HE post-graduate course is given to any Indian high school graduate who has a commendable record and desires to continue his training. , There are 15 boys taking the course this year. Four of these are grad- uates of Sherman. The rest were graduated from other schools. The Federal Board of Vocational Training requires 2,000 hours of prac- tice and training before an award can be made, while Sherman requires stu- dents to spend 24,000 hours in training. The post-graduate spends enough or more time in his trade to make the required hours for a Sherman post-graduate award. ' The most important advantage of the course is that the student devotes full time to his trade whereas the regular high school student spends only half of his time. The post-graduate can start a job and push it through to the finish while the high school student's work is interrupted by his academic studies. Statistics show that approximately 50 per cent of all post-graduates find work in their trades outside of Sherman, only about 25 per cent of the regular high school graduates receive employment in their trades. 2 Student Hscripn HERMAN students not only learn to earn, but they learn also to spend, to live within their incomes. Training in earning and in spending are ac- complished at one and the same time through the institution two years ago of a system of scrip payment for all vocational work done as a part of their studies. As an incentive to improvement, to advancement, pay in scrip is based not only on length of training but on skill and proficiency-the better the work, the better the pay. The students are classified as helpers, apprentices, journeymen, and fore- men. The hourly pay .for these ratings is 22 cents, 24 cents, 26 cents, and 27 cents respectively. Th1s 'scr1p buys for the students every service received on the grounds-haircuts, laundry, shoe repairs, clothing, board and room enter- tainment and what not. This svstem has proven both effective and popular. The weeklyspay-day is looked foirward to by the students with the same interest as prevails in the actual work-day world. -FQfiy-e4q!1f-
