FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE State Board for Vocational Education ACCEPTANCE OF FEDERAL AID FOE VOCATIONAL EDU- CATION Section 209. That the State of Texas hereby accepts the provisions of the Act of Congress approved February 23, 1917, entitled: "An Act to provide for the promotion of vocational education ; to provide for coopera- tion with the States in the promotion of such education in agriculture trades and industries and home economics subjects; to provide for co- operation with the States in preparation of teachers of vocational sub- jects; and to appropriate money and regulate its expenditure." The good faith of the State is hereby pledged to make available through ap- propriations for the several purposes of said Act funds sufficient at least to equal the sums allotted, from time to time, to this State for the ap- propriations made by said Act and to meet all conditions necessary to entitle the State to the benefits of said Act. (a) The State Treasurer is hereby designated custodian of all funds allotted to this State from the appropriations made by said Act, and he shall receive and provide for the proper custody and disbursement of the same in accordance with this Act. (b) That the State Board of Education is hereby designated as the State Board for Vocational Education, authorized, and is hereby given all necessary power to cooperate, as provided in and required by the aforesaid Act of Congress with the Federal Board of Vocational Education in the administration of the provisions of said Act; and to do all things necessary to entitle the State to receive the benefits thereof. (c) That there is hereby appropriated out of the money in the State Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the scholastic year 1917-18, $29,950, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to be used for salaries of teachers, supervisors, or directors of agricultural edu- cation in the public schools; $11,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, for salaries of teachers, supervisors, or directors of trade, and industrial and home economics subjects in the public schools; and $21,200, or so much thereof as may be necessary, for training of teach- ers of vocational subjects in the colleges of the State, to be conditioned upon receiving a like sum from the Federal Board of Vocational Education to be used for similar purposes; and for the scholastic year 1918-19, $44,925, or so much thereof as may be necessary, for salaries of teachers, supervisors, or directors of agri- cultural education in the public schools; $16,500, or so much thereof as may be necessary for paying salaries of teachers, supervisors or di- rectors of trade, and industrial and home economics subjects in the public schools; $29,680, or so much thereof as may be necessary, for training 8 Eeport of State Boaed foe Vocational EDUCATioisr. of teachers of vocational subjects in the colleges of the State, to be conditioned upon receiving a like sum from the Federal Board of Voca- tional Education to be used for similar purposes. (d) It is hereby expressly provided that all appropriations by local school boards for the purposes of this Act, and all appropriations by the State in its educational budgets that come within the provisions of this Act shall be allowed to compensate for the appropriations herein provided; and that the appropriations in this Act are simply a guar- antee of good faith on the part of the State in the administration of the Federal Vocational Education Act; and are to be actually distrib- uted in whole or in part by the State Board for Vocational Education only in case of necessity to preserve the good name of the State. • (e) That in order for any school to secure the benefits of the ap- propriation for the purposes specified in this Act, an application shall be submitted to the State Board for Vocational Education showing the kinds of vocations for which it is proposed that the appropriations shall be used; the kind of school and equipment; course of study; methods of instruction; qualifications of teachers; and plans for the supervision of vocational education as provided for in the Smith-Hughes Act. Such applications shall be prepared according to forms prescribed by the State Board for Vocational Education and approved by the Federal Board for Vocational Education. It shall be the duty of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, as secretary of the State Board for Vocational Education, to make, through experts selected for that purpose, a thorough investigation of all applications submitted for aid under this Act, and to require a certificate that each school applying for aid under this Act meets substantially the requirements of the law before aid in any amount is granted. (Acts 35th Leg., Chap. 45.) INTEODUCTION The directors of the different phases of the vocational work — agri- culture, trade and industrial education, and home economics — upon as- suming their duties, made a survey of the schools of the State and found that in no case was any school offering courses which would meet the requirements for Federal aid under the Smith-Hughes Law. A great many of the school authorities, especially in those schools where general agriculture, manual training, and home economics were being taught and termed vocational subjects, thought that this law would provide aid for their work. It was difficult in some cases to convince them that such was not the case. The State of Texas having aided these subjects in the past from State funds, it is" easy to see how this view would be taken in regard to the Federal funds. The following general, financial, and statistical reports will give an idea of the work accomplished