 ~ VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN THE STATE OF OHIO. 
 
 | To the Federal Board for Vocational Education: 
 
 The State Board of Education of the State of Ohio hereby submits 
 to you (1) the facts about the acceptance of the Smith-Hughes act by the 
 State of Ohio and (II-V) the plans of this Board for the administration 
 
 II. 
 
 of the act in this state. 
 
 i 
 
 Acceptance of the Act. 
 
 a. The benefits of the Smith-Hughes act were accepted 
 by the General Assembly of Ohio in an act which has been 
 incorporated into the General Code of Ohio as sections 367-1 to 
 367-7. 
 
 b. Section 367-7 of this act designates the state treasurer 
 as custodian of all funds received from the United States 
 treasury under the terms of the Smith-Hughes act. 
 
 c. The said act of the General Assembly accepts the pro- — 
 visions of the Smith-Hughes act by its title, and specifically 
 accepts the benefits of funds appropriated in sections 2, 3 and 4 
 of the Smith-Hughes act. 
 
 General Plans for Administration. 
 
 a. I. Said act of the General Assembly creates a State 
 Board-of Education and clothes that Board with “all necessary 
 authority to cooperate with the federal board for vocational edu- 
 cation * * * in the administration of the funds provided 
 by the federal government.” The authority of this Board is 
 confined to the forms of education aided by the Smith-Hughes 
 act, so this Board is a board for vocational education, 
 
 2. Composition of the board: By law six persons ap- 
 pointed. by the Governor, with the Superintendent of Public 
 Instruction as an ex-officio member and secrefary. 
 
 3. The State Board of Education has designated its secre- 
 tary (the Superintendent of Public Instruction) as its executive 
 officer ; he is to be held responsible to the State Board of Educa- 
 tion for administrative duties pertaining to all matters which 
 are under the jurisdiction of this Board. 
 
 4.- The policy of the State Board of Education when 
 funds are available will be to designate a vocational director 
 who shall have general charge of all departments of vocational 
 education within the jurisdiction of the State Board of Educa- 
 
 3 
 
IIT. 
 
 ec a ae 
 
 tion and who shall be responsible to ‘the 
 tion through its executive officer. — - 
 
 -b. Supervision - of Agricultural Ec 
 present fiscal year part of the time of one p won 
 professors of agricultural education in the College of Agricul” 
 ture of Ohio State University will be utilized by the State Board — 
 of Education for the direction and supervision of the teaching . 
 of agriculture under federal aid. As much of the ‘time of such — 
 man or men as is devoted to this purpose will be spent. entirely 
 at the direction of the State Board of Education. A written | 
 agreement containing such provisions as are suggested in Memo. — 
 C, Sec. I: X, issued by the Federal Board for Vocational Educa-~ 
 tion, will be secured from Ohio State University by the State. 
 Board of Education. The ultimate policy of the Board to bez, 
 realized when funds are available will be to secure full- time. 
 supervisors independent of any institution. é 
 
 ce. Supervision of Education for Trades and Industries: 
 The State Board of Education will designate a competent super- 
 visor of industrial education. Because of the form of the Ohio 
 laws and appropriations such official must be named by the- 
 Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Superintendent of — 
 Public Instruction is, however, also secretary and executive 
 officer of the State Board of Education. The Superintendent 
 of Public Instruction agrees also (1) to make the appointment 
 subject to the confirmation of the State Board of Education - 
 and (2) to formally assign to the State Board of Education the 
 services of the supervisor of industrial education. 
 
 d. Supervision of Home Economics Education: The ulti-\ 
 mate plan will be to designate a supervisor of home economics 
 education. For the present- year, however, this work will be 
 assigned to the supervisor of industrial education. Home. 
 economics education is fairly well developed in this state and 
 there are relatively many cornpetent home economics teachers; 
 it is not believed that much work will be subject to aid this year, 
 
 -except in evening classes. | 
 
 Plans for Agricultural Education. 
 a. General conditions. 
 
 7 
 
 1. Must be in schools or classes under aublic super ‘ 
 vision or control. 
 2. Must have for its controlling purpose to fit for 
 useful employment on the farm. 
 3. Must be of less than college grade. : 
 4. Is designed for persons over fourteen years of 
 
 ~~ 
 
~ age who vc entered upon or who are preparing to enter 
 upon the work of the farm or of the farm home. 
 
 ¢ 
 ~ 
 
 of state or local money or both. 
 
 6. All of the money mentioned under III, a, 5, (just 
 above) of these plans is to be expended only (a) if appro 
 priated under section 2 of the Smith-Hughes act or used’ | 
 to match such appropriation, for the salaries of teachers 
 
 and of supervisors or directors of agriculture; (b) if ap- 
 propriated under section 4 of the Smith-Hughes act or — 
 used to match such appropriation, for the maintenance of — 
 
 teacher-training for teachers, supervisors and directors of 
 
 agriculture; ‘but no portion of this money isto be used 
 directly or indirectly for the purchase, erection, preserva- ° 
 tion or repair of any building or buildings or equipment, or 
 for the purchase or. rental of lands, or for the support of 
 any religious or privately owned or conducted school or — 
 college. | 
 
 b. See II, b— (Page 4). Under the plan there stated. 
 part of the time of the man or men utilized as supervisors of 
 
 agriculture would be used for that purpose and part of the time 
 
 for teacher-training. The State Board of Education plans to~ 
 pay half of the salaries of these men for the time actually spent 
 in teacher- -training under the plans stated in k below from the 
 federal funds and half from the funds appropriated by the. 
 state. Such an arrangement will be covered by contract. 
 
 c. Kinds of-schools: 
 
 1. Agricultural schools of approximately high school 
 
 grade. 
 
 2. , Agricultural departments of high schools. 
 
 3. Agricultural departments of secondary schools con- 
 ducted by the state normal schools: 
 
 4. In any one of the above named agricultural schools 
 or departments short term courses at the school may. be 
 
 3 established to meet the needs of workers. 
 
