direction. The College is^to be'congratulated 'on" having been able to 

 secure from its own graduates two such eminently well prepared people 

 for this new but important field of college service. 



^ (f) Teacher Training. By action of your honorable body I was made 

 director of teacher training for both men and women after the passage 

 of the Federal law, providing grants of money to educational institutions 

 in which vocational teacher training was given. As director of teacher 

 training it has been my duty to supervise the work of teacher training in 

 agriculture and home economics in order that I might wisely guide young 

 men and women students who were prepared to teach. It has also been 

 my duty to give to them technical courses in education which I have done 

 to the best of my ability. By request of the State Board for Vocational 

 Education I was permitted to give a portion of my time for the benefit 

 of that Board in directing and developing vocational education in the 

 State. During the past year I have given approximately one-fourth of 

 my time to this work. In that capacity it has been my duty to organize 

 the vocational courses to be given in the public schools and for this I 

 prepared a plan for vocational education in Michigan, which was approved 

 by the State Board of Control and by the Federal Board. 



I have also prepared a number of bulletins, giving explicit instruction 

 concerning the development of the different types of vocational education. 



I have also acted as advisor to the state supervisors of the several 

 types of vocational education. While serving in this dual capacity of 

 acting director of vocational education for the State and as director of 

 teacher training for the College, I have endeavored to promote the best 

 types of education in both lines. 



Respectfully submitted, 

 WALTER H. FRENCH, 

 Professor of Agricultural Education.
