The study of vocational edu cation in agriculture for Negroes shows decided enrollment increases.1 In evening classes in agriculture, there was an increase in the num ber of men enrolled from 5,222 to 15,000 over a six year period. The enrollment of women in these clas ses increased from 500 to 3,100. The study indicatM'thaf vocational agriculture is offered in a limited number of Negfo schools. This is duo to a lack of funds and in some instances a lack of adequate demand for classes. It is reported that in qne State 80,000 Negro youths settled on farms after com pleting thS\ sixth grade without any formal training in agriculture. Tho study reveals also that the majority of Negro children do not have access to 'Vocational educa tion opportunities in high school. It is recommended, as a temporary ‘ measure, that vocational guidance, and preparation be introduced in the upper grades of elementary guidance and preparation be intro duced in the upper grades of ele mentary schools for Negroes in or der to benefit over-age pupils who drop out of school early, and in order to provide vocational pre paration for pupils who otherwise would not receive it. Home Economics There wag an increase over a six year period of more than 300 per cent in the number of vocational education classes in home econo mics for Negroes .This is signifi cant, the Office of Education study concludes, “because tfne training that Negroes receive in these clas ses can be put to immediate use in their homes.” “Home making ; education for hfegroes is of special importance. Its need is shown by the prevalence Of poor health, in adequate ,housing, early marriage, gainfully employed mothers and infant mortality among Negroes.” Comparatively few Negroes how ever, study child care, nursing, hy giene and parent education. Few boys are enrolled in home econo mics although a large numbers of Negro men are engaged in occu pations, and since the demands in j personal service occupations are increasing in number and com plexity, though home economics in structions or some other agency should definitely address itself to the task of preparing persons for effective adjustments in these oc cupations,” it is suggested. Trndeq and Industries The number of Federally aided courses in trades and industries offered in h'gh schools for Ne groes is ldmStfed in comparison with the total number of courses offered, and in many of those of fered relatively few Negroes are TEACHES CRIPPLED ..CHILDREN Ml! o i.i .11E L.

Relat ve ly few students are registered in trade asd ind •* .rial educational classes in college?. The possibility of increasing the opportunities for Negroes to receive vocational edu cational in trades and industries should be explored. Teachers The Negro survey disclosed that many of the Negro teachers of vo cational education are inadequate ly prepared and that the handicaps wh'ch their inadequate preparation places upon pupils may result in serious consequences for the indivi duals concerned. Approximately ono fourth of the Negro teachers in public high schools had two years or less of college education. Salaries of Negro' teachers of vo cational education range from $1, C60 to $11,871 per year, the lowest salaries being received by teachers of agriculture in rural areas. Guidance The survey point8 out that the kind of home and its upkeep, the opportunities for study and health ful sleep and recreation, quality and number of books, magazines and newspapers available have a bearing on the pupil’s ability to profit by the educational program provided. This is shown by the fact that principals of h!gh schools and university specialists in high school education ranked home conditions second in importance for guidance purposes in a list of eighteen items concerned with pupils background. In this connection, the survey indi cates that slightly more than one third of the parents of Negro pu pils included in this study owned or wero buying their homes. Twenty two per cent of the homes of pupils did not have electricity, 38 per cent had no bathtub, 26 per cent ha Moon-eye (Leroy) Wright as wrong instead of Wright1. 1 Billy as short instead of Long. * * * v>i i I • What won’t people thirtk of next.
