Operated under the new system and aims of the Smith-Hughes Vocational Education Act, manual training here this next term will be an entirely different proposition than it has been in the past, Superintendent Phillips explained today. Only 20" boys of at least 14 years of age will be admitted to the class. He said that it is im- perative for all boys interested in the manual training work to ap- pear at tomorrow afternoon’s meet- ing. Turn Practical Recent approval of the Juneau Schoo! Board gave permission to operate the manual training class- es under the Smith-Hughes Act. This plan is a departure from the standard form of teaching manual training. Instead of working on book-ends, hat racks and similar articles, the students actually con- struct work of a trade nature, while, at the same time, they learn the theoretical side of the pro- fession through a class-room period. It was explained that manual training under the Smith-Hughes Act is primarily to train boys in some of the fields of trade in an attempt to take the place of the apprenticeship system which now is practically in the discard. However, such intensive work—it will be possible to earn 16 credits in two years at high school in man- ual training—should not be taken, Superintendent Phillips warned, if students wish to enter college.