 5. Part-time schools and evening classes may be es- 
 tablished in connection with schools of any one of the pre- 
 ceding types for the purpose of giving instruction to those 
 not enrolled in full-time classes. 
 
 d. Plant and equipment: The local school authorities are 
 to furnish the building, the equipment and the utensils necessary | 
 to carry out the work planned. The State Board of Education 
 
 5. Every dollar of federal funds used for agricultural ZA ae 
 education and for the training of teachers of agriculture 
 under the Smith-Hughes act will be matched ue a dollar 
 
 au 
 
has prepared a minimum canta rene list t that will be re 
 for these schools. In addition to the usual equipment of Schon! nes 
 rooms and science laboratories for non-vocational courses agri- | or 
 cultural apparatus and equipment to a value of at least $250. 9S 
 will be required. The State Board of Education will require — 
 such equipment as is necessary to do satisfactory Work. "2 Sas 
 
 x nd a ec. Minimum for maintenance: . 
 
 yg ae 1. The local school authorities are to furnish means to _ 
 keep the equipment up to its initial efficiency, to add new 
 eae Bese equipment, to provide the upkeep on all buildings used, to a 
 a provide salaries of the non-vocational teachers and such | 
 igi eet part of the salaries of vocational teachers as is required | 
 Bite ta in the plan for reimbursement. : Se 
 fer ees 2. At least one qualified teacher of agriculture must ee 
 
 be employed for the twelve months in the year, but may. 
 ‘be granted a vacation of not to exceed four weeks at any 
 Pie time when his supervision of the pupils is least needed. 
 Bree A 3. . Other teachers must be employed bythe local board” 
 
 i of education of sufficient number and quality -to maintain 
 EO Se high standards of work in all respects. 
 
 See f. Courses of study: 
 
 GS _I. Approximately one-third of ‘the time of the stu-_ 
 Le dents in full-time day schools will be given to non-voca- — 
 peer tional subjects, one-sixth to science related to agriculture, — 
 Sh ee po eee and one-half to class-room study of agriculture and prac-_ 
 
 Spgs tical work, including project work. This project work will 
 
 ee ~ be carried on in-connection with the work in school. The~ 
 
 bea vocational agriculture courses will be of less than college 2 
 Rtas we ; grade in reality more than in name; the simpler principles ee. 
 =. aie will be taught, and the work will be adapted to the com- _ 
 
 munity. No federal money will be used for the teaching 
 of non-vocational subjects or sciences related to agriculture. 
 
 2. The courses of study for part- -time or evening — 
 2 classes will be planned to meet local needs, ee a 
 
 g. Methods of instruction: The instruction will be See 
 carried on partly in the class-room, partly i in the laboratory, by 2a : 
 visits to farms in the community and by practical projects. In + ag 
 all of the instruction in agriculture cinagcle will be placed « on sau 
 the practical ends of the work. ; 
 
 : h. Qualifications of teachers; Each teacher of agriculture - ok 
 
 Pd toward whose salary federal aid is paid must be a graduate of < 
 . . a four-year course in a standard agricultural college approve art 
 
 by the State Board of Education and must have had two Ore 
 
 ae. ‘t 7 
 
7 
 
 of practical experience on the farm since reaching the age of 
 fourteen. An approved agricultural college must require agri- 
 
 cultural subjects and related science to the extent of at least ~ 
 
 fifty per cent of the curriculum. The State Board of Educa- 
 tion reserves the right, however, to recognize a teacher who has 
 an equivalent education. By law no one can hereafter secure 
 a high school certificate or special certificate in agriculture valid 
 outside of a city district who has not had at least 10 hours (1/3 
 year) of work in professional educational subjects, nor after 
 1919, one-half. year. 
 
 i. Qualifications of supervisors or directors: The same — 
 
 as for teachers, with the additional requirement of at least two 
 years of teaching experience after graduating from college. 
 
 j. Supervised practical work: At least six months of 
 supervised practical work in agriculture will be maintained each 
 year and will constitute a part of the courses of study. This 
 
 work will be for the most part project work conducted on the 
 
 home farms. The project work will aim at definite conclusions 
 applicable to real working conditions. The teachers of agri- 
 
 culture will supervise this practical work during the period §— 
 
 that the school is not in session. Forms of record applicable to 
 much of this work will be prescribed. 9 
 k. Plans for training.teachers: The work of training a 
 teacher of agriculture is of such a nature that at the present 
 time only the College of Agriculture of Ohio State University 
 can in this state accomplish it in its entirety. 
 1. The training of teachers of agriculture shall be 
 under the supervision of the State Board of Education. 
 2. The teacher-training for the preparation of teachers 
 of vocational agriculture shall be given only to those who 
 have had an experience of two years on the farm. after 
 reaching the age of fourteen. Only those who have com- 
 pleted a first grade (four-year) high school curriculum will 
 be admitted to the SEE Eu! designed to train teachers of 
 agriculture. 
 3. The teacher-training curriculum will be of ae 
 years in length and will include: 
 
 (a) Scientific agricultural work to at least forty 
 per cent. This will include agricultural chemistry, 
 soils, agricultural engineering, animal husbandry, dairy- 
 ing, entomology, farm crops, horticulture, and rural 
 economics. 
 
 (b) Related science work such as zoology, 
 
 botany, chemistry, mathematics, physics and geology. 
 (c) English, economics, ete.

 I. Educational sivchtey 3 semester Gores. aes. 
 II. Vocational agricultural education, 3 semester _

 III. Principles of teaching, 3 semester hours. 
 IV. School administration, 2 semester hours. 
 V.° Rural sociology, 3 semester hours. 
 VI. Practice teaching and observation of teach- 
 ing, 4 semester hours. eras 
 4. The State Board of Education purposes using the 
 agricultural departments of one or more rural or village high <= 
 schools for practice teaching in agriculture. Such schools 
 will qualify in all respects for federal aid for agricultural 
 education under section 2 of the Smith-Hughes Law. Aid 
 will be extended to these schools partly under that section. 
 Besides, as their carefully.selected teachers of agriculture 
 will act as critic teachers in the teacher-training work of the 
 University and State Board of Education, their salaries will 
 be paid in part from the funds for the maintenance of — 
 
 being matched with state funds). It 4s understood that a 
 detailed statement of- this arrangement will be submitted | 4 
 
 5. Graduates of the curriculum for teacher-training 
 supervised by the State Board of Education must complete ~ 
 136 semester hours of work as roughly outlined in 3 above. 
 
 6. Those who satisfactorily complete the curriculum 
 above outlined will be granted state provisional certificates 
 in agriculture. After 24 months of successful teaching on 
 such certificates they will be granted life certificates. 
 
 1. Method of reimbursement: 
 1. Under section 2 of the Smith-Hughes Law — 
 
 (a) Relatively few schools will be encouraged to 
 try to qualify this year and the endeavor will be to — 
 make them as good as possible and models for schools. 
 
