First annual report of the Colorado State Board for Vocational Education 

 (Ann. Rpt. Colo. State Bd. Vocat. Ed., 1 {1918), pp. 23, figs. S).— This is a re- 

 port for the first fiscal year under the Smith-Hughes Act. 



Of the total Federal funds, amounting to $15,000, available for this work, 

 $5,000 was devoted to the teaching of agriculture. $1,000 to the teaching of home 

 economics, and $5,000 to the training of teachers, viz, $1,000 each for the train- 

 ing of agricultural and trade teachers, and $3,000 for the training of home 

 economics teachers. Practically all of the expenses for the administration of 

 the act were met out of the maintenance funds of the Colorado Agricultural 

 College, local school districts, and other cooperative agencies. 



The agricultural project work was engaged in by 125 students and ranged 

 from raising a garden to many acres of farm croi)S. Potato, poultry, and trac- 

 tor projects are outlined to indicate how the work was conducted. All home 

 economics funds were used to promote the teaching of home economics classes in 

 consolidated rural schools, of which two were aided, and the plans for 1918-19 

 provide for a continuance of this practice. 



The training of teachers of vocational agriculture and home economics was 

 done at the Colorado Agricultural College, the students receiving actual teaching 

 experience in these subjects in the Colorado School of Agriculture, located on 

 the college campus.
