Three Speakers Discuss
Farm Problems of Veterans
Problems of the veteran return
ing- to the farm were discussed
at . the College recently by three
authorities on vocational train
ing. The speakers, Dr. J. C.
Wright of the U. S. Office of Edu
cation, Dr. A. K. Getman, super
visor of vocational agriculture
education in New York State, and
Major Ralph C. Wenrich, one
time Pennsylvania vocational ed
ucator,, described their work and
plans to the students in agricul
tural education.
tin reference to vocational edu
cation Dr. Wright said, "Public
schools are finding they must, be
prepared to offer the type of
education that is required by the
people." •
According to Dr. Wright, the
results of a survey of• 117 busi
nesses show that college trained
men , are performing duties that
an untrained man could handle
in(4o per cent of the jobs. These
johs could be done just as ef
ficiently by vocationally trained
men. Thus we have a need for
more and better vocational train
ing.
The speaker, said, "We cannot
.see what lies ahead; but in plan
ning •for-the. future we must con
sider the armed forces, women
in . industry, and the youth who
have left the farm. We do not
w.ant.them to return to a &Hod of
unemployment."
nr. Getman speaking of the
plans pending in New York State
told of the long range agricul
tural. training program. Returning
veterans can receive aid, ad
vice, and instruction for as many
as P '2'o' year.S. Those interested in
agriculture as a career, and. there
are more than 100,000 such men
in'. New York State according to
" estimates, can start their train
ink under the institute plan. This
bi 4 -a system of junior colleges
,I,..wliteh•give post-high. school ag
xitultural training. Expenses at
",h.
these institutions will he paid by
hthe Veterans Administration.
hPlans for training veterans
1 embrace
.the whole field of agri
"•-culture from production to mer
! eliandising, and educational re
' quirements will 'be waived for the
soldiers who want to participate,"
said Dr. Getman.
.Major Wenrich, graduate of
the. College and director of train
, ing at *Camp Carson, Colo., gave
a picture of the reconditioning
„ wounded soldiers receive. This
involves both, mental and emo
tional training as well as physi
cal restoration.
• illtistrating his "points with'
slides of patients at work, Major
Wenrich. described how a new
convalescent is examined and in
tetviewed to "determine what sort
. of , training would' be best. Pa
tients may at their own request
'be 'transferred to: another type of
training if they feel they are not
fitting in well where they are.

'No Saturday (lasses'
Proves False Alarm
When a notice on an Ath Hall
bulletin board caught the eye of
a passing coed she shrieked with
delight. 'She was soon surround
ed by all the girls within earshot,
and each exclaimed at the extra
ordinai-y news.
The noticb on the bulletin board
gave a few facts but the one that
stood the most was the phrase "no
Saturday classes."
The news was spread about the
dorm and all those who suffer
(from Saturday-morning-lack-of
sleep were thrilled. But the real
meaning of the phrase had to be
discovered. Almost in tears the
girls looked again When an ob
servant coed pointed out that
above the words "no Saturday
classes" it said, "Until further no
tice the Riding Club class hours
have been changed."

Recorder Fulfills
A Tailor's Prayer
Lose a button? The man most
likely to match that lost button,
is Alexander W. Stewart, chief
recorder in the Registrar's office.
Stewart, has three to four thous
and buttons at his farm near
Bellefonte.
In accounting for the large var
iety, the collector said, "Many
,people who know of my 'hobby
have given me a number of un
usual buttons," Buttons of every
conceivable size, shape, color, and
design can be found in the re
corder's accumulation.
Stewart has tied most of the
collection to strips of linen and
is able to say that there are no
duplicates. He also has eight to
ten hundred unused paper
matches that bear trade names
from all over the country.
