ADMINISTRATION The School of - Vocational Teaching Dean C. H. Winkler The School of Vocational Teaching aims to prepare men for the teaching profession. It offers four-year courses in Agricultural Education, Industrial Education, Industrial Arts Education, and Rural Education. These courses enable teachers to qualify under the Federal Vocational Education Act to teach industrial arts or manual training, to become supervisors and directors for the trade and industrial schools, and to qualify as high school principals and superintendents. It is interesting to note that most of the men who are engaged in teaching vocational agricul¬ ture and in doing extension work in Texas are graduates of the A M School of Vocational Teaching. Many students of the school continue their training through graduate work, thus preparing themselves to occupy leading positions in the field of education. In order to assist graduates in securing suitable teaching positions, and to assist boards of education and other officials in securing teachers, the School of Vocational Teaching conducts a teachers’ appointment service. Dean Charles H. Winkler, who is Dean of the School, is also Director of the Summer Session and administers the duties assigned to him in a highly commendable manner. Practice Teaching Page 24

Thomas, Assistant Librarian, and a group of worthy assistants have rendered untold service to the student body and the members of the faculty.
