The new manual training depart-
ment in the college of engineering
i which makes its debut today was as
Listed in its establishment by the
federal government. The last con-
fess passed the Smith-Hughes bill
which authorized the establishment
of a National Vocational Education
Board for the United States. .
The purpose of this board is to os c
vocational education in the colleges
and universities of the country
President Stratton D. Brooks of tm
university is a member of the state ,
educational board. !
This new department will be |
housed in the addition to the engin-
eering building which is being
planned and will soon be under con-
struction. New equipment has been
secured for this department from the
prep school at Tonkawa and a large
amount has been purchased. Prof.
I y S Davis will have charge of this
I training. Tin* federal government will
1 assist only in the maintenance of the
department. Many students who are
| desirous in becoming manual train-
1 inir teachers in the high schools are
expected to enroll in this department.
For the past several years there
has been a demand o.i the engineering
faculty for trained teachers in
manual training and the plan is for
this department to fill this long felt
need. The exact amount of money
! that the government will give to this
department is not : 't known except
that the money mi be used for
maintenance and can not be used tor
the erection of new buildings. The
enrollment in this course is exceeding
the fondest expectations of the reg-
