§2, liocalization of Manufacturing Establishments 



Considering the problem of places in which industrial voca- 

 tional courses and schools should be established in Indiana, the 

 localization of industrial establishments in various classes of places 

 is an essential factor. This information is given for places of 

 10,000 population and over and places under 10,000 in Table 28. 

 With 29.7 per cent of the population living in places of over 

 10,000 and 37.3 per cent of the number of establishments in such 

 places we note that the percentage of wage-earners is 60.3 per cent. 

 Although a greater percentage of wage-earners are to be reached 

 in the places of over 10,000 population, there are, nevertheless, a 

 considerable number who are industrially employed in the places 

 of smaller size ; a number sufficiently great to warrant serious con- 

 sideration and to complicate the problem of the establishment of 

 industrial vocational schools and courses.
