What Is Vocational Ornamental Horticulture? By Ed Washier Several people have asked recently, “What is vocational ornamental horticulture?” According to Webster’s dictionary horticulture is, “Cultivation of a garden or orchard; art of growing fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants”. Then, what is vocational ornamental horticulture? By definition, it is a vocational study of the growing of ornamental plant materials. Though the definition is brief, the full implications of such a program are not so brief.

It has been found through various studies that there is a definite need for people qualified in the area of horticulture. Granted, most anvone can plant a tree, a shrub, a flower and after several tries, get it to grow at least a little. However, most folks want that rose, that juniper, that yew, to grow now and not sometime in the next four or five years. And that is where the trained person, or if you will, the professional horticulturalist comes in handv. Horticulturalists understand soils and other plant growth media. They know which plant to plant where and they know about plant growth habits. Some of these people even know how to grow flowers and make the world a little better looking with exciting floral arrangements and plantings.

All in all. vocational ornamental horticulture encompasses instruction in soils, ornamental plantings, trees, turfs and florticulture. Although a high school cannot provide all of the knowledge required by the horticulturalist, the school can provide many of the basic things which can start a boy or girl in a profitable career.

Superintendent Don H. Arnold reported on the principals’ reports for the month of November and noted the circulation at the elementary libraries for the month. Syracuse students in grades one through five checked 2,371 books out of the library there for an average of 132 books per day for the month. North Webster students in grades one through five checked 2,249 books out for an average of 107 books per day for the month. Milford students in grades one through four checked 1,549 books out for a daily average of 86 during the month. School officials think the reason for the high numbers is the reading program now underway in the school corporation. Paul Scott of North Webster was present at the meeting and told the board of leather bond volumns of Shakespear that had been given to the North Webster school several years ago. He recommended they be brought to the high school. Superintendent Arnold and business manager Marion Lantz stated they would check with the librarian but thought they were already in the high school library since all high school materials in the several schools had been moved to the new school. Mr. Scott asked board members if they would be interested in a set of books by Dr. Lloyd Douglas. The books are personally autographed by Dr. Douglas, who at one time attended North 'Webster’s school. Dr. Robert Craig, board member, questioned the superintendent and business manager about valuable books in the library and of not leaving them out of the room. Mr. Arnold stated that special attention should be given to such books. Mr. Scott will talk with Mr. Lantz at a later date about presenting the books to the school. 1 Approval was given to the following certificates of payment: Lakeland Community School Corporation — Schmidt Electric Shop, Inc., $23,278.50; Burton Plumbing-Heating Co., Inc., sl,800; W.
