The pupils in jj the senior high school ~wh0 elect vocational work are to be shifted ,.j on the "work-a-day" plan. One whoje day will be tftven over to j vocational,, efforts, the next day to academic subjects. Two, ipajor purposes are set forth as the ob ?:?:?- ject of this plan: "om--tft develop a more definite skill .on the pa'rt of- the child who 1 capes school ^ during the - senior- high- -schorrrf7^; year?; second, to give to the child -n who continues .his education a u, means of self assistance." Two worthy purposes without doubt are these. The average Negro high school pupil leaving sthoot, whether a graduate or 1 > not, under the hide bound old sys J > tem is fitted for nothing. There ' i? no place to fit in. Especially is this true in these days of changed conditions. Then the child who benefits by such a 'plan will in be able to assist himself by beins m able to do something that must bj be done in the furtherance of his hi education, whether professional or Tl business. This course should bt ni j.'/j/uicii cum win do witn tne troys who can think just a little. The Fi vocational offerings for boys in- Fi ~olu4? Auto-mechanics.' Tbis is a fe new course. 'iV*e only critkism A on that is the long delay in reeog y< nizing the need for such. With be the thousands of automobiles own vi ed and operated by colored people oh ? " it" is nv credit tir-them that there ai^e practically no skillful Auto gl mechanics. Our schools and col- ar Jeffes have got to forget to a large ca extent what was and pay more at- na tention to what ia. There h?e been VI io much Chinese veneration of icestors.
