WOULD FAVOK VOCATIONAL
TRAINING WITH STATE All>
Seattle, Sept. 11—A plan for
state aid for the proposed pre-voca
tional and vocational system of edu
cation has been formulated by the
stato vocational commission, of
which I>r. Herbert G. Lull, profes
sor of education in the University
of Washington, is chairman. The
plan Is laid down in accordance with
the state's prevalent method of giv
ing aid according to attendance.
The commission suggests that for
every day's attendance, one and one
half days shall be allowed a pupil do
ing pre-vocatlonal work. For every
day's attendance, two days shall be
allowed every pupil doing vocation
al work. Since for every census
child there must be $10 raised by
the state, this distribution would
favor distinctly the pupil training
for the definite vocation.
For every evening's attendance, a
half day shall bo allowed every i>u*
[>il attending evening school. This
is the same a3 at present. The
privilege to organize evening schools
n the opinion of the commission,
:hould be extended to districts of
he second and third classes.
Stat© aid is to be provided, if on
he basis suggested by the commis
sion. from the regular state school
und (current school fund) to the
'.mount of $50,000 a year. Any
tmount beyoud that, the commission
>ro;H)Ses, should be met by state
evy, provided that all state aid
hall be used in paying salaries of
eachers who are engaged in teach
ng p re-vocational or vocation
ii branches, unless permission be
itherwise granted by the state su
perintendent of public instruction.
Phis provision has not yet been
idopted by the commission. Another
•rovision being considered is that b«
ore any school district may secure
tate aid it must make an initial
■ocational survey and surveys at
ertain times thereafter of its in
lustries and vocations, lu aocordanc
nth state departnieifc of education
ilans.
Tho typos of vocational acnoois
ntltled to state aid, as defined by
he commissioner's scheme, are:
're-vocational, which afford instruc
!on in agriculture, industries, and
lousohold arts in the seventh and
■ighth grades and even in the
linth grade, provided a yearly at
endance of at least 4,50A days be
eglstered In the pro-vocational
lepartment of one school; vocation
al high schools of departments; con
inuation schools or departments,
nirely staty ot co-operative. Where
iver the employer is called upon
or co-operative support, the voea
ional training of the student shall
>e limited to training In the particu
ar industry iu which he is engaged.
