A—12 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., JANUARY 12, 1930—PART ONE. L AUDS VOCATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEM New York Official Says 7,000 Buffalo School Pupils Are Taught Trades. Vocational education is on a par with | academtc schooling in Buffalo, where | 7,000 pupils are students of the trades, Dr. E. C. Hartwell, superintendent of schools in New York City, told the advisory committee on vocational edu- cation here in its meeting at the Franklin Administration Building Fri- day afternoon. Buffalo's vocational education system has attained its pressnt high standing, Dr. Hartwell explained. by admitting to its trade schools only the pupils of the normal or higher intelligence rating. Thus, he said, the “stigma” which is | attached to trade schools is many cities | has been removed from those institu- | tions in Buffalo, in which 35 trades | are taught, with facilities valued at more than $4,000,000. Cites Special Requirement. The Buffalo school system also re- quires the completion of the elementary school course before any pupll is admit- ted to the vocational schools, the super- intendent explained. Once in the schools, a pupil spends approximately one-haif of his time in shop work, while the other part of the day is occupied with regulation academic pursuits. The | academic courses, however, it was ex- | plained, are adapted to ths pecullar | needs of the student artisans. The extra- | curricular activities which are features of the academic school student life also | are found in the vocational schools of | Buffelo. Teachers in the trade schools of Buf- falo, Dr. Hartwell said, are divided into two general classes. Those who instruct in the academic subjects are made to meet the same qualifications which are placed upon the regular aca- demic schools, while the trade instruc- tors are men drawn from the industries fhemselves who have been given some pedagogic training. Salary Rates Explained. While the trade instructors’ salaries are comparatively high, Dr. Hartwell made it plain that they do not equal the union scale. The compensation is equalized, however, because the teach- ing tradesmen are assured of regular work, shorter hours and pension ad- vantages. ‘The Buffalo trade schools have the xupiron and friendly counsel of the trades. A placement officer is main- tained to seek positions for the grad- uate artisans. Friday's meeting was presided over by John B. ipoys, representative the Washington Central Labor Union, whose friendly criticism of the District'’s vocational education system brought about the appointment of the ad ry group by Dr. Charles F. Carusi, school board president and | chairman of that committee. Follow- ing Dr. Hartwell's address, members of the committee asked questions and ad- | vice for the establishment of an im- gvvcd vocational training system in ‘ashington. i Man Who Loaned Coat to President Faces Check Case By the Associated Press. DETROIT, January 11.—The man who loaned President Hoover his waincoat Wednesday faced charges of passing a worthless $40 check. He is Donald Henderson, who supplied a coat for the President when the latter came into the Detroit City Hall dripping wet Iast October. Henderson told po- lice he had lost his money in the stock market crash. In his pocket was a letter from the President, another from Henry Ford and a Christmas card from the Presi- dent and Mrs. Hoover, all inspired by the raincoat incident, which occurred during Thomas Edison’s Golden Jubilee of Light. Henderson gave his age as 32 and his address as a local hotel here. He was alleged to have cashed the worthless check in a department store. MAJ.C. M.
