VocATIONAL EDUCATION BELONGS TO 
STATE 
According to Representative Tread- 
way of Massachusetts, his state is 
supporting an educational plan along 
vocational and agricultural lines and 
the work has been very successful. 
Mr. ‘Treadway expresses the senti- 
ment of Massachusetts as favorable 
to further extensions of this work, 
but he believes that it should be done 
by the states, and that the part of 
the government should be confined 
to federal aid.
