The great need in Indiana is for part-time courses for general educa- 

 tion. Such courses are needed immediatelj^ for about 10,000 boys and 

 girls. Such courses should be eligible for extra State aid, and the law 

 should be modified to provide adequately for this educational obligation. 



Part y. The Need of Vocational Surveys and Analyses 



§1. The Limitations of the Census Data. The census data were de- 

 rived in 19 09 and 1910, and occupational data concern the State as a 

 whole and cities of over 25,000 inhabitants. 



§2. Local Occupational Surveys. A simple method must be derived 

 by which local school authorities may themselves obtain data concern- 

 ing age, sex, nationality, and occupational distribution of workers and 

 their education and educational deficiencies. 



§3. Occupational Analyses. Occupational studies are vitally needed 

 in mining, stone quarrying, slaughtering and meat packing, in the 

 manufacture of cutlery and surgical instruments, sewing-machines, au- 

 tomobiles, railroad and street cars and car parts, carriages and agri- 

 cultural implements, and in the chemical industries.
