Vocational Training AN INVALUABLE AID NOW and later to students interested in vocational work is the course in Mechan- ical Drawing. Here they Iearn how to present mechan- ical parts for others to read and understand while at the same time they develop the skills to read blue- prints and drawings themselves. Idle hands are the devil's workshop. This might well be the motto LOUIS AND HARTLEY STAND BACK and observe as Mr. Smith demonstrates the correct procedure for a lathe set-up. of the vocational department. The aim of this department is to give stu dents instruction in skills which require the use of physical as well as Necessary requirements for a boy entering a Smith-Hughes auto mechanics class are three years of junior high school shop or one year of senior high school auto mechanics. During the 1955-56 school year, three boys took on-the-job-training and Job Relations. These two courses must be taken together and one credit is given for each. On-the-job-training gives the student an opportunity to work out- side the classroom on school time in order to learn as much as possible about a specific job. Boys nnd their own jobs with the help of an in- structor. They are under the supervision of a coordinator who visits the student on the job and also works with the employer in the instruction of the pupil. job Relations consist of one hour of classroom instruction a day. At this time the co-ordinator teaches the student facts the employer has failed to properly specify.

Senior high school boys totaling 154 were enrolled in this year's vocational training program. This figure represents 65 percent of the boys attending senior high school. During the year, 17 classes were held in 12 subject fields including general classes in welding, electricity, cabinet making, drafting, printing and auto mechanics. Instruction in Smith-Hughes printing and auto mechanics, job relations and on-the-job-training was also provided. The Smith-Hughes program is designed to give boys more specific training in the field of their choice. These courses consist of textbook study balanced by actual training experience. Although the student spends three hours instead of one in a Smith-Hughes class, he receives only two and one-half credits because it is a laboratory, not a theory subject. Two such classes are offered to boys of Roosevelt High school. One year of general printing is the only requirement necessary to take Smith-Hughes printing.