 _ to be later brought under the State Board of Educa- X ; : 
 tion. a 
 
 (b). This fiscal year possibly as high as 100 per 
 cent of the salaries of qualified full-time agricultural 
 teachers in such schools may be paid by the State Be 
 Board of Education, 50 per cent of this coming from _ z 
 federal funds and 50 per cent from the state, funds iat 
 appropriated to match them, — Sas: 
 
- (c) The reimbursement in the next fiscal year 
 (1918-1919) will be for not over 80 per cent (40 per 
 cent from federal funds) of salaries not under $1,200 
 or over $1,800 for full-time service. If salaries higher + 
 that $1,800 are paid the reimbursement will be the 
 same amount as for $1,800 salaries. 
 
 (d) Payment will be in the form of reimburse- 
 ment for expenditures already incurred to such schools 
 
 as have been approved by the State Board of Educa- — 3 
 
 tion under the plans approved. by the Federal Board for 
 Vocational Education. 
 
 2. Under section 4 of the Smith-Hughes Law — 
 
 (a) Probably not more than 25 or 30 per cent, 
 certainly not over 60 per cent, of the funds appropriated 
 for teacher-training will be used for the training of. 
 teachers of agriculture. 
 
 IV. Plans for Education for Trades and Industries. 
 a. General conditions: 
 
 1. Must be in schools or classes under public supervision 
 or control. 
 2. Must have for its controlling purpose to fit for useful 
 employment in trades and industrial occupations. 
 3. Must be of less than college grade. . 
 4. Is designed to meet the-needs of persons over 14 years _ 
 of age who have entered upon or who are preparing to enter — 
 upon employment in trades and industries. 
 5. Every dollar of federal funds used for education for 
 trades and industrial occupations and for the training of teachers. 
 of the trades and industrial occupations under the Smith-Hughes 
 
 Law will be matched by a dollar of state or local'money or both. > 
 
 6. All of the money mentioned under IV, a, 5, of these 
 plans is to be expended only ‘ 
 
 (a) If appropriated under section 3 of the Smith- 
 Hughes Law or used to match such appropriation, for the 
 salaries of teachers of trades and industrial subjects, which 
 will include shop work and related technical subjects such 
 as shop mathematics, shop drawing and applied science. 
 
 (b) If appropriated under section 4 of the Smith- 
 Hughes. Law or used to match such appropriation, for the 
 maintenance of teacher-training for teachers of trades and 
 industrial subjects; but such maintenance is not to include 
 items prohibited under section 17 of the Smith-Hughes Law. 
 
b. Division of funds: a 
 
 1. The Ohio State Board of Eateibe will eadeayae toca 
 make use of more than one-third of the funds appropriated for — : 
 this state under section 3 of the Smith-Hughes Law for part- 
 time schools and classes; the act provides that at least-one-third 
 must be so used, if used at all. 
 
 2. Not over 20 per cent of the federal fut appropriated 
 for this state under said section 3 can be used for home 
 economics education. The Ohio State Board of Education will — 
 use less than that amount for that purpose. Le 
 
 c. Kinds of Schools: 
 
 1. Day schools not on the cooperative plan. The follow-_ 
 ing restrictions apply to such schools: 
 
 (a) They. must have a term at least nine months in a 
 length. 
 
 (b) The instruction must be for not less than 30 ey 
 hours. per week. ( he 
 (c) One-half of the time must be devoted to prac- fo. 
 
 tical work on a useful or productive basis. 
 (d) Plant and equipment: The local school authori- 8 
 ties are to furnish the building and equipment necessary to 
 carry out the work planned. The amount and value of <a 
 “equipment needed varies according to the trades taught and : 
 the completeness with which they are taught. The equip- 
 ment for teaching each trade must include what is adequate 
 to carry on a definite trade-preparatory curriculum. The 
 value of such equipment will ordinarily amount to from 
 $1,500 to $5,000 for each trade or industrial occupation — 
 which employs power machinery or other large equipment. ~~ 
 (e) Minimum for maintenance: (1) The local ~ be 
 school authorities are to keep the equipment efficient and ag 
 up to all standards established by the State Board of Edu- ~ me 
 cation for the particular work to be done, they are to pro- 
 vide the upkeep on all buildings used, the materials re- 
 quired in the vocational work, the salaries of non-vocational 
 teachers, and such part of the salaries of vocational teachers 
 as is required in the plan for reimbursement. (2) The 
 amount to be paid for salaries of vocational teachers de- 
 pends upon the scope of the instruction. ; 
 (f) Course of study: (1)  Curriculums shall be 
 planned to meet the needs of the local community in respect 
 to education for trades and industrial occupations, but upon 
 occasion the work may be adapted to méet emergency needs 
 of wider scope. (2) At least one-half of the time must 
 
II 
 
 be devoted to practical work on a productive or commercial 
 
 basis. (3) The curriculum must include technical work 
 
 related to the practical manipulative work. This will 
 
 usually occupy about 25 per cent of the school day. (4) 
 
 Each curriculum for the training of workers in a particular 
 trade or industrial occupation must be approved by the 
 
 State Board of Education. 
 
 (g) Methods of Instruction: The instruetion will 
 include practical work or shop work carried on under stand- 
 ards as nearly like those in a commercial establishment for 
 the given industry as is practicable in a school shop. This 
 will usually involve the production and distribution of a . 
 
 > product in something like commercial quantities. Much of 
 
 this product, such as furniture, plumbing and lighting in- 
 stallations, printing, book-binding and apparatus parts, can 
 be utilized in the schools of the given district. The tech- 
 nical work will be related as closely as possible to the prac- 
 tical work, gaining its motive and drawing its illustrations 
 therefrom, and in many cases functioning again in the prac- 
 tical work. . 
 
 (h) Teachers of trades and industrial subjects will 
 be required to hold special certificates for the particular 
 work which they are teaching. These certificates will be 
 issued by city boards of examiners, county boards of ex- 
 aminers, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction 
 and the State Board of School Examiners under the rules 
 of the State Board of Education. (The present laws of. 
 Ohio place such restrictions on county boards of examiners, 
 which govern the certification of teachers in places of under 
 5,000 population, as will make it almost impossible to get 
 candidates for such certificates; the Legislature will be 
 asked to enact a section giving county boards of examiners _ 
 power to cooperate with the State Board of Education in — 
 carrying out the special rules for certificating such teachers ; 
 under existing laws the State Board of Education can con- 
 trol certification of such teachers through the other agencies 
 mentioned.) These rules will provide: 
 
 (1) A certificate special in trade technical sub- 
 jects, to be issued to one who has completed an ap- 
 proved curriculum in a college of engineering or junior 
 college of engineering or an approved technical course, 
 other than a short unit course, in such an institution 
 as the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Armour In- 
 stitute of Technology, Dunwoody Institute, Drexel 
 
12 , ‘ 7 Pa ¥ - 
 
 Institute or Stout Institute, ana who has Sean such 
 an examination in the theory and practice of teaching SF 
 and in technical subjects or who has fulfilled such con- — 
 ditions as to training as the given certifying body with ~ 
 the consent of the State Board of Education may 
 prescribe. | 
 
 (2) A certificate special for teaching a given 
 trade, which shall carry authority also to teach related 
 shop mathematics and drawing, to be issued to a per-. 
 son who has completed at least five years of experience 
 in the given trade or a related trade and who has 
 passed such an examination, oral or written, as the 
 State Board of Education may prescribe. 
 
