School Program A "Model"
Enrollment in occupational
education classes 1s growing In
North Carolina. Almost 200,000
high school students took oc
cupational education courses
last year. They represented
about 63 per cent of the school
population. -
During the 1964-65 school year,
on the other hand, only 40 per
cent of : the students were
enrobed. Projections . for the
future show that more than
300,000 students will be enrolled
in occupational education
classes by 1977. They will
represent 80 per cent of the total
student body. g
According to Dr. Charles Law,
Director of Occupational
Education for the State
education agency, the North
Carolina program is growing in
size, scope, and emphasis. In
years past students could study
agriculture, homemaking, and a
number of limited trades of
ferings. Today North Carolina's
comprehensive high schools
make training available in
everything from horticulture to
short-order cooking, and from
office management to marketing
techniques.
State School Superintendent
Craig Phillips considers oc
cupational education one of the
best solutions to the State's
growing dropout problem. By
beginning in the 1971-72 school
year should write to: Scholar

teaching a student about the
working world, the opportunities
available, and how to meet those
opportunities, students who
might otherwise become bored
with school will ' remain
motivated. Occupational
education means relevance to
many.
In moving toward a more
comprehensive occupational
education program the State is
offering courses or instruction to
handicapped youngsters,
younger students, and gearing
subject matter for the disad
vantaged. Students are learning
about the job market as well as
developing actual trade skills.
The Middle Grades Oc
cupational Exploration
Program, authorized by the 1969
General Assembly, provided
exploratory experiences to
students as early as grade six.
The model program, according
to Dr. Law, emphasizes the
relationships between regular
curriculum areas . math,
English, and so forth - and the
world of work.
And in recent action of the
State Board of Education, oc
cupational education has been
"extended downward" so that
regular State and federal funds
may be expanded for seventh
and eighth grade occupational
programs.
Occupational education, said
Dr. Law, is now offered in some
622 high schools across the State.
The programs within these
schools are being expanded to
provide more diversification, he
said.

Annual Appeal
Resolution Passed By
American Cancer Society
"i
The services of The Children's
Home Society of North Carolina
to children and families depend,
in very great measure, on its
annual appeal 1 during the
Christmas season. The goal for
the 1970 Little Red Stocking is
$140,564.
Reporting on the progress of
the Stocking fund, Richard L.
Wharton; Society president,
stated; "We are deeply grateful
to our supporters, whose gifts
through the year and during the
holiday season make it possible
to brins children toeether with
adoptive parents. As ofl
December 17, the Society has
received $68,837 toward our Red
Stocking goal."
Guided by a statewide Board of
Directors, The Children Home
Society serves North Carolina
children and families through its
eight office locations across the
state. Since its founding in 1903,
the Society has placed more than
11,500 children with adoptive
parents. Its services are
voluntarily-supported through
United Funds, which provided 43
per cent of 1970's operating
budget, and through direct gifts
to the Society.
'We need $71,327 to balance
our books at the end of this year
with the cost of services in 1970,"
Wharton urged, "but we sin-
