Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vocational Education, Plan of the State Board for Vocational Education, Vol. 2 The Assembly of Virginia of 1918, passed a law accepting the conditions under which the Federal id provided by the Smith-Hughes Act to provide for the promotion of vocational education may be secured. The Virginia statute appropriated money to meet dollar for dollar the Federal funds for the following purposes: (a) For the salaries of teachers, supervisors, or directors of agricultural subjects. (b) For the salaries of teachers of trades and industrial subjects and home economics. (c) For the maintenance of courses preparing teachers, supervisors, and directors of agricultural subjects, and teachers of trades and industrial and home economics subjects. Under the Virginia Act, the State Board of Education is named as the State Board for Vocational Education and therefore assumes the responsibility, in co-operation with the Federal Board for Vocational Education, of carrying out the provisions of the Federal law. The present plan is offered in order to define as clearly as possible the policy of the State Board for Vocational Education. It attempts to furnish pertinent information to local school boards or institutions which may apply for funds for vocational education, and also to give those which accept or have accepted funds, sufficient directions to insure full compliance with the provisions of the law. The State Board earnestly desires that vocational education receive the serious consideration it deserves. Social and economic conditions in our State demand that constructive thought be given to the development of trained workers on the farm, in the shop and in the home. It will be the policy of the Board to co-operate in every way possible in the development of this training. However, careful restrictions and regulations must guard the use of Federal aid State funds for vocational education to insure against waste and to guarantee reasonable vocational efficiency. I. Administration and Supervision. 1. General Direction. The Smith-Hughes Bill creates a Federal Board for Vocational Education for the general administration of the provisions of the act. The State Board of Education is the State Board for Vocational Education. The President of the State Board, Harris Hart, is the chief executive officer of the State Board for Vocational Education. The county or city school board is the local authority with which the State Board will deal, and the officers of such boards are the responsible agents for the proper local administration of the funds for vocational education. The Federal Board will deal with the vocational education in Virginia, only through its trustees, the State Board.