 (1) Modifications of above plans which will be per- 
 mitted in cities and towns of less than 25,000 population: 
 
 (1) The schools in these cities and towns must 
 prepare for useful employment in the trades and in- 
 dustries, but are not required to be so distinctly trade 
 preparatory schools for particular industrial occupa- 
 tions as those in cities of greater population. 
 
 (2) The hours of instruction per week may be re- 
 reduced to 25 in particular schools if deemed advisable 
 after the conditions in the given schools have been con- . 
 sidered by the State Board of Education. sae 
 
 (j) Method of reimbursement: 
 
 (1) Few schools will be encouraged to try to 
 qualify this year and the endeavor will be to establish = 
 high standards in the trade and industrial work that aa 
 is undertaken. 
 
 (2). This fiscal year possibly as high as 100 per 
 cent of the salaries of qualified full-time technical and 
 trade teachers in such schools may be paid by the State 
 Board of Education, 50 per cent of this coming from 
 federal funds and 50 per cent from the state funds 
 appropriated to match them. 
 
 (3) The reimbursement in the next fiscal year 
 (1918-1919) will be for not over 80 per cent (4o per | 
 cent from federal funds) of salaries not under $900 or 5 
 over $1,800 for services the full time the school is in 
 session. If salaries above $1,800 be paid the reim- 
 bursement will be the same amount as for $1,800. 
 salaries, 
 
el 3 13 
 
 (4) Payment of the salaries’ of part-time 
 teachers in day schools will be aided pro rata on the 
 above basis for the portion of the school day or school 
 term they are employed. 
 
 (5) Payment will be in the form of reimburse- 
 ment for expenditures already incurred to such schools 
 as have been approved by the State Board of Educa- | 
 tion under the plans approved by the Federal Board 
 for Vocational Education. 
 
 t-a. Day schools on the cooperative plan: The distinction made ~ 
 in Memo C, Sec. III :II, issued by the Federal Board for Voca- 
 tional Education is accepted as to the classification of such 
 schools. The following restrictions apply to such schools as™ 
 under that definition are to be considered all-day schools.  ‘ 
 (a) They must have a term at least nine months in 
 length. 
 (b) The instruction must be for not less than 30 
 hours per week. 
 (c) One-half of the time must be devoted to practical 
 work on a useful or productive basis. 
 (d) Plant and equipment: (1) The local school 
 authorities are to furnish the building or rooms necessary 
 
 to carry out the instruction at the school and to provide fae 
 
 such equipment as may be needed to supplement the ex- 
 perience gained in the cooperating shops. (2) Oppor- 
 tunity must be afforded in the cooperating shops to use 
 machines or equipment in some proper sequence. 
 
 (e) Minimum for maintenance: (1) The local 
 school authorities are to keep the equipment at the school | 
 efficient ; they are to provide the upkeep on the school build-. 
 ings or school rooms used, the salaries of non-vocational 
 teachers, and such part of the salaries of vocational teachers 
 at the school and in the shops as is required in the plan | 
 for reimbursement. (2) The equipment in ,the shops 
 must be maintained at such a standard and must be devoted 
 to the school’s purposes to such an extent as to facilitate — 
 work of a high grade. (3) The school must maintain 
 vocational teachers at the shops who will have charge of 
 the students, their activities and their instruction all of the 
 time they are working in the shops. (4) The amount 
 to be paid for salaries for vocational teachers depends upon 
 the scope of the instruction.

 (g) Methods of instruction: The instruction will in = 
 
 clude shop work carried on largely in commercial shops, but — 
 directed by vocational teachers of the school. The various 
 trade processes will be mastered systematically. The tech- 
 nical work taught will be related closely to the practical 
 work, |

 (Il) Trade preparatory classes, designed pri- 
 marily for workers under eighteen years of age who 
 desire to change to a more promising industrial em- 
 ployment. 
 
 (III) General part-time classes designed to in- 
 crease the vocational or civic intelligence of workers 
 over fourteen and under eighteen years of age.

 struction hours of which shall be devoted to the 
 
 instruction and subject to the standards applying to

 i (1) For schools of type (1), (1), the same as 
 Be : IV, c, 1a, (d) — (page 13.) 
 
 | . (II) For other part-time schools and classes the 
 rooms and equipment including shop equipment may 
 either be provided by the local school authorities them- 
 selves or secured by them from employers. The State 
 Board of Education will determine in each case 
 whether the facilities offered are adequate for the par- 
 ticular purpose. 
 
 (e) Minimum for maintenance: 
 
 (1) For schools of type I, (1) :\the same as IV, 
 c, Ia, (€),— (page 13) —-with the omission of (3). 
 
 It is proposed that codrdinators who spend their time in part in 
 teaching shop work or related work in the schools and in part in direct- 
 ing work in the shops and in seeing that the students are properly assigned ~ 
 
 and that neither the work of the shop nor that of the student is inter- 
 rupted shall be regarded as full-time teachers and that aid shall. be 
 given on their salaries the same as on the salaries of full-time teachers. 
 
 (Il) For schools and classes of the types described 
 initV; 6.2, €c); Gy; t2),-and TV, 6 2)te Ce 
 (page 15); (1) Local school authorities or manufac- 
 turers acting for them shall supply proper upkeep on > 
 suitable rooms, and sufficient illustrative and working 
 material. (2) Local school authorities are to pay 
 such part of the salaries of the teachers (who will be 
 vocational teachers) as is required in the plan of reim- 
 bursement. (3) The amount to be paid for the. 
 salaries of teachers will depend upon the amount of 
 time they devote to the work, but it can be expected 
 to amount to $108 or more for a minimum course of 
 144 hours. 
 