during 1917-18: Report of State Board for Vocational Education. REPORT OF J. D. BLACKWELL, DIRECTOR OF AGRICUL- TURAL EDUCATION APPOINTMENTS The Director of Agricultural Education was appointed on September 1, 1918; on December 15 an assistant director was selected. PUBLICATIONS The following literature has been prepared, published and distributed : Bulletin 68 — Federal Aid for Vocational Agriculture. Bulletin 92 — A Year's Work in General Agriculture. Bulletin 93 — A Year's Work in Plant Production. Bulletin 94 — A Year's Work in Animal Production. Form D121 — Application Blank for Federal Aid. Forms D136-141— Report Blanks. SCHOOLS VISITED Fifty-nine different high schools were visited during the year in the interest of vocational agriculture. Ninety-seven supervisory visits were made to schools teaching vocational agriculture. The University of Texas, the Agricultural and Mechanical College, the Prairie View Normal and Industrial Institute, and each of the five Normals, were visited in the interest of teacher-training in vocational agriculture. A number of supervisory visits have been made to the Agricultural and Mechanical College. WORK ACCOMPLISHED From the forty-one schools applying for Federal aid in vocational agriculture the following thirty-five were selected for work during 1917-18: Austin, Call, Cleburne, Comanche, Edgewood, El Paso, Grape- land, Harmony, Hempstead, Hillsboro, Jasper, Lewisville, Liberty, Lit- tlefield, Livingston, Marshall, Nat, Oklaunion, Oran, Penelope, Pine- land, Pilot Point, Rock Island, State Orphan Home, Thrall, Tuleta, Whitt, Winnsboro, Woden, Yancey, Clayton Industrial (colored), Filers Industrial, Hallettsville (colored), Rollin, Longview (colored), Powell Point (colored). Of this number, thirty-two have satisfactorily taught the work. Most of these schools have well organized departments of vocational agriculture in which full-time students are taught. But one school, Tuleta, organized and carried on successfully the evening classes. Only a minimum amount allotted to Texas was used in the develop- ment of agricultural education. This was due to the fact that only a limited number of schools could meet the requirements of the Fed- eral and State Boards for Vocational Education. While the State accepted the benefits and provisions of the Smith-Hughes Act and set aside an amount to duplicate Federal aid, it was with the understanding that only such amounts as were necessary for the administration and supervision could be used. As a result, schools desiring to introduce vocational agriculture have found it necessary to duplicate Federal 10 Eeport of State Board for Vocational Education. funds. This has resulted in the rural high schools in which vocational agriculture will be most practical, being handicapped, since few of them can afford to pay one-half the salary of the vocational teacher. It is to be hoped that the next Legislature will see fit to appropriate a sum sufficient to pay one-fourth the salaries of teachers of vocational sub- jects which amount will be duplicated by the local. community, the total amount in turn being duplicated by Federal funds. This will enable the average rural high school to introduce this much needed instruction. The scarcity of qualified teachers was also a great handicap. A total of 513 pupils enrolled for work, each of whom selected a project. Three hundred and thirteen acres were planted to crop projects ; the remainder of the students selected animal production projects. institutions selected for teacher-training The Agricultural and Mechanical College was selected as the insti- tution in which teacher training in vocational agriculture for white teachers would be given. This College employed three men during 1917-18 who devoted their entire time to the training of teachers of vocational agriculture. Seventy- four students enrolled for this training during the regular school session, while thirty teachers enrolled for the special course for teachers of vocational agriculture offered by the College during the summer term. Practically all of this number will teach vocational agriculture during 1918-19. This institution will continue to train white teachers of voca- tional agriculture during 1918-19. The Prairie View Normal and Industrial Institute has been selected to train colored teachers of vocational agriculture during 1918-19. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE Practically all of the schools teaching vocational agriculture during 1917-18 will continue the work. In addition, the following schools have already applied for Federal aid for 1918-19 : Bellville, Brady, Cleveland, Choate, Crystal City, Crawford, DeLeon, Dilley, Palfurrias, Galilee (colored). Granger, Groesbeck, Grand Saline, Jacksboro, Jones Prairie, Kountze, Loma, Marlin, San Augustine, South Park, Beaumont, and Stephenville. Others desire to apply, provided qualified teachers can be secured. Approximatelv sixty schools are expected to teach vocational agriculture during 1918-19. More attention will be given to the organizing of part-time and even- ing classes in schools teaching full-time students. The entire time of the director and his assistant will be devoted to schools teaching vocational agriculture. IsTo portion of their time will be devoted to general inspection and affiliation of high schools as has been done during the past year. CONFERENCES The first conference of vocational agriculture workers for the State of Texas was held in Austin, Texas, January 18 and 19, 1918. The problems for discussion on the first day of the conference consisted largely of those concerned with the administration of the Smith-Hughes Eepokt of State Boaed for Vocatioxal Education. 11 fund.

