Broadly, it follows the lines of
the exisiting vocational agricul-
ture and home economics pro-
grams, in which state and local
governments share in the cost.
For the fiscal year ended. June
30, ISM, Wright said 10,118
school* were in the vocational
agriculture program and 11,819
"in the home economics program
Local participation, was, respec-
tively, 77 6 per cent and 84.3
per cent of the cost.
The Wright plan would avail
the nation of the scientific in-
terests of American youth by
encouraging local clubs of Future
Scientists of America (F-S.A.)
along the general pattern the
Future Farmers of America
(FF.A.) have developed. —
Wright says that if inter-
scholastic competitions should
result at science fairs throughout
the nation, then studious young-
sters might begin to know the
"thrill and incentive which today
impel most American boys to
want to develop skill and mastery
in such sports as football; basket-
ball, etc."