 (III) For classes of the type described in IV, c, 
 2, (c), (IIL) — (page 14): (1) The local school au- 
 thorities or manufacturers acting for them shall supply 
 suitable rooms. (2) The local school authorities are 
 _ to supply suitable equipment and such parts of the 
 salaries of the teachers as is required in the plan for 
 reimbursement. (3) ‘The amount to be paid for the 
 salaries of teachers will be somewhat greater than 
 that paid for a like amount of work in-an ordinary 
 day school. 
 (£) Courses of study: The types of part-time 
 
e 16 
 
 schools as above enumerated are largely differentiated by a; 
 
 their courses of study. The courses in schools of the first 
 type enumerated (see page 14) will be similar to those of 
 
 all-day schools on the cooperative plan. The courses in 
 classes of the second type provide training in subjects sup- 
 
 plementary to the work done by the students in the industry. 
 The courses in the classes of the third type are designed 
 to teach elements of trades. The courses in classes of the 
 fourth type may include such subjects as elementary 
 English, history, civics, economics, arithmetic and hygiene. 
 
 (g) . Methods of instruction: The aim is to adapt the 
 instruction to groups of individuals who have had similar 
 experience and who have similar needs. The State Board 
 of Education will require adequate organization | and 
 
 supervision of the work, preferably by a local vocational 
 director. 
 
 (h) The provisions of IV; c, 1,,(h)—(pages 11 and 
 12) — apply also to teachers in part-time schools. For the 
 special purpose of certificating teachers in part-time schools 
 the rules herein mentioned will also provide — 
 
 (3). A certificate special for part-time 
 classes, valid to teach the non-vocational work in 
 such classes, to be issued to one who has all qualifi- 
 cations for a regular elementary or high school 
 teacher’s certificate, and who in addition ‘proves 
 such a knowledge of the needs of young workers 
 and of the means of imparting instruction to them 
 as may be required by the State Board of Educa- 
 tion. 
 
 (1) Method of reimbursement : 
 
 (1) Possibly as high as roo per cent of the salaries 
 of qualified teachers in such schools which are newly es- 
 tablished may be paid by the State Board of Education, 50 
 per cent of this coming from federal funds and 50 per cent 
 from the state funds appropriated to match them. 
 
 (2) The reimbursement for schools not newly es- 
 tablished will not be over 80 per cent: (40 per cent from 
 _ federal funds) of the salaries of the teachers. 
 
 (3) Payment will be in the form of reimbursement 
 for expenditures already incurred to such schools as have 
 been approved by the State Board of Education under the 
 
 plans approved by the Federal Board for Vocational Edu- 
 cation. 
 
“1 
 
 ‘Evening schools and classes: The following restric- | 
 
 tions apply to such schools and classes: 
 (a) Pupils to be over sixteen years of age. 
 
 (b) Instrtiction to be confined to that which is sup- 
 
 plemental to the daily employment. 
 
 (c) Plant.and equipment: The local school authori- 
 ties are to furnish the building and equipment necessary to 
 carry out the work planned. The equipment necessary will 
 vary greatly with the particular undertakings. It may not 
 always include shop equipment. 
 
 (d) Minimum for maintenance: The local school 
 
 authorities will furnish such part of the salaries of teachers 
 as is required in the plan for reimbursement, and all other 
 service necessary to facilitate the work. 
 
 (e) Courses of study: (1) Much of the evening 
 school work will be short course work designed to meet 
 special needs of experienced workers in industry. (2) 
 The instruction will in many cases be organized into well- 
 rounded curriculums which, by supplementing the daily em- 
 
 ployment, improve the ‘standing of the workers in par-— 
 
 ticular industries. 
 
 (£) Methods of instruction: The instruction is to 
 
 take workers in the stage of preparation in which they are 
 found and instruct them in matters supplementary to their 
 experience in their callings. This involves the problem of 
 
 finding a teacher for a group rather than a group for a 
 teacher. It also involves the problem of constructing short 
 units into a curriculum rather than placing classes in a~ 
 
 ready-made curriculum. The State Board of Education 
 
 will require adequate supervision of the work, preferably 
 
 by a local vocational director. 
 
 (g). Certification. Same as IV, c, 1, (h) — (pages 
 EI, <t2), 
 
 (h) Method of reimbursement: 
 
 (1) Possibly as high as 100 per cent of the 
 salaries of qualified teachers in such schools which are 
 newly established may be paid by the State Board of 
 Education, 50 per cent of this coming from federal 
 funds and 50 per cent from the state funds apPIG 
 priated to match them. ; 
 
 (2) The reimbursement for schools not newly 
 established will not be over 80 per cent (40 per cent 
 from federal funds) of the salaries of the teachers.

 (3) Payment will be in the form of reimburse- 
 
 ment for expenditures already incurred to such schools 
 as have been approved by the State Board of Education 
 under the plans approved by the Federal Board for 
 Vocational Education. iS 
 
 d. Plans for training teachers: 
 
 1. The training of teachers will be under the supervision 
 of the State Board of Education. . 
 
 2. Ratio of expenditure for each of the three fields of 
 teacher-training: For the present fiscal year not all of the 
 money appropriated for the purpose will be spent. Possibly 
 20 per cent of the total amount for the training of teachers will — 
 be used for the training of home economics teachers, 25 per 
 cent for the training of teachers of agriculture, and 30 per cent 
 for the training of teachers of trades and industrial subjects. 
 Next year the State Board of Education plans to use for the 
 training of home economics teachers about 20 per cent of the 
 total amount appropriated for the training of teachers; for the 
 training of teachers of agriculture, 25 or 30 per cent and for the 
 training of teachers of trades and industrial subjects, 50 or 55 
 per. cent. 
 
 3. Proportion of appropriation to be spent for forms of 
 maintenance other than teachers’ salaries: This will include 
 (a) Expense incurred in discovering and selecting suitable 
 teachers of shop work. (b) Traveling expense of a director 
 or directors of teacher-training and of itinerant teachers. (c) 
 The salary of a director of teacher-training. (d) Certain small 
 expenses for printing and distributing instructions. The total 
 of these four items will not be allowed to exceed 15 per cent 
 of the amount appropriated for the maintenance of teacher- 
 training. 
 
 4. Training of teachers through institutions: It is pro- 
 posed to conduct this work through the staffs of teachers at- 
 tached to institutions in the large cities of the state. The work 
 will be promoted and unified by a properly qualified director of 
 teacher-training to be designated by the State Board of Educa-_ 
 tion. 
 
 (a) Teachers of shop subjects: (1) Such institu- 
 tions of more than high school grade supported entirely by 
 public funds as can properly provide such courses and as m 
 the judgment of the State Board of Education would suff- 
 ciently. promote the cause of vocational education by so 
 doing will-train teachers of trades and industrial education 
 especially on the pedagogical side. (2) Only those who

 EAR 
 
 eae had the five years of experience provided in IV, c, (h), 
 
 (2), — (page 12) — will be admitted to such courses. Ad- 
 mission will also be confined to those who give promise, 
 because of personal qualities, earlier education, etc., of 
 being useful as teachers. (3) The institution of regular 
 curriculums for this purpose is not at present. proposed. 
 Instead single courses such as the following will be offered 
 and the director of teacher-training will see that the proper 
 work is assigned to the individual: 
 
 (1) English for shop teachers. 
 
