USEFUL EDUCATION
(Seattle Post Intelligencer)
New inquiries by the
school department of New
York City demonstrate
the value of combining ex
perience with education in
preparing young men and
women for adult life
New York City has aj
considerable number of |
vocational schools and has
also developed to an ex
ceptional degree the work
study plan, by which pu
pils attend classes part of
their scholastic time and
work in private enter
prises during equal per
iods, thus combining the
oretical instruction with
shop training.
A recent report from
the school department
showed that nearly all
work-study students are
graduated into fields of
employment for which
they were educated, their
permanent employment
becoming a continuation
of their student-exper
ience jobs.
A similar report just is
sued for the vocational
school division, presents
strikingly similar find
ings.
The vocational high
school survey has pointed
at the post-school records
of graduates for five sem
esters extending back
from June. 1943.
In the classes of June,
1941, there were 3,623
graduates of whom 2,505,
or 66 per cent, were placed
in jobs.
Of that number, 2,365
were employed in fields
for which they were train
ed, 116 entered “related”
fields and only 34 took
preparation.
4 /
Tabulations for other
periods followed the same
pattern.
The survey offers stat
istical proof that employ
ers prefer to hire boys and
girls with training for
their jobs, and that those
who have such training
are best able to get the
kind of jobs in which they
are most likely to succeed.

HRS. MITROVICH
The Home Arts Club met at the
I
• home of Mrs. Duke Mitrovich
for the regular February meeting
Plans were discussed for the
purchase of a building from the
RFC for a field house. The
work of the club during the sum
mer months centers around a sup
ervised playfield, and has been
handicapped by the absence of
shelter for the children on rainy
days. With the acquisition of a
field house, a full summer pro
gram can be planned for the
children.
