E. F. McGRAW DIRECTOR OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING North Dakota Industrial School, Ellendale, North Dakota. One of the gravest question to the thoughtful mind today is vocational education, its different aims and phases. During the past Winter a fir3t step has been taken in the advancement of Vocational Education in Rawlins. A night class in Blue Print Reading and Mechanical Drawing was organized under the State director of Vocational Education, primarily to benefit Railroad Shopmen. While this is a small part of the work bv ing done in other places it is a favorable start which may in the future develop into a larger field to benefit a greater variety of trades. The Manual Training Course which consists of Wood Work and Mechanical Drawing, is offered as an elective subject from the Fifth grade up to the two years in High School. Every boy should feel the need for this work, as the exactness required by all work, both drawing and mechanical, tend to make him more alert, both physically and mentally.

CLYDE D. COOK, B. A. DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Asotin (Washington) High School, 1915. State Col lege of Washington 1920. Baseball. 1916 17-19 20. Football 1917-19. Intercollegiate Debate, 1919-20. Sigma Chi Fraternity, Delta Sigma Rho, National Honorary Debating and Oratorical Fraternity. W. S. C. Gray “W” Athletic Club. The Department of Physical Education serves a vital function in the school system. Its primary object is to build boys and girls into better and more efficient men and women than they would otherwise be. It not only serves the school system as a whole, but i3 of much value in the conditioning of athletes before the official training season begins. In the development of athletes awkwardness is alw ays a serious element to be contended with among the candidates. No man can be trained to meet the constantly varying situations presented by athletic contests unless he has control of himself. The fall work, which consists of recreational games, apparatus, tumbling, etc., not only puts the boys in good physical condition, but eliminates some of the awkward 3trains found in all growing youths. To those who are anxious to make the basketball team next year, twfo or three months of hard gym work in the fall will be your greatest asset.