 (II) Industrial design, mathematics and science’ 
 needed to supplement their trade experience. 
 
 (III) Professional subjects such as history of | 
 industrial education, vocational education, educational 
 psychology, class and shop management, administration 
 of industrial education, principles of teaching and 
 observation and practice teaching. 
 
 (IV) Opportunities to supplement their trade ex- 
 perience by learning through practical work other pro- 
 cesses of their trades. 
 
 (4) This work will be done largely in evening classes — 
 and in part by itinerant teachers, who will, however, be in- 
 structors in the cooperating institutions for higher educa- 
 tion. (5) The program of studies will be suited to the 
 individual. To one who completes the program of studies 
 of not less than 18 semester hours suited to his needs a 
 certificate of proficiency as teacher of the trade subject will 
 be granted. These persons were required to have the five 
 years of experience in a trade in order to ue this work. 
 (6) Relation to certification: 
 
 (I) Those who secure certificates of proficiency 
 provided in (5) will be granted certificates provided in 
 IV, c, (h), (2)—(page 12)— valid for one year. If 
 they have had a successful experience of at least two 
 years in teaching the work they will be granted certifi- 
 cates valid for three years. 
 
 (II) High school graduates who secure certifi- 
 cates of proficiency provided in (5) and who are es- 
 pecially recommended by the director of teacher-train- 
 ing will be granted state four-year provisional certifi- 
 cates for teaching the trade. After one teaches 24 
 months on such a certificate he is granted a life certifi- 
 cate. (A slight change in the Ohio statutes will be 
 
necessary to carry this into effect; the consummation 
 
 of the plan in respect to state provisional and-life cer- — 
 
 tificates is therefore contingent upon secttriqg the 
 necessary legislation.) 
 
 (7). It will be possible to begin this work in a short time. 
 
 (b) Teachers of technical subjects: The curriculum 
 outlined in (d). below will train such teachers. However, 
 not a sufficient number of teachers will be supplied through 
 that agency. The plan here stated applies to the prepara- 
 tion of those who are not prepared through those curricu- 
 lums. (1) The staffs of teachers who train shop teachers 
 
 in pedagogical subjects will be used also to train technical 
 
 teachers, (2) Only those who have already acquired two 
 years of training, 50 per cent of which was technical work 
 related to particular industries, and who have had at least 
 a year of trade or industrial experience and who have the 
 qualities desired in teachers will be admitted to these classes 
 for training technical teachers. (3) The institution. of 
 regular curriculums for this purpose is not at present pro- 
 posed. Instead single courses such as the following will be 
 offered and the director of teacher-training will see that 
 _ the proper work is assigned to the individual: 
 
 (I) Professional subjects such as history of in- 
 dustrial education, vocational education, educational 
 psychology, class and shop management, administration 
 of industrial education, principles of teaching and ob- 
 servation and practice teaching. 
 
 (II) “Opportunity to supplement their technical 
 
 and trade knowledge with such technical or trade 
 
 knowledge or skill as they need in order to enhance 
 their success in teaching the technical work related to 
 trades and industrial. occupations. 
 
 (4) This work will be done largely in evening classes 
 and in part by itinerant teachers, who will, however, be in- 
 structors in the cooperating institutions for higher educa- 
 tion. (5) The program of studies will be suited to the 
 individual.. To one who completes the program of studies 
 suited to his needs and which includes not less than 18 
 semester hours of professional work including practice 
 teaching, a certificate of proficiency as a teacher of technical 
 subjects will be granted. These persons were required to 
 have for entrance to the courses a year of experience in a 
 trade or industrial occupation and two years of training 
 
 his bist 
 ear. Sunn 
 OM aos ee 
 
with 50 per cent technical work. (6) . Relation to certifi- 
 cation : 
 
 oT) Those who secure certificates of proficiency ~ 
 
 provided in (5) will be granted certificates provided in 
 IV, c, (h), (1),—(page 12) — valid for one year. If 
 they have had a successful experience in teaching the 
 work of at least two vears they will be BAS oss certifi- 
 cates valid for three years. 
 
 (II) Those who have completed four years of 
 high school work and two years of work ina higher in- 
 stitution and who secure certificates of proficiency pro- 
 
 _-vided in (5) and who are especially recommended by / 
 the ‘director of teacher-training will be granted state. - 
 four-year provisional certificates for teaching technical 
 trade subjects.. After one teaches 24 months on such a 
 
 certificate he is granted a life certificate. (A slight 
 change in the Ohio statutes will be necessary to carry 
 
 this into effect ; the consummation of the plan in respect — 
 to state provisional and life certificates is therefore — 
 
 contingent upon securing the necessary legislation.) — 
 
 Ry 
 
 (7) It will be possible for this work to begin ina 
 
 short time. 
 
 (c) Those teachers of academic subjects who have Le a 
 declared their intent to teach subjects within the meaning - 
 of trade, home economics and-industrial subjects as defined “ we 
 in section II of the Smith-Hughes Law. The director of — © 
 teacher-training and the staffs for teacher-training will in-— 
 terest regular teachers of maturity and proven success in 
 taking courses in the meaning and organization of voca- — 
 
 tional education. It is understood that such teachers will 
 
 be enrolled in.the special classes in the meaning and organi- 
 zation of vocational education. designed for teachers of 
 
 trade and industrial subjects receiving federal funds. This 
 
 is for the purpose of making them teachers of such subjects 
 in part-time or general continuation schools within the 
 
 meaning of section II of the Law. This is with the under- 
 
 standing that no new classes are organized separately for 
 
 this purpose but that such teachers are enrolled in the 
 classes especially designed for teachers of trade and in-. 
 
 dustrial subjects in Smith-Hughes schools or of the grade 
 of Smith-Hughes schools. 
 
