Division of Agricultural and Industrial Education The Division of Agricultural and Industrial Education of The University of the State of New York is charged with the general supervision of vocational instruction, as provided for under the State Education Law, the administration of vocational education under the provisions of the Federal Vocational Education act, and with the duty of gathering and making known all obtainable helpful information upon the subject. Whenever the establishment of any form of vocational instruction is contemplated in any locality in this State, application for preliminary advice and guidance should be freely made to this Division. Principles and Control of State Aid State aid for evening vocational schools is made available, and the work of establishing such schools is thereby encouraged and stimulated, because of the obvious responsibility which rests upon the State, particularly at this time, of assisting in every way in the training and betterment of persons engaged in useful and profitable employment in the industries, in agriculture and in the house |
