Newspaper Features, Inc,
In the past six months, 2,400
young men in Georgia have beenj
trained for jobs in trades or indus
tries related to the National Ds2-
sense, under the direction of the
Division cf Vocational Training of
the State Department of Education.
Mcst of these men ars now employ
ed at good wages. It is an interest
ing fact that 201 of them were WPA
workers, and that everyone of these
is now in private employment.
Fifteen hundred men are now in
training classes in Atlahta, Macon,
Savannah, Augusta, Columbus,
Waycross and Woodbury. Classes
will shovtly be opened at Athens,
Daltcn, Cornelia, Toccoa, Gaines
ville, Marietta, Newnan, LaGrange,
Albany, Moultrie, Valdosta and
Thomasville,
The <ccurses now in operation
cover the following subjects:
Electrical workers, automobile
mechanics, aviation mechanics,
carpenters, molding, drafting, pat
tern making, machinists, tocl and
die making, acetelyne welding, elec
tric welding, blue print reading,
related mathematics, radio repair
ing, radio engineering, woodwork
ing for airplanes, weldingz for air
planss, sheet metal workers, pat
tern drafting.
In most instances, the classes are
not taught in schools, but in shops.
A group, for example, learning to
be automobile mechanics, will be
taught in a high-class automobile
service station, their teacher usu
ally being the foreman of the place.
Also, most of the classes are self
taught at night instead of the day
time, and in several instances the
classes are at very unusual hours
of the might, as, (for example), one
class that receives instruction from
Ito 4 A M.
The funds for this program are
supplied by the Federal Govern
ment as a part of the Naticnal De
fense program. The Division of
Vocational Training is headed by
‘M. D. Mobley, who has been engag
ed in vocatiocnal education since his
graduation from college, and who is
highly regarded for his ability and
effectiveness not only by his chief,
Dr. M. D. Collins, State Superin
tendent of Education, but by Geor
gia educators in general,
