For the 3,000 Vermont high school graduates who in 1945 went on to colleges in the state, the legislature appropriated $1,150 apiece. For each of the other 17,000 who went directly into business or industry, however, the state contributed only $2.31 for their vocational education. "For most boys and girls our high schools represent the end of formal schooling," but few' high schools offer more than one vocational course and "in 65 secondary schools no vocational courses were given in 1944-45." These statements are contained in the report, "Toward a Better Living in Vermont Through Vocational Education, A Program of Progress For Verm on an advisory report compiled by the State Education Department's Vocational Education Division, headed by' John E. Nelson, announced Yesterday by Gov. Mortimer R.

Proctor. "We should provide annually somewhere between $4.24 and $1,150 per pupil" for vocational education, the report states. The $4.24 is the amount appropriated by Maine, lowest in New England except for Vermont in vocational education support, Local Interest Needed However, the report continues, "no amount of state or federal aid can offset lack of local interest and efficiency." The report then outlines a plan to divide the state into 18 tentative vocational educaton districts, each to contain about 500 students, to be natural centers of trade and service and "selected with a view to kinds of industry and agriculture' to insure commonness of purpose and needs within the area." The report recommends, to supervise these 18 districts. Area Advisory Councils to determine vocational education needs, advise on programs and to decide means of putting them into effect. Closely tied with Governor-Elect Ernest W.

Gibson's plan to survey individual communities and determine industrial potentials, the report would "call on the resources of the area and the state to aid in developing a comprehen. sive plan of action." This would in. elude data on numbers of high school age youths, area employment capacity, existing facilities for vocational education, and numbers of youth in the area. Specifically the vocational program desires more Vermont youths in high schools and at least 60 per cent of them enrolled in vocational courses of their own choosing, subject to vocational guidance. The program would modify existing laws to require a town to pay one half a student's tuition to attend a school where vocational courses are given, the state to contribute the other half.

"We must gear our program. enroll at least 12,000 high school youths," the report states. In 1940, a total of 4,000 were enrolled, though in 1945 only 30 per cent of the courses offered were for boys. The report also recommends adding to present public school fa. cilities and teaching staffs to operate 600 more vocational classes.

The development of from five to 10 vocational centers offering courses to veterans and adults is advocated. Legislative change to make the 13th and 14th year levels There Is a new track In the snow.

Most repeated advice to members of the 1947 General Assembly, which will convene Wednesday, proffered today by surly arrivals at Mont- ptlier was, "bring your overshoes." Forerunners of the some 300 leg islative members and their families to arrive tomorrow and Tuesday, some from more temperate sections of the state, expressed sur prise at finding some four feet of snow on the level blanketing the capital city. Concern was also expressed over the housing shortage here, but it appeared that most legislators had already completed rooming ar rangements privately or through the Montpelier Chamber of Commerce.

Some legislators were found to have secured suites and apartments, feat held impossible by most year-around residents. Third worry for most House and Senate members appeared to lie in dining facilities, already overtaxed by city residents and skiers from the Mansfield area. Office employes expressed the hope that legislative sessions would convene and recess late for lunch to prevent a hopeless conjestion of hungry crowds. Meanwhile, as the State House preparations for the session near-ed completion under the direction of Sergeant-at-Arms Carl Dwinell, snow removal crews continued to Unexpected Family Reunion At Copley Hospital Special to the Free Press MORRISVTLLE, Jan. 5.

One pattern is to SDeeii' lize vocational training in certain schools, to be shared by neighbor, ing institutions. Another would fa. velop special, full time schools primarily for vocational work The third pattern would entail coji solidation of several schools to u. cure Increased enrollment The rd port recommends each pattern to particular cases. Immediate Objectives Listed Immediate objectives cited by the report include: freeing families from paying transportation i md tuition costs to schools offering vo.

cational education, encouragement of local vocational endeavors, development of five aduli vocational centers, and increasing state voca. tional aid. Recounting the Vermont voci. tional education record the report relies mainly-on statistics from 1940 and the school year 1944-45. Homemaking and agriculture led in subjects teught.

Some 3,700 boys and girls received homemaking training from 80 teachers; 36 schools instructed in agriculture for 1,400 youths and adults in 1942, the peak year; and four schools oJ. fered distributive education, learning working combination. Of trade and industrial training the report states that in nine years the centers offering these courses increased from three to 13. Subjects taught included machine operation, granite work, auto mechanics, carpentry and electrical work. It is stated that "the training of craftsmen in the production of fine articles has be.

come increasingly popular," but it is not indicated that handicratt skill is planned as a training ob jective. Wartime Courses Considerable space in the report is devoted to the wartime coursei which came under the headings oi agricultural education and trade and industrial programs. More than 11,000 youths and adults were trained in 117 centers under the agricultural program, which covered auto mechanics, electricity, farm machinery, food productiot and conservation. Under the indus trial program some 13,000 were trained in 36 centers in various mechanical skills. The repon does not connect this war wort with the planned vocational pro gram.
