Deductions Relative to Educatiox

§2. Local Occupational Surveys 



The necessity for local communities knowing the extent of the 

 presence of various occupational pursuits for purposes of voca- 

 tional education has been fully demonstrated in previous sections. 

 It is impossible for most Indiana cities to engage ''survey experts'" 

 to gather these facts. If such information is to be obtained for 

 the cities of Indiana, it must be gathered by those within the 

 school systems. A simple method must be derived so that teachers 

 and principals may efficiently study their ovm cities and determine 

 for themselves the local needs. Two or three occupational surveys 

 must be made in Indiana with a view of establishing a method of 

 procedure which will be simple and accurate. The necessary in- 

 formation will concern age. sex, nationality, and occupational dis- 

 tribution of workers, and the education and educational deficiencies 

 of workers. 



§3. Occupational Analyses. 



The necessity for occupational studies has been established. In 

 Indiana such studies are vitally Deeded in mining, in stone quarry- 

 ing, in slaughtering and meat-packing, in the chemical industries, 

 in the manufacture of sewing-machines, automobiles, railroad and 

 street ears and car parts, surgical instruments and cutlery, and 

 carriages and agricultural implements.
