The Government plans to utilize toys between the ages of 16 and 20 Tears next iw muunirj, es pecially In farming," said Prof. E. jllbey of the University of Chicago, who attended the conference of spe cialists in the training of teachers of Industrial training and manual arts 'here last week. -The plan will be carried out by the Department of Labor through the stale councils of defense, each of Tthieh has a chairman in charge of hoys' work. A national conference of these chairmen was held in Chicago last week at which the national or janUer, WJlliam Hall of the Depart Bent of Labor, explained the work."

A textbook is being pre pared by the College of Agriculture of the University or Illinois to be nsed in the courses. Made Experiment Last Summer. Last spring, Mr. Filbey took twenty-three boys into the country and after carefully choosing theh farmers, who agreed to train the boys In all the phases of farming, he placed them on the farms. The boys were paid according to what they were worth. Some of them earned $30 a month while others barely earned their board. But at the end of the summer they knew more about farming than the most of the boys who were reared on the farms. Two of the boys have entered Colleges of Agriculture and three of their fathers have bought farms as a result of the experience last summer. Mr. Filbey expects to take fifty boys into the country this spring. Federal Aid Explained. How federal aid for the preparation of teachers of trade and industrial subjects Is given to the states under the Smith-Hughes Act was explained in detail by R. J. Leonard, district agent of the Federal Board for Voca tional Education, at the conference. "The Smith-Hughes Act has no stated policies," he said, "but each state submits its plan, and if it is approved and the state board retains control of the institution in which the teaching is done, federal aid will be given. "The teachers' training fund is ma turing. After 1921 It will amount to $1,000,000. The amount which a state may receive is apportioned automatic ally. If a state does not make pro vision for vocational training before 1921. It will not be able to get fed eral aid thereafter."
