Effectiveness of
Vocational Educa-
tion in Agriculture
Sixty-eight per cent of the
vocational agricuiture students
in the United States, who left
schoot in 1931, were farming in
1932, according to a report re-
ceived by tocat school author-
ities from the Federat Board
i or vocationai education cover-
ing an occupationat study of
Vocationai Agricuiture stu-
dents tcaving schooi since the
beginning of Vocationai Ag-
ricuiture in 1917 through the
fifteen year period ending in
1932. The report atso showed
the percentage of vocationat
agricuiture students going into
farming to be increasing from
year to year.
Those engaged in farming
were classified into five groups,
according to their tenure as
farm owners, farm managers,
farm renters, farm partners,
and farm iaborers. Less than
one-tenth of the newiy trained
farmers were abie to start as
farm owners, and stightty tess
than one-fourth were found in
the combined totats of farm
owners, farm managers, and
farm renters. Ait others began
as farm partners or farm
laborers.
Atthough the percentage
starting as farm owners was
tow, there was found to be a
generat movement up the scale
into ownership for those who
remained in farming. By 1932
the percentage of farm owners
among those students who
started farming between 1917
and 1922 had increased to 44
peij dent, and the combined to-
tats for farm owners, farm
managers, and renters for this ,
than 67 per Icent, leaving tess^
than one-third continuing as
farm partners and farm iabor-
ers.
