In assigning the time to be devoted to each of the technical 

 courses, the committee as well as the conference were well aware 

 of the inadequacy of a time standard, since the contents of each 

 hour must be of different value with each teacher. The above 

 hour assignments, however, are the result of experience and the 

 consensus of opinion of those who have had to deal with the 

 different subjects as to the minimum required to encompass the 

 subject. The same difficulty of hour assignment is experienced 

 as to the division in class work and field work. 



The committee, however, after hearing the opinions of the 

 members of the conference has attempted to suggest an ap- 

 propriate approximate division of time, the sum total of 1,500 

 hours in all being taken as the ultimate standard.
