Mr. FITZPATRICK. Yes.

Dr. STUDEBAKER. We have some tables showing what each State now receives under the Smith-Hughes Act, what they have been receiving under the George-Ellzey Act, and the additional amount each State would receive under the George-Deen Act.

Mr. FITZPATRICK. Just put it in the record.

Mr. RICH. Was there any other statement you wanted to make with reference to vocational education before the members of the committee ask questions?

Dr. STUDEBAKER. No; I think not.

Mr. RICH. If any members want to ask Mr. Studebaker any questions, do so at this time.

Mr. JOHNSON of Oklahoma. I was interested in the last statement you made with reference to the amount each State would receive under the George-Deen Act. Does that contemplate an appropriation of $14.483,000, the amount authorized, or $3,000,000?

Dr. STUDEBAKER. This table was drawn to show what each State would receive in addition to what it is now receiving if the full authorization were appropriated.

Mr. JOHNSON of Oklahoma. The appropriation of $14,483,000.?
Dr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.

ALLOCATION TO STATES AND TERRITORIES, UNDER GEORGE-DEEN ACT, BASED ON $3,000,000 APPROPRIATION

Mr. FITZPATRICK. I asked about the moneys that each State would receive. You must have a budget prepared yourself.

Dr. STUDEBAKER. New York last year received under the GeorgeEllzey Act $190,615.77. This was on the basis of $3,084,603, under the term of the George-Ellzey Act.

Mr. SCRUGHAM. Is that the George-Deen Act or the GeorgeEllzey Act?

Dr. STUDEBAKER. The George-Ellzey Act.

Mr. SCRUGHAM. You should have said the George-Ellzey Act.

Dr. STUDEBAKER. Yes. The George-Deen Act is the present legislation.

Mr. FITZPATRICK. Yes.

Dr. STUDEBAKER. Now, Congressman Firzpatrick, I am a little confused, frankly, to know how to answer your question as to what New York would receive if $3,084,603 were distributed under the George-Deen Act.

Mr. LEAVY. Cannot you tell?

Dr. STUDEBAKER. I do not know how to answer that question. Mr. LEAVY. Congress is going to have to meet that situation.

Dr. STUDEBAKER. That is why, Mr. Fitzpatrick, I traced this through rather cautiously, and stated the basis on which I was trying to think it out, but I am not satisfied that the conforms to the GeorgeDeen Act. I was making certain assumptions.

Mr. RICH. If after thinking this over you can comply with the request of Mr. Fitzpatrick and can put that in in writing or supplemert the record to that extent, we shall be glad to have you do it.

Dr. STUDEBAKER. I think what I have here will answer that question on the basis of the way I shall trace the problem through. We take $3,000,000 and distribute it on a population basis, and then we take 25 percent of the authorization for distributive cocupations, and 25 percent for teacher training, because $3,000,000 is 25 percent of the total authorization of $12,000,000 for the three major activities, and then add to these allotments the amounts necessary to meet the minimums. That makes a total of $5,305,000, but there are some difficulties in that that you might see as you examine this table, which I will be glad to put in the record.

Allocation of $3,000,000 to Slates and Territories on the basis of population and amounts required to guarantee minimums of $20,000 to each State and Territory

NOTE. Total amounts required to guarantee minimums of $10,000 to each State and Territory, $278,000 for distributive occupations, and $307,000 for teacher training.

ADMINISTRATION OF SMITH-HUGHES ACT

Mr. SCRUGHAM. Dr. Studebaker, is the administration of the Smith-Hughes Act in any way under the Department of Agriculture, or does it rest under your jurisdiction?

Dr. STUDEBAKER. It is under the Office of Education wholly. The Department of Agriculture has no control over it.

Mr. RICH. Are there any further questions?

Dr. STUDEBAKER. Perhaps some other questions will come up as the chiefs of the various services discuss trade and industrial education, distributive activities, and so forth.

Mr. RICH. I wanted the members of the committee to ask any questions they wished to on vocational education, and then we will go on to trade and industrial education.

TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

Dr. STUDEBAKER. All right, Mr. Cushman is Chief of Trade and Industrial Education of the Division of Vocational Education.

Mr. JOHNSON of Oklahoma. I am wondering if Dr. Wright would like to make a supplementary statement on vocational agriculture before we go on.

Dr. WRIGHT. It would probably be best to consider agriculture when we reach it according to the schedule.

Mr. RICH. It will come next on the list. I took the list here given to me by the chairman of the committee.

Dr. WRIGHT. I will be glad to go into that later.

Mr. CUSHMAN. This first chart [indicating), shows certain facts that were found from a survey of unemployed youth in a typical indus trial State the State of Connecticut. It covered approximately 43,000 unemployed youth. This sector [indicating] represents the fraction of the number of youth which was unemployed at the time. Of the 43,100 who were unemployed, it was found that 12,600 were untrained for any form of work.

It was also found that 18,760 of the number were untrained for anv form of skilled work, while 11,740 had some training for skilled work; the training was not sufficient to enable them to compete for stable or permanent employment under the conditions that prevailed at the time the survey was made.

While that condition prevailed, it was found that in the same year the State trade schools of Connecticut graduated 300 young men, al of whom secured good jobs in industry.

REMOVAL OF CAUSE OF UNEMPLOYMENT

The report of those in charge of unemployment research in that State contains a very strong recommendation that one way to remove one of the fundamental causes of unemployment among youth is to provide more vocational training of the kind that was enabling 300 a year to go out into industry and get good jobs

Mr. LEAVY Did that investigation disclose that there was, at that particular time, a shortage of skilled labor in that territory that would have absorbed any number of these boys?

Mr. CUSHMAN Yes, sir, to illustrate, there were 25 bvs w!» were graduated from the machinists' course of the Hartford Tra