HUNSDON, DIRECTOR OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION APPOINTMENT The director of industrial education was appointed on January 15, 1918. PUBLICATIONS In order to get the work of vocational education before the school people it was necessary to publish a bulletin explaining the nature and conditions for granting aid in the work under the Smith-Hughes Law. This was done through the publication of bulletin 76 and application form D135. These were distributed to every school superintendent in Texas where it was considered possible to do vocational work. SCHOOLS VISITED After January 15, 1918, thirty-two visits were made to the larger towns of the State relative to Federal aid for vocational education. At the same time the school was inspected relative to classification and affiliation. The University of Texas and the Agricultural and Mechanical Col- lege were visited and conferences held relative to teacher-training in industrial education, V^'ORK ACCOMPLISHED The following schools have introduced vocational industrial courses since January 15 : San Antonio, Main High School and Brackenridge High School, day vocational classes. The Main High School has intro- duced an evening vocational class in mechanical drawing and a class in radio and buzzer work for men subject to draft. At Houston, six evening classes in radio and buzzer work for men subject to draft were organized. At El Paso, one evening class in radio and buzzer work for men subject to draft was organized. The University of Texas and Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas had organized radio and buzzer classes before January first. The University of Texas presented a plan for teacher-training but was unable to put it into practice during the year 1917-18 on account of not being able to get qualified teachers to conduct the work. A number of schools have submitted plans and made requests for Federal aid for the year 1918-19. The Agricultural and Mechanical College has submitted a plan for training teachers at the College and by itinerant teachers in trade and industrial subjects for 1918-19. Two professors have been employed to handle this work. Plans for this have been submitted to, and ap- proved by, the Federal Board for Vocational Education, It is proposed during the year 1918-19 to lay particular emphasis on the organization of: (1) Part-time classes or schools. (2) Evening schools or classes in war training work. 14 Eeport of State Board for Vocational Education. (3) Evening schools for industrial workers. (4) Training of teachers for vocational industrial work. (5) The organization of day vocational classes. Owing to the fact that the director of industrial education was se- lected so late in the year it was not easy to get the schools to rearrange their programs and organize classes in industrial work. The seed has been sown and should bear good fruit during the year 1918-19. One of the chief difficulties at present is the lack of qualified teachers in industrial subjects. To overcome this difficulty, evening teacher train- ing classes will be conducted in the larger cities of the State and skilled workers will be given an opportunity to fit themselves for teaching dif- ferent phases of industrial education. Provision will also be made for a summer school to be held at the Agricultural and Mechanical College during the summer of 1919 for the purpose of aiding teachers already in the work. EEPOET OF MISS NINA B. CEIGLEE, DIEECTOE OF VOCA- TIONAL HOME ECONOMICS The director in vocational home economics began work on January 13, 1918. publications Bulletin 75 relative to conditions governing Federal aid in voca- tional home economics in the State of Texas and application blank form D132 were prepared and distributed over the State. One hun- dred and twenty-live requests for the publications on Federal aid in vocational home economics were met as soon as the literature was off the press. SCHOOLS visited Since February 1, 1918, forty schools were visited relative to Federal aid in vocational home economics. Of this number twenty-one schools were visited by the director of vocational home economics. Twenty- seven visits were made, since seven schools were visited twice. Twenty- nine schools were also visited by the director of vocational home eco- nomics in regard to classification and affiliation. Whenever possible, the director inspected the school relative to both affiliation, classification, and Federal aid in vocational home economics. In this way a dupli- cation of visits was eliminated. The University of Texas, the College of Industrial Arts, and the Prairie View Normal and Industrial Institute were visited relative to teacher-training and home economics education. Vi^ORK accomplished The following schools established day schools in vocational home eco- nomics the latter half of this year: Denison, Sherman, Clayton In- dustrial School, Manor (colored). Four vocational home economics evening schools were conducted in the Houston public school, one white and three colored, from October 1, 1917, to" April 1, 1918. •Nine day schools have submitted applications for Federal aid in voca- Eeport of State Board for Vocational Education. 15 tional home economics for 1918-19. They have been visited by one of the directors of vocational education, and the applications approved by the State Board for Vocational Education. Four evening schools in Houston have applied for vocational home economics for next year. Two schools have made surveys and expect to establish part-time classes next year. teacher-training institutions A teacher-training department was conducted in the College of Indus- trial Arts, 1917 to 1918, and will continue during 1918-19. The University of Texas has established a teacher-training depart- ment, which will begin work in September, 1918. budget for vocational home economics The Federal fund available for vocational home economics for 1918-19 under the provisions of the Smith-Hughes Law is only $3289.02. Two- thirds of the portion of this amount, or $2218.14, which is the fund available for day schools and evening schools of vocational home eco- nomics, has already been approved by the State Board. present problems Every effort is being made by correspondence, the distribution of pub- lications, surveys, and visitation to establish part-time classes. Since at least one-third of the sum appropriated to any State for the salaries of teachers of trade, and industrial and home economics subjects, shall, if expended, be applied to part-time schools or classes for workers over fourteen years of age who have entered upon employment, it is in con- formity with the spirit and purpose of the Smith-Hughes Law to stress this phase of the work. Plainview and Hillsboro are planning to inaugurate part-time classes ; it is the main purpose of these classes to meet the needs of the girls over fourteen years of age who are out of school. Instruction will be given in home economics and in civics. Special plans are being made to encourage' trade instruction for the high school girl who wishes to become more efficient from the produc- tive standpoint. conclusion The schools which have established vocational home economics de- partments have put forth every effort to meet all the requirements of the Smith-Hughes Law and to cooperate in every respect with the State Board for Vocational Education and the State Department of Education. The interest manifested by the school authorities, the teachers em- ployed, and the results accomplished have been most gratifying to the director. 16 Report of State Board foe Vocational Education.
