SCHOOL OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING Dean C. H. Winkler of the School of Vocational Teaching has developed one of the most up-to- date teaching institutions in the country. This School prepares students for teaching in many fields; however, most of the graduates become teachers of vocational agriculture, county agents, or officials of the State in other phases of extension service. Students gather much practical work by teaching in the Training Schools located on the campus. Graduates of the Agricultural and Industrial Education courses meet the requirements of the State and Federal Boards for Vocational Educa¬ tion to teach Vocational Agriculture and Trades under the Smith-Hughes Act. Courses offered in this school include: Agricultural Education, Rural Educa¬ tion, Industrial Education, and Industrial Arts. C. H. Winkler
