I r-'d Is i IB I PUT YOUH MONEY IN The Greenfield Banking Co. l.roollIlOHl, MHIIUIKI XeMr: Thirty-one Hancock county pupils were assisted In attending school by the National Youth Administration during the school year just closed, according to Edward E. Edwards, state NYA director. Seventeen boys and 11 girls earned sums ranging from $3 to $48 while the average earnings per pupil for tho year were $31.

TEACHERS It was learned at the recent conference of teachers of vocational agriculture that there is a large demand for new vocational agriculture departments in the state this year.

At present there are 203 departments, with an enrollment of about 6,000 boys. The demand fo rteachers has been so great in Indiana that it is necessary to go outside of the state to secure them. This Increase is probably clue to better fanning conditions ami a more usable form of work being taught in these departments.

A letter written by Carl Nic holson concerning hsl trip to Kansas City as a Future Farmer delegate from Indiana was presented to the conference by Keith Elsbury.
