2,000 Trained Last Year i,
Expansion Of Vocational
Courses Now Planned, Says
Coordinator J. Brookins
Approximately 2000 persons in the Roaeburjr area were
reached in some form of vocational or adult education
training during the last year. Efforts are being made to
reach even more, according to Jack Brookins, adult edu
cation coordinator for the Roseburg school district.
Speaking before the Roseburg Kiwanig club Tuesday
noon. Brooking outlined the adult education program and
discussed its application to the Roseburg area.
Tracing the history, Roseburg
was one of the first, if not the
first high school in the nation, to
conduct a trades and industrial pro
gram, said Brookins. The program
originated locally from an idea by
Prof. Nichols of Oregon State col
lege, and Tom McKeniie was hired
to take over.
The adult education program is
broken down into five services: ag
riculture, which includes high
school Future Farmers of Amer
ica training and veterana on the
farm program; vocational home
making; distributive or retail
sales; vocational guidance, and
trades and industrial education, or
T 4 I.
Brookins la primarily concerned
with the T & I program. This, be
said, includes evening trade exten
aion training and public services,
such as police and fireman schools;
part time apprenticeship training
and preparatory trades training.
The part time program provides
for studenta to attend school part
time and train half time outside
of school. This last year 42 stu
dents worked on 27 distinct occu
pations. The student spends about
75 percent of hia time on the job
and atudying phases of the job. He
works under a apecial agreement
with the employer, stipulating
wages and working conditions.
The program, aaid Brookins, la
concerned witb meeting the stu
dent's needs, to permit him to de
velop hia own Initiative and apti
tude and to earn while he is at
tending school.
Aptitvde Testa Given
While a atudent is given an op
portunity to choose hia work, in
terest tests through the school and
aptitude testa in cooperation with
the employment service are con
ducted aa a criteria for placement.
The program ia inexpensive 1 n
that local buainess establishments
and shops are used as laboratoriea
for the students in their training.
The response of employers has
been very satisfactory, according
to Brookins.
Other phases of the program per
tain to adult training. Included are
both veterana on the job training
and non veteran apprenticeship.
The training consists of appren
ticable trades, requiring 4UO0 o r
more hours and retail trades, re
quiring less than 4UU0 hours o f
training. Of M out of school train
ees, 26 were noa veterans and the
othera veterans.
Adult education class enrollment
has climbed 300 percent. Total of
787 persons was enrolled in t h e
program. Thia includea vocational
training, in which the district Is
partly reimbursed by the govern
ment for the cost, and other train
ing for which there ia no reim
bursement. An apprentice training on t h e
job must go to school 144 hours a
year. A class is set up for any
trade In which there are more than
four members enrolled.
Public Jobs Included
Apprenticeship classes enrolled
147 students. In addition two police
acnoois were conducted and a lire'
man training program was carried
on throughout the year. There was
a class for custodians, one for
trade extension and one of mathe
matics for electricians. It Is honed
to expand the classea next year to
include more public services, such
aa waitress training. A survey will
dc mane to determine tne need
also for war production training.
Under adult homemaking, 130
women registered for upholstery
ana nome decoration classea. A
pre-natal class was conducted by
tne oince ot Dr. t. J. wainscott,
county health officer.
Of the non-government reim
bursed class program 363 persons
have been enrolled in such classes
aa general extension college work,
arts and erafta. wood working and
metal working classes. Plans are
to expand thla program. A fly tie
in g class ia suggested.
The report of Dr. Holy, em
ployed by the stale department of
education to study the school sys
tem of Oregon, urged greater de
velopment of adult education and
the establishment of junior col
leges. Many adults have asked for
classes making it possible for them
to get their high school diplomas,
Brookins said.

Those who own taxicabs are experts on

living depends on their judgment in
selecting the right car.
Thia selection is not made on Mhunch"

In the cold light of fact, taxicab owners
test all makea of cars for everything

Isn't thia pretty convincing proof that
Plymouth is the car for your money, too?
But yon don't have to take somebody

Then you can put the Plymouth through
