YOUTH TRAINING MAY BE LINKES WITHEDUCATION

Believe Defense Missions]

Would Help Fit Many For Vocations.

(Copyright, 1940, by Science Service) WASHINGTON, June 27.—The universal compulsory Government training plan proposed by President Roosevelt, if it is adopted as a defense measure, probably would be closely co-ordinated with our present educational system. To the boy or girl who ordinarily would leave high school or junior high school to look for a job, the year of training in camp or factory might provide additional education and fitting for vocational life. For the boy or girl who is preparing for a professional career, it is assumed that the plan will be so organized that the Government training can be fitted in without interference with college life in much the same way that the R. O. .'T. C. training is fitted in with the curriculum of land grant colleges.

Professions Vital to Defense

Since the professions of medicine, dentistry, chemistry, physics, psychology, psychiatry, law and even the ministry are so vital to defense, integrity, and mental and physical health of the nation, it might be possible to give credit for professional training as an integral part ‘of the Government {raining program. Whether the Government training program should not go further and actually provide initial pre-profes-sional training for those interested and qualified is a matter for serious consideration by those engaged in forming the plan which is now, the President says, in the “study stage.” Capitalizing on the experience resulting from World War conscription, the Government training program probably will take full advantage of psychological testing and counseling service in directing the young people of America into fields most in keeping with their abilities and interests.

Selective Tests Planned

Mental tests, aptitude tests, and mechanical ability tests probably will be used to disover the boys best suited for outdoor conservation and farm work, those with the knack of working with airplane engines, those who: could benefit from training in a chemical laboratory or plant and those who would make good officer material if given the chance. In addition to this testing and vocational direction services which probably will be made available in any such universal training program, provision may be made for these young people to indicate their own choice of the types of training available. Having before us the example of how training periods in military camps and labor camps have been permitted to curtail and supplant educational life in Germany, it is not likely that the proposed Government training program will be allowed to infringe on opportunities for higher education in the United States. Such a program in the United States would not necessarily mean a year cut from the school curriculum or from the period of compulsory education. Nor would it mean that the boy ambitious to be a physician or a chemist would be

One of Ben Davis' 4-H Girls

May Go to

In 1930, the present vocational home economics teacher at Ben Davis High School, Mrs. Charles Sohl, was a 4-H Club girl and a member of the first Marion County group to attend the national 4-H Club exhibits at Chicago. .In 1940, she hopes that one of her pupils, Miss Gertrude Ramey, will represent Indiana in the baking judging contest at the national 4-H Club Show. This year two of her pupils, Miss Ramey and Miss Anna Louise Brewer, won county 4-H Club contests and the right to represent Mar-

don County at the Purdue Roundup

this month. They were the only Wayne Township contestants at Purdue and both of them placed in the “state honor groups,” Miss Ramey in baking judging and Miss Brewer in demonstration. There is no demonstration contest at the national show, but one of the five girls in the honor group of the baking judging contest will compete at Chicago. The choice will be made on the basis of the five girls’ scores at the Roundup and their all-around achievement records in 4-H Club work and community service. Miss Ramey, who is 18, placed foyrth in the baking judging scores,

Chicago Show

but she hopes to be first when the achievement records are in. She was ‘graduated from high school this spring, has a full-time job at a greenhouse, and is doing 4-H Club work in five different classes. She cooks her own lunches at the greenhouse for her food preparation work, she does sewing while waiting for customers, she does canning in the late afternoons and baking on week-ends. Her fifth project is “junior leadership,” helping younger 4-H Club members with their work, : As if this weren't enough, she adds to her community service record by teaching a Sunday school class. Miss Brewer is 17 and has one more year of high school, but she, too, is’ doing junior leadership work. Miss Sohl was a junior leader during summer vacations while she was in college and it was in this connection that she was chosen to make the 1930 trip to Chicago. She started teaching at Speedway City and has been at Ben Davis for four years. Last year, in county contests, her girls won championships in four of five baking classes, and in one class each in clothing and canning, and a reserve championship in one class of food prepa-

ration.

20 to 30 Largest Jobless Group

DO YOU HAVE A job for a Hoosier between 20 and 30 years old? This is the query going out to local employers from the Indianapolis branch of the State Employment office whose records show the largest group of job seekers are in that age group. Of 28,860 applications on file, 10,318—36 per cent—are from unemployed persons ranging from 20 to 30 years old, according to figures

compiled by George J. Smith, Local Employment Office manager. He said the majority of job seekers throughout the State also are

NOU. S. FAMINE, VOGLER'S VIEW

IFarm Chief Credits Reserve

“Plan for Plenty in Face of War. Despite the fears of famine this

i | winter in warring Europe, there will : be no shortage of food supplies in

the United States, L. M. Vogler, chairman of the Indfgna Agricultural Conservation Committee said today. ; “We have plenty for our own people, plenty for war relief and plenty for reserves,” Mr. Vogler said. “The ever-normal granary is a reality. At the present time, there are approximately 460 million bushels of corn and 200 million bushels of wheat on hand in the United States.

Credits AAA Program

Mr. Vogler said that because of these reserve supplies the farmers “will not need to plow the hills and the Great Plains as they did in 1917 and 1918, creating the dust storms in the West and eroding millions of acres of once-fertile soil.” He. gave the credit to the Agricultural Adjustment Administration program for storing the reserves for such emergencies without ruinous declines in farm prices. He claimed that without the AAA’s commodity loans, farm prices would have collapsed in the face of the war’s curtailment of farm exports.

. Stamp Plan Will Aid

Mr. Vogler, who heads the AAA program in Indiana, said that the feeding of European refugees would to an extent offset the loss of regular export markets and that the Agriculture Department is cooperating directly with the American Red Cross in sending supplies to Europe. Domestic consumption will be increased by the Food Stamp Plan, he predicted. He claimed that the ever-normai granary plan is “doubly useful in wartime” and said that even if the most serious famine in history should come to Europe this winter, it would not find Americans hungry.

‘Put Safety 1st

. CHICAGO, June 27 (U. P.).— The National Safety Council begged Americans today to make

the Fourth of July a holiday in-

stead of a “horror day.” “Last year the July accident toll was 8800 dead and 800,000 injured,” the council said. “There is no rhyme or reason to this wholesale slaughter. It must be stopped. : “Put safety first on the Fourth.”
