mSTHIHUTIVE EllUCATIDN CLASS Through the Distributive Education classes at George Washington High School, students are prepared for the field of distribution. Furthermore, these classes form an important link between the school and the community. Classes are held here in school, where they are taught retailing. Their downtown work in the stores is the laboratory part of the program, where they put into practice what they have learned in school. The downtown stores cooperate splendidly in the course. Thrifty students are taking advantage of this learn-while-you-work method. Some will continue their studies in college, recognizing the fact that retailing has become important as a profession. This training covers instruction in pleasant human relations, variety in experience, and a knowledge of the security of year-round employment. Also, the students realize wonderful opportunities for advancement. f 241
