Enrollment Increases By Melvin Paul Statehouse Oom'spondent The Nebraska Press Association IJNOOLN —-There is a larger en- 1 rollment this year in Nebraska high school vocational agriculture programs. So reports the State Education Department The department said this reverses the trend of the past five years and it is “pleased" to note this especially since Ne braska is an agricultural state. This year, the department rec kons, 4,848 high school boys were enrolled in vocational agri culture courses, as compared with 4,779 for the previous year and 4.78U 12 months earlier. There are 144 approved vo cational agriculture departments as against 146 for last year and 141 for the 1957-58 school year. "The vocational agriculture program in Nebraska has become ; increasingly more important as j the business of farming has be- I come more complex," the depart ment said. In Nebraska alxxit 2,500 to 3.000 new fanners are needed each year, the department commented, and less than half that figure are i Iieing replaced by agriculturally trained persons. Nationally, there is a demand i for 15,000 agriculture college grad- 1 uates each year but only 7,500 are j graduating, the department con- j tinued. The department said a number of boys who have taken vocational \ agriculture in Nebraska now are j in agricultural business occupa tions while many others have gone on to agricultural college for further specialization in farming. -- Hoard of Control The Board of Control, which governs state institutions, is com ing in for close scrutiny by a j group of state senators. Headed by Sen. Norman Otto of Kearney, the senators who com- | prise a committee of the Legisla- | live Council, are studying what ' would be the most feasible opera- ; tion for the functions handled by j the Itoard. The council is the research group of the Legislature and is compos ed of all state senators who study state problems between sessions as committees. The three members of the board, Chairman Charles Leeman, Vice Chairman Harold Peterson and Member Ethel Kirwin, told Otto's committee they are oppos ed to changing the board’s admini- 1 strative structure. However, members did suggest some internal improvements which they felt would smooth rough spots in l>oard activities. They included merging of per sonnel offices for the board and j the welfare department which is under the board supervision, a puh'.ic relations division for both departments and simplification of accounting procedures. Peterson said the adoption of a Constitutional amendment to put the Itoard under the jurisdiction of the Legislature has been miscon strued as an effort to abolish the board. , A bill to abolish the board failed in the 1959 Legislature and the study committee was the result of controversy over the measure. Finances Nebraska has many types of financial institutions and all are | in tip-top condition, money-wise. 1 That’s the diagnosis of State Banking Director Edwin Van, Horne.
