Voc.-Ag.
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.
