The Board of Education has taken recognition of this demand and is opening a Vocational Trades Course this fall. The course will be taught by Mr. Elmer Baum, a man who has had twenty years of -practical experience at various building trades. Until a few years ago courses of this nature were known as manual training courses. However, during the past four or five years there has been a step taken to make these courses more definitely practical.

WHEREAS: cal repair, etc., will be invaluable to the householder. Too, it-is important that a householder knows what constitutes good workmanship and good materials. He thereby becomes a good buyer of a home or of services to be performed in or about the building. While the courst is not designed to train boys to become carpenters, plumbers, electricians and the like, it is designed t« give the boy sufficient information so that he will know whether or not he is interested in any of these trades as a lfo>J*©cation. It should prevent any b<m from taking up a trade for which h) would fVnd later In life he had ntfnatural aptitude. The boys will find the rooms completely unprepared, for use. It will be the task of the instructor to supervise the boys in completing the rooms. Since the course is to be ft practical one, no tasks could be more valuable to them than the work involved. They will need to insulatt the ceiling, make work tables, build a tool room and help install the new machinery. The class is prepared for Junior and Senior boys. The state pointed out that students of freshmen and sophomore age are not suf ficiently matured for the course. Too, they feel that two years of pre-vocational training is quite essential. The class will be purely vocational. For this reason, pupils who are going to college are advised not to take this course. It does not give college credits. At first thought this appears to create an objectionable condition, ttut when it is realized that only about one out of every ten boys attend college, it is realized that this course adopts 'itself to nine-tenth of high school boys. It will be possible for a good student to take additional work during the sophomore and junior years and thereby have sufficient credits for college entrance, even though they take the Trades Course as a /Senior. The course will be equivalent to two regular high school subjects, and the students will be required to take only two regular subjects besides the Trades Course. The class covers a period of three hours each day. According to the working plan there will be two classes; one working the entire forenoon, and thf other -during the entire afternoon. The Domestic Science of which Miis May Justen has charge, has also been organized under the Smith-Hughes Statute. This will cause but little change from the way these courses have been handled in the past. Probably the only change which will be of interest to the public is that the pupils will be required to have home projects. Miss Justen will be employed during the summer to super vise such work. situation in Illinois is such that it is of vital concern to "each of our citizens and j WHEREAS, Statistics show that approximately 90 per cent of all traffic accidents result from the indifference, negligence, ignorance, and discourteous conduct of motorists and pedestrians; and WHEREAS, The traffic fatality record for the first six months of 1939 has shown an alarming increase over the same period of 1938 largely because of the improper attitude of the drivers and pedestrians; and WHEREAS, The only means at the command of local and State authorities of overcoming this deplorable condition are education and enforcement; : ,• - * Now, therefore, ;I, fi.'I.