 It is further understood that no federal moneys are to 
 be used for teacher-training in subject matter of teachers 
 of such subjects as civics and economics, etc., proposing to 
 
22 
 
 teach in either part- -time and cont iation or day and « eéve- Ga 
 ning schools under the Smith-Hughes Law. Such teachers ie ae 
 will be expected to bring at the time of their application = = 
 the requisite knowledge of such subject-matter. Federal . ae 
 funds used for the training of such teachers for service in x J 
 part-time and continuation schools will only be used for ae 
 their training in professional subjects, such as described a 
 above, and for the present this is confined to the classes in a 
 the meaning and purpose of vocational education. s 
 
 (d) Technical teachers in cities of more than 25,000 2 
 population and industrial teachers in cities and towns of fee 
 less.than 25,000 population: (1) Such teachers will be a 
 ‘trained by such publicly supported and controlled colleges “aes 
 and normal schools in this state as introduce curriculums =a 
 
 for the purpose which are satisfactory to the State Board 
 of Education, and have the facilities and equipment neces- ie 
 sary for carrying out such curriculums and as the State © a 
 Board of Education, in its judgment, will be justified in ~~ 
 using for this purpose. (2) Entrance requirements: 
 Graduation from a four-year high school or the equivalent. = — ss 
 (3) Course of instruction: Such a course should consist se = 
 of approximately 40 per cent technical work, 10 per cent 
 academic work of a non-vocational character, 25 per cent 
 practical shop work with trade contact and 25 per cent 
 
 educational subjects. ae 
 (4) The completion of 120 semester hours or more Be 
 of credit will be required for graduation. Trade contact — 3 
 and practical experience .will be required in large measure ha 
 in these courses. ea. 
 (5) State provisional four-year certificates to teach =e 
 
 technical work in vocational schools and to teach vocational 7 
 
 work in Smith-Hughes schools in cities and towns of fewer 
 
 than 25,000 population will be granted to graduates of these 
 
 curriculums. After 24 months of successful teaching on 
 - such certificates, life certificates are granted. 
 
 5. Training by itinerant teachers: These teachers will be 
 attached to institutions in the large cities of the state. They : 
 will be members of the staffs mentioned in 4 above (page 20). ee 
 
 (a) Number of centers: The State Board of Edu- i 
 cation will interest as many of the publicly supported in- ae 
 stitutions in the state as it deems advisable in providing a 
 such staffs. These institutions will through these staffs pro- 
 vide centers in their own and near-by cities. This plan 
 will reach all the larger- cities in the state. 
 
23 
 
 (b) © The teaching done Ey these men will be largely 
 of evening classes. One of their duties will be to find suit- 
 able tradesmen and technically trained men. who give 
 promise of usefulness as teachers. ~The State Board of 
 : Education will also use available agencies of ‘pebhee for 
 5 this purpose. : 
 
 (c). The institution of regular curriculums for this 
 purpose is not at present proposed. Instead single courses 
 such as the following will be offered and the director of 
 teacher-training will see that the proper work is assigned 
 to the individual: . 
 
 (1) English for shop teachers. 
 
 (II) Industrial design, mathematics and science 
 needed to supplement their trade experience. 
 
 (III) Professional subjects such as history of 
 industrial education, vocational education, educational 
 psychology, class and shop management, administration 
 of industrial education, principles of teaching apa 
 observation and practice teaching. “i 
 
 (d) The teacher-training staffs will have the duty — 
 of following the teaching careers of those who have taken. 
 some training and of interesting them in further training. 
 
 (e) Only those who have had the five years of experi- 
 ence provided in IV, c, (h), (2),— (page 12) — will be 
 admitted to such courses. Admission will also be confined ~ 
 to those who give promise because of personal qualities, — 
 
 _ earlier education, etc., of being useful as teachers. 
 
 6. All of the training outlined above except that in IV, 
 d, 4, (d), — page 22), is designed largely for the improvement | 
 of teachers in service. Local school authorities will be asked 
 
 to offer inducements of increased compensation to those who 
 
 complete certain special preparation for their work. 
 
 7. Method of reimbursement: 
 
 (a) The State Board of Education will pay a high 
 percentage (half of it from federal funds and half from 
 state funds appropriated to the State Board of Education) © 
 of the salaries of the teachers provided for in IV, d, 4;— 
 (page 18). 
 
 (b) The maintenance explained in IV, d, 3,— (page 
 18) — will be paid by the State Board of Education (one- 
 half from federal and one-half from state funds.) 
 
 (c) The State Board of Education will concentrate 
 on the projects for teacher-training in a few institutions, 
 
Mah, 
 
 24 
 
 and the projects which will best furnish an adequate supply ‘5 
 of trained teachers for the schools under their control. bong cs ie 
 
 V. Plans for Home Economics Education: — ia 
 a.. General conditions. 
 
 1. Must be in schools or classes under public supervision _ 
 or control. 
 2. Must have for its controlling purpose to fit for useful 
 employment. : 
 3. Must be of less than college grade. = 
 4. Must be designed to meet the needs of persons over so 
 fourteen years of age. 
 | 5. Every dollar of federal funds used for home economics 
 education and for the training of teachers of home economics 
 under the Smith-Hughes Law will be matched by a dollar of 
 state or local money or both. 
 
 Py ee lee peel ate 
 
 . 6. All of the money mentioned under V52a;<5.-Of- these ee 
 ~ plans is to be expended only 
 
 (a) If appropriated under section 3 of the Smith- ; 
 Hughes Law, or used to match such appropriation, for the : 
 salaries of teachers of home economics in vocational home 
 economics courses approved by the State Board of Educa- 
 tion. 
 
 (b) If appropriated under section 4 of the Smith- 
 Hughes Law or used to match such appropriation, for the 
 maintenance of teacher-training for teachers’ of home 
 economics subjects; but such maintenance is not to include 
 items prohibited under section 17 of the Smith-Hughes 
 Law. 
 
 b. - Kinds of schools. 
 
 1. Day schools.. The following restrictions apply to such 
 schools : 
 (a) They must have a term of at least nine months 
 in length. 
 .(b) The instruction must be for not less than 30 
 hours per week. 
 (c) At least one-half of the time the student gives 
 to the work’of the school must be devoted to practical work. 
 (d) Plant and equipment: No school will receive 
 state aid for-home economics work which does not have — 
 (1) A well-appointed room for demonstration 
 work in cooking. 
 (2) A sewing room with sewing machines. 
 
25 
 
 The minimum value for the equipment for such 
 ~ curriculum shall be $500 for each center. This is ex- 
 
 clusive of buildings and ordinary school furniture and | 
 
 exclusive of that part of the laboratories which is pro- 
 vided, primarily, for other curriculums. 
 The further equipment for each particular cur- 
 
 riculum will depend somewhat upon its content but 
 
 must include such particular items as the State Board 
 of Education may require for such particular content. 
 
