Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 136, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 June 1912 — Aid Vocational Plan. [ARTICLE]

Aid Vocational Plan.

If public sentiment on the vocational education plan may be correctly measured by the letters received, there is little doubt but that the time is ripe for active work along industrial lines. Just what this action will bring forth is, of course, a matter for speculation. Indiana teachers, however, who wish to fit themselves for aiding in the movement, should prepare now for the work. Pq|due’s Summer School for Teachers, to be held from June 17th to July 20th, will prepare teachers for the handling of elementary work in agriculture, domestic science and manual training. Many applications have been received, and there is every assurance that the innovation will be a success. By taking this summer school work, th 4 teachers will be in a position to impart the rudiments of the vocational courses and to "grow with their own work.” The Purdue Agricultural Extension department will send an illustrated pamphlet, describing the work, to persons requesting same.
