L. Williams said to day. The programs include classes for employed adults, vocational indus trial teacher education and pro duction and distribution of instruc tional material. Classes were con ducted in 222 towns. More than a thousand towns were represented in the classes. Classfes for employed adults were held in local communities, area or district central locations and on the A&M campus. Classes were conducted in firemen train ing, police training, rural electric employe training, supervisor train ing, water plant and sewage dis posal plant operation and mainten ance training. Many Classes Throughout State One hundred and sixty-two classes in local communities, and 139 towns were represented with an enrollment of 2,603, were held on fire prevention, instimctor training, local hazards, officer conferences and operational train ing. “For the first time in Texas there was organized and taught on the A&M campus schools of one month in length and strictly for municipal police officers,” Wil liams says. “An advisory commit tee composed of three city man agers and three chiefs of police, guided the policies of the school. Some 20 law enforcement officials from national, state and local po licing agencies made up the fac ulty.” Fourteen local classes were held in seven towns with an en rollment of 148, while three classes were conducted on the campus with 41 towns represented. The enroll ment was 60. Six full-time men conducted training programs for employes of Texas rural electric cooperatives, including the following services: Job training and safety, “hot stick” training, principles of elec tricity, supervisor training. Con ferences were conducted by the chief instructor for special groups, as managers, office managers and cashiers. A total of 106 classes with an enrollment of 1,878, were conducted. Seventy-eight towns were repiesented. Smaller Industries Emphasized In the supervisor training pro gram emphasis was placed on serv ice to the smaller industries, Wil liams said. “This effort resulted in an increase of 52 per cent in the number of companies seiwed and 100 per cent increase in the number of towns represented in classes as compared with 1951-52. A total of 165 classes were held with 244 towns represented and an enrollment of 2,540. Seventy-one classes in water plant operation and maintenance, sewage plant operation and main tenance, water meter repair and maintenance (annual schools) were held. Six hundred thirty towns were represented with an enroll ment of 2,107. In the automobile and repair department of the production and distribution of instructional ma terial, a study guide was developed for part-time vocational students. There were 30 assignments com plete with answers. This is the first unit of a series of several groups of assignments in this field, Williams says. “These were pro duced by one of the men in the vocational industrial teacher train ing service.” In the electrical industry there are 723 apprentices in Texas using manuals prepared by this service, 43 classes were operated with 21 towns represented. Nine states are using the instructional mate rial,, with 14 towns outside of Tex as using the material, 22 out-of- state classes and 400 out-of-state apprentices using the material.