 (e) Minimum for maintenance: (1) ~The local 
 
 school authorities are to keep the equipment efficient for — 
 
 the particular work to be done, they are to provide the up- 
 keep on all buildings used, the materials required in the 
 work, the salaries of non-vocational teachers, and such part 
 
 of the salaries of vocational teachers as is provided in the 
 plan for reimbursement. (2) At least one fully qualified | 
 
 teacher of home economics must be employed. It will be 
 the policy-of the State Board of. Education to arrange in 
 a number of the schools that such teacher shall be employed 
 
 for twelve months of the year, in order that she may super- 
 vise project work during the months that ithe school is not ~ 
 
 in session. 
 
 (£). Course of study: At least 180 minutes per day — eee 
 must be devoted to practical work, such as the study and _ 
 
 practice of cooking, sewing, home making, domestic — 
 
 accounting, household hygiene and ‘practical project work: 
 The remaining 180 minutes of the day may be devoted to 
 
 non-vocational subjects which along with the vocational 
 
 subjects will form a well-rounded course of training. 
 
 (g) Methods of instruction: The aim will be to 
 make the sciences and drawing taught function in the ap- — 
 
 plied subjects. All studies will be taught with a view to 
 
 their practical value for the ends for which the curriculums 
 are established. The method of instruction employed will, — 
 
 in general, combine in one class exercise both practical work 
 and essential related instruction involving practical work, 
 which forms of instruction and practice classes will not be 
 dissociated into regular recitations and laboratory periods. 
 (h) Qualifications of teachers: Graduation from a 
 four-year home economics curriculum in a standard college 
 
 and credit for not fewer than 12 semester hours of work 
 
 in professional educational subjects, or an equivalent 
 preparation, and, in addition, practical experience-involving 
 a large measure of responsibility in the management of a 
 home. for at least twelve months, ,

 (i) Modifications of above p 
 mitted in cities and towns of less than 25,000 population: 
 
 (1). The number of hours of instruction per 
 
 week may be reduced to 25 — 5 per day. 
 
 (2) The other modifications of the arrangement 
 of work in.such cities and towns suggested in Memo 
 C, IV, I, are accepted as the policy of this Board. 
 
 (j) Method of reimbursement: 
 
 (1) Schools will be encouraged to try to qualify 
 only in case they give promise of maintaining high 
 standards of work. 
 
 ‘ . (2) The reimbursement will be for not over 60 
 per cent (30 per cent from federal funds) of salaries 
 of teachers of the work defined by the Federal Board 
 as home economics instruction. . 
 
 (3) Payment of the salaries of teachers who 
 teach part time in all-day schools will be aided pro rata 
 on the above basis for the portion of the school day 
 or school term they are employed. 
 
 (4) Payment will be in the form of reimburse-. 
 
 ment for expenditures already incurred to such schools 
 as have been approved by the State Board of Educa- 
 tion under the plans approved by the Federal Board 
 for Vocational Education. 
 
 2. Part time instruction: (All schools and classes must 
 give instruction for not less than 144 hours per year, and the 
 instruction must be designed to meet the needs of youn 
 workers over fourteen years of age). 
 
 (a) Extension classes may be established for those 
 engaged in domestic employments. 
 
 (b) General continuation classes—for these see 
 parts of IV, c,-2,— (pages 14 and following). 
 
 (c) Whatever plant and equipment are necessary 
 must be furnished and kept efficient by or for the local 
 school authorities without federal aid. The equipment will 
 vary from ordinary class-room furnishings to a full com- 
 plement of general and individual home economics equip- 
 ment. : 
 
 (d) Minimum for maintenance: 
 
 (1) For extension classes for those engaged in 
 domestic employments: (1) Local school authorities 
 or manufacturers acting for them shall supply proper 
 upkeep on suitable rooms, and sufficient illustrative and 
 
 working material. (2) Local school authorities are 
 
 lans which will be per- 
 
to pay such part of the salaries of the teachers (who 
 -will be vocational teachers) as is required in the plan 
 of reimbursement. (3) The amount to be paid for © 
 the salaries of teachers will depend upon the amount 
 of time they devote to the work, but it can be expected 
 to amount to $108 or more for a minimum course of 
 144 hours. 
 
 (11) For general continuation classes: (1) The 
 local school authorities or manufacturers acting for 
 them shall supply suitable rooms. (2) . The local. 
 school authorities are to supply suitable equipment and 
 such parts of the salaries of the teachers as is required 
 in the plan for reimbursement. (3) The amount to 
 be paid for the salaries of teachers will be somewhat. 
 greater than that paid for a like amount of work in 
 an ordinary day school. 
 
 (e) Courses of study: The courses in extension — 
 classes for those engaged in domestic employments will con- 
 sist of parts of such courses in home economics and closely 
 _related subjects as are given in the day schools. 
 
 (f) Groups of individuals who seem to have ipilay 
 needs will be instructed together ; the instruction will tend ©

 economics education or local vocational director. 
 
 (g) Same as V, b, 1, (h) — (page 25); but if some 
 
 person of eminent ability in some particular line of — 
 domestic occupation is desired to teach certain particular 
 classes for which she is especially fitted, the above qualifica- 
 tions are waived, but such a person would have to hold 
 
 such a certificate as described in IV, c, (h), (2) (pages scar 
 
 12). 
 (h) Method of reimbursement: 
 
 (1) Possibly as high as 100 per cent of the is poe

 ments apply to such schools and classes: . oe 
 
 (a) Pupils to be over 16 years of age. 
 
 (b) < Instruction to be supplementary to the day em- ~ 
 ployment. Part of the day employment of every womar x 
 will, however, be assumed to be the work of the home. a 
 
 (c) Plant and equipment: The minimum will be — 
 the same as for day home economics schools. . 
 
 (d) Minimum for maintenance: The local school 
 authorities are to keep the equipment efficient for the par- 
 ticular work to be done, they are to provide the upkeep of 
 all buildings used and the materials required in the work 
 and such part of the salaries of the teachers as is provided 
 in the plan for reimbursement. 
 
 (e) Courses of study: These will be for the most 
 part composed of short unit’ courses, each requiring from 
 three to twelve or fifteen evenings for its completion. Ex- 
 amples of such dre: In cooking —cake making, use of 
 left over portions, breakfasts, school lunches, marketing; 
 in sewing — cutting from patterns, school dresses, patching, 
 pants-making, knitfing; in general household work — serv- 
 ing, ironing, dry cleaning, cleaning the house. 
 
 (f) Methods of instruction: The instruction is to 
 take workers in the stage of preparation in which they are — 
 found and instruct them in matters supplementary to. their 
 experience in their callings. This involves the problem of © 
 finding a teacher for a group rather than a group for a~ 
 teacher. It also involves the problem of constructing short 
 units into a curriculum rather than placing classes in a 
 ready-made curriculum. The State Board of Education 
 will require adequate supervision of the work, preferably 
 by a local vocational director.
