"The aim of the vocational school is to take a boy or girl where he is and give him what he needs at the present time," said Mrs. Eva Morse of the State Vocational Board and teacher in a vocational school in Omaha, in her address at Vespers Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock in El len Smith hall. Mrs. Morse spoke mainly on her work in connection with the vocational training school for children under sixteen years of age. Mrs. Morse explained that the state insists that children under sixteen years of age who must work, and are thus unable to attend regular school, must spend eight hours a week in some other school. Many such chil dren are enrolled in vocational schools. Touching upon the subject of voca tions for women, Mrs. Morse de clared that the greatest difficulty encountered is the fact that women fail to take the subject of vocations seriously and do not stick to any one thing long enough to cultivate pro ficiency. Vespers were in charge of W. S. G. A. and were conducted in con nect on with vocational guidance week which the association is spon soring. Mariel Flynn presided, and members of the W. S. G. A. board were hostesses. Miss Jean Holt; sang a solo. DEBATE COMMITTEES NAMED BY MANAGER Argument on Immigration Question to Be Held Next Wednesday.
