Report On World Of
Work In Local Schools

(Continued from Page 1)

~World of work was the term
used by the committee to replace
the historic designation of. vocational, industrial, or business education,~ said Dr. Brownell, noting
that the latter are restrictive.
~The broader term concerns itself with all children and it is
the job of the publie schools to
help develop each child into an
economic asset~ for his community.~ HON ary o

World of wotk, ~saidi'Dr: Byerly,
should céncern itself with all of
the elements of education which
have significant bearing on the
employability and effective performance on the job. He cited
particularly the practical necessity for. mastery of the art of
communication, mathematics, and
other traditional skills as being
as important for the retail merchant as for the college professor.

In Metropolitan Detroit the
number of young people who will
enter the job market during the
next ten years - between the ages
of *18 and 21 - is about 10,000
a year, according to the report.
It is important that each - regardless of level of skill involved - be
trained for a saleable skill, he
said.

The report calls for an expansion of facilities and offerings at
all comprehensive high schools.
Cody, Chadsey, and Pershing high
schools, stated the report, have
more adequate programs but need
extensions as do Cooley, Eastern,
Northern, and Central. high
schools to meet the needs of
students.

The. committee underlined the
need for more counseling of a
~developmental~ rather than a
~crisis~ nature in order for each
child to find his rightful place in
the working market.

Detroit, for a number of years,
has had a fine cooperative education program in retail, commercial, and industrial areas~recognized. the committee. But it needs
expansions of each to serve more
students. Need for more supervised work programs were also
emphasized.

Other recommendations made by
the committee of Detroit educators called for an opportunity. for
each child to experience more
manipulative skills - choose to
work with materials in laboratories, shops, or studios and in more

than one interest area; need for
recognition by teachers and school
administrators of the equality of
status of all courses and programs
in each school; involving advisory committees from labor, management, and business in planning proper world of work curriculums.

The report also asks for cooperation between the Michigan Employment Security Commission
and. the schools in job placement,
more testing from specialists and
facilities and research studies for
appraising the program.

A cooperative urban youth corps
with city, state, federal and other
public and private agencies working with the Board of Education
to help out-of-school youth prepare for employment and for
placement was urged by the
group.

There should be at least one
senior high school in each of the
nine school districts with facilities
to train the youth coming up
through the special education program of the schools, said the report.

For the student who desires
and needs greater specialization
than is offered in his~area comprehensive high school, there
should be encouragement to attend the special district high
schools where his specialty is programmed. These special district
high schools should be expanded
comprehensive high schools carrying the full range of specialties
from the science and arts program for the superior students
to the simplest world of work
training for short-term. skills.

Cass Technical High School
(2421 Second) should be continued
in its present location with expansion of building and grounds
and offer its advanced scientific
and technical specialties program
with extensions of these, the report cited. This school serves
the entire city in special technical interests of students.

Trade programs such as Washington or Trombly offers, cooperative programs as presented at
Wright should be integrated within the special district high school,
according: to the committee report. Aero Mechanics high School,
now located adjacent to the City
airport, should be continued with
the needs for a new location due
to expansion of City Airport.

Colleges Face Huge

Enrollment

ANN ARBOR ~ If past trends
continue, Michigan will have

~ three potential college students

in 1965 for every two on campus
today.

This projection is made in

publication of The University of
Michigan Institute for Public Administration and Department of

Sociology.
Based on data from the U. S.
census and Office of Education, |

Increase

vails in the future, the number
of students seeking admission to
college will double by 1970 and
possibly triple within 15 years,
according to David Goldberg (PhD
author of the U-M study).
During the 1950-60 decade,
Goldberg points out, Michigan
moved somewhat faster than the
rest of the nation in providing college education for its children.

Buying Shoes For
Back To School

By Betty Barber

School bells will soon be ringing calling thousands of youngsters back from summer vacations. For many 5 year olds it
will be the start of a new adventure. '

Mothers and children are busy
shopping for school clothings and
supplies.

Before you do any shopping,
Mother, take an inventory of the
garments on hand that can be
worn to school, then decide what
new items are needed. For the
child who is growing rapidly, do

not buy the year~s supply of
school clothing now, as he may
soon outgrow them. Buy garments of sturdy fabrics with good
construction. Beware of inexpensive garments as they wear out. oa shrink, and are cut smaller. School clothing- must withSaad many washings and hard
