The Federal Trade Com
mission ha» launched a
nationwide consumer educa
tion campaign to combat
d ecep tive a d v e rtia in g and
other unfair practices of some
private vocational schoola.
In a statement released in
Washington, F T C Chairman
L e w is A . Engm an said:
"American consumers are be
coming increasingly attracted
to the promising value of a
vocational education. Along
with this growing popularity
there ia an increasing need
for prospective students to
make a careful evaluation of
a specific vocational course
or school before they make
any financial commitment.
The essential criterion for
that evaluation should be the
value of the school's training
in helping students get a
good job."
The FTC is now investi
gating the advertising and
other practices of more than
.'100 vocational schools to
determine possible violations
of the FTC Act and industry
guides issues in May. 1972.
FTC Consumer Education
Director A. H erb ert Ressing
said that abuses practiced by
some of the private voca
ional schools have made this
■n issue of national concern.
"Vocational school education
can be valuable," he stated.
“ We know that it can help
people get better skills and
(letter jobs."
“ U n fo rtu n a te ly ." Ressing
continued, "some private vo
cational schools are using
false and deceptive practices
to lure students into schools,
where education they receive
is of little or no value (or
getting a good job.
The
students may end up spend
ing hundreds of dollars on a
completely worthless educa
tion.
“I t is a tragic loss of time
and money
both for the
student and for the govern
ment. Veterans Administra
tion benefits for vocational
school edu catio n -- corre-
s|H>ndence and resident
amounted to $381 million in
1972.
Yet in a five year
period (1966-1971) 75 percent
of all v e te ra n s re c e iv in g
benefits for correspondence
training failed to complete
the course, according to the
fir ttfo n t

Accounting Office Report.
"In addition, the U.S. I)e
partm ent of Health, Educa
tion and W elfare guaranteed,
under the federally insured
loan program, approximately
$260 million for vocational
education in 1972.
HEW
indicates that since Novem
her, 1972, approximately 75
percent of all defaults paid
have been for students from
vo cation al schools.
T his
share of default claims is
a la rm in g ly disproportionate
since vocational loans repre
sented only about 10 to 15
percent of new loan volume
at the time these loans were
made.
"W orking through key com
m u n icato rs such as high
school counselors, m ilitary
and VA counselors and state
em p lo ym en t agencies, the
F T C will bring its message
to prospective students on a
personal basis. In addition,
public service announce
ments have been provided to
every major radio and TV
station in the country, along
with bus transit posters in 32
of the largest metropolitan
areas."
Ressing said the program
was aimed at getting pros
pertive vocational school stu
dents to ask four questions
of prospective employers be
fore they sign up with any
private vocational school
career or resident.
The
questions are:
Would you hire grad
uates of the school?
How many have you
hired in the last year?
W ere they hired because
of school training?
-- Did training make any
difference in starting salary?
He explained that the vo
rational schools offer the
promise of providing training
for better jobs.
But some
schools:
offer training that em
ployers themselves prefer to
provide
train students for jobs
that are not available

Oregon Attorney General
lx*e Johnson warned Ore
gonians to be on the lookout
for a number of individuals
operating as “Southern Base
m ent W a te rp ro o fin g Com
pany” and “Northern Base
m ent W a te rp ro o fin g Com
pany". The two firms, which
are based in Missouri, are
alleged to I«’ considering
operations in the state of
Oregon.
Information re
ceived by Johnson's Con
sum er P ro te c tio n D ivis io n
from a similar Division of the
Attorney General's office in
Missouri indicates that the
firm advertises that they can
waterproof hasements and
foundations through a pres
sure pumping method where
by a mixture of sodium ben
tonite is mixed with water
and forced into the cracks of
the foundation through which
the w ater is leaking. John
son said "According to our
sources in the Missouri A t
torney General's office, tests
performed there have been
established that the sodium
bentonite will not perform as
represent«!.
The company
uses a ‘90 day set up period'
to avoid im m e d ia te com
plaints. I t also has a money
back guarantee which is ap
parently worthless. The set
up period permits the indi
viduals involved to move on
before the failure of their
product is noted."
Johnson urged all citizens
who encounter represents
tives of the two firms or
operation* similar to those
attributed to the two firms
to contact his Consumer P ro
lection Division in Portland
immediately. The telephone
number is 229 5522.
