The Elkins High School Vocational Di- vision, one of the six divisions in West Virginia, was organized dur- ing September, 1937, with eight studentsg Eve more were added last fall. After finishing the course, the student is awarded a vocational di- ploma. lf the student has also com- pleted junior English and American history, he may receive a regular high school diploma. The morning classes of the El- kins Vocational School continue from eight to eleven o'clock during which time the students study me- chanical drawing, blue print read- ing, mathematics, vocational English and wood-working science. Each individual does his own work, and a class discussion is held when neces- sary. No set time is made for the study of any certain subject, but all work must be completed by a desig- nated date. The afternoon classes begin at one and end at four o'clock. This time is spent in the Wood working shop where cabinet making and mill work are done. Students do not work on individual projects but in groups much the way industrial or- ganizations function. The Elkins Vocational School has proved to be quite successful and has become an important factor in the education of this type of student. Elkins High School is quite proud of this addition to its curriculum. .HIGH i 'Hn Wm I ,Wat VV .T J!! 'QR - . 5 .. . .' .
