No legislation will be necessary for the inauguration of the new policy of vocational training. Col. Forbes asserted,,, nor will the cost be greater than under the present system decentralized instruc tion. While the universities will not be self-supporting, he added. farm products can be raised to pro vide partially for the subsistence of the men.
