Fine Vocational School Group Historic Settlement of Nebraska: Houses One of Government's j Youth Recovery Projects. j Topping a scenic hill ten miles southeast of Omaha, and overlooking historic old Bellevue, Nebraska's first f - Hnitol is :l nroiect under the Wcrks Project Administration. It is the Bellevue vocational school where young men are being instructed in the building crafts to meet the anti cipated need fcr skiilcd artisans :ited largely These youth are recru from the transient shelter group. Many are homeless and without fam ilies and prior to being enrolled in the school may be said to have been without aims or ambitions. Now they have a home and they have ambi tions and are oHered the means of realuin their ambitions through study. In time, they will leave Belle- vue to pk'y au active, useful part in national recovery. Like the beys themselves, Belle vue had hard sledding at the outset rf lie ra i - A.T l o erc i nmon i a ?t fl lack ef general understanding of the f,- c,.i.r.ic ,.f .f i.!i trtn.i . e io iv. i iiLiiowij v vo.lllo;iui n u j ing hampered its growth. It was in a static state when the National Em ergency Council to Administrator Dwi came interested i:: re the r ;ht F. with State F -"to-i be - its possibilities. The government, once aroused, lost j little time in filling the roster of Bellevue with youi.g boys in need cf ! direction and practical training. j !

Deputy Director D. ; j F. McCauley in commenting on the ; j school has stated "results to date i are so definite and reassuring as to. i j overcome the most obstinate and cyn ical critics of any class or party. One can hardly conceive a more human itarian or constructive program." Officialdom does not obtrude it self nor hamper the boys in their activities. In the language cf the superintendent, H. E. Woolery, "the personnel of cur official roster is neither large nor important. Our sole aim is to fit these boys for pri- 1 permanency. V.'e who are training I them may be replaced by others but the young men are training for fu ture years." Another member of the : Bellevue staff playing a conspicuous part in developing the boys is Ellis Weitzman who heads the advisory staff. He is a vital force in the or ganization with a well-blended back ground of college training and com mon sense. "He never gets mad," as the boys say, and so Superintendent Woolery is relieved of many petty problems. "The Indian." .monthly school pub lication has announced that the edu cational department is no.v issuing certificates of merit. Not only do these certificates indicate a student's skill, but they are also proof of the heller's effort to obtain a mastery of technique.

The students placed in this line cf work have little difficulty! in making good on the job.
