Story of 245 Graduates in ’35 Shows Classes Helped in Jobs.

By EARL HOFF Graduation; then what? That question begins to worry high school pupils when they reach their senior year. Some will go on to college, some to business schools. But the maafter graduation, will be seeking full-time jobs for the first time in their lives. Doubts begin to assail them. Will

I find a job? Did I get the right training in school?

Are the Answers Here?

Teachers at Washington -High School believe they have the answers to those important questions. They are contained in charts and graphs tucked into a folder in the desk of W. G. Gingery, principal. Those records tell the story of the 245 graduates in the class of 1935. One hundred seventy-five have jobs, a teachers’ committee learned earlisr this year. Only four were unemployed. Seven couldn't be located. Sixty-three were married. Twenty-four were in college or taking other additional training.

60 Were Clerks Of the 175 employed, 60 were clerks. Twenty-two were in professional fields, 22 were in sales work, six were service workers, 42 were skilled craftsmen, 15 were engaged in semi-skilled work and only eight were doing unskilled labor. Important information to the] teachers was the graduates replies] to the question of what school sub-| jects aided them in their work. Of | the pupils who took commercial subjects. 59.6 per cent said the courses helped them. Other percentages were industrial arts, 29.68; home economics, 25.53; English, 19.51; Art, 15, and mathematics, 9.27. Languages trailed, with only .77 per cent of those who took it in school saying they got any benefit.

English Added Pleasfire

Eighty-seven pupils said commercial training helped them find jobs, 40 replied English was a help 19 voted for industrial art and 19 for mathematics. English, however, was the leader in the replies to the question as to the subject which most added satisfaction in living. Social sciences was second and home economics third. : Similar graduate studies have been compiled by most high schools | in the city as a gauge of whether | schools are on the right track in education.

LABOR LAW AND DEFENSE LINKED

Group Expected to Discuss Contract Eligibility of Wagner Violators.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (U. P) — The National Defense Advisory Commission meets today, probably to discuss eligibility of labor law violators to obtain Government contracts. The commission will have available, if it desires, a National Labor Relations Board list of companies which have been found guilty of Wagner Act violations and have appealed to Federal courts. Sidney Hillman, commission member and co-ordinator of labor supply, asked for that list on Oct. 5, the United Press~was informed at board headquarters, The House committee investigate ing the board conducted a hurry-up investigation yesterday of reports vthat the defense commission had adopted a policy of barring contracts to firms on appeal from board findings that they had violated the Wagner Act. © All witnesses denied any such policy had been adopted, but Mr. Hillman said the matter was to he the subject of early commission discussion. : : William 8. Knudsen, commission - er in charge of production, rejected the idea that such firms should be blacklisted. President John 1. Lewis of the C. I. O. has been pressing the Administration for legislative or executive aétion to prevent contract awards to violators of labor legislation. Mr, Hillman, a vice president of C. I. O, did not commit himself on the matter yesterday as it related to firms with appeals pending Speaking in New York last night, Mr. Knudsen said it would be *“going too far” to bar firms from contracts while their cases were before the courts.
