Distributive Education M S University of Arkansas B G STEPHENS Director of Vocational Education B S East Texas State Teachers College A very popular program in school was the Co-operative Part- time or Vocational Program. The more than seventy-five high-school students Who were enrolled in dis- tributive education and diversified occupations classes attended school in the morning and a job in the af- ternoon. This arrangement offered students the opportunity to obtain work experience and on-the-job training along with assistance in the choice of a suitable occupation. After the students had received suf- ficient advice, Mrs. Mosier and Mr. Stephens, their directors, then found jobs for them - the acid test of the pr'ogram's success. Many students not interested in straight academic work or high-school life were thus encouraged to remain in school. While working, the students could see the need for organized vocational training and could develop new attitudes toward responsibilities. This system also helped establish correct work habits and co-oper- ation with other Workers. The Vocational Program was organized with the counsel of advisory committees composed of employers, labor, and school representatives. Participating students were required to have completed the tenth grade and to be at least sixteen years old. Page 29 Ada Lou Anderson and Evelyn Rogers add to an attractive dis- play at S.H.
