and 305 by all-day home economics; and 229 by part-time schools, of which 85 were trade or industrial, 27 home economics, and 117 general continuation. Of these schools, 1,789 were approved for Federal reimbursement and 142 were not approved. Of schools applying to State boards a somewhat larger proportion (1,789 out of 1,931) were approved in the year ended June 30, 1919, than were approved in the year preceding (1,415 out of 1,810), which would seem to indicate improvement in the character of schools applying for Federal reimbursement. The number of schools approved for Federal reimbursement is given by States in Table 20.

In 1919 State boards reported 126 teacher-training institutions applying for Federal reimbursement, as compared with 88 in 1918, the number approved being 123 and 83 in the two years respectively.

STATE DIRECTORS AND SUPERVISORS.

The number of State directors and supervisors giving full time and part time to supervisory work is given in Table 8, together with the number whose salary was reimbursed in part out of Federal funds, the amount of Federal reimbursement on account of supervisory work, and the corresponding amount paid out of State funds. For States corresponding data are given in Tables 25 and 26.

AMOUNT OF FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT.

The amount of Federal money expended by the States in the year ended June 30, 1919, for reimbursement of vocational schools and for maintenance of teacher training amounted in the aggregate to $1,561,414.66. As compared with the amount similarly expended and reimbursed in the preceding year, this is an increase of $731,287.70. For agricultural schools the amount of reimbursement increased in round numbers from $273,000 to $526,000, an increase of $253,000. For trade or industrial and home economics schools the increase was from $365,000 to $609,000, or $243,000; and for teacher training from $196,000 to $435,000, the increase being $229,000. As shown in Table 9 the increased use of Federal funds in the States is fairly well distributed through the several geographical regions in which the States are grouped for administrative purposes.

Amounts expended by the States during the year ended June 30, 1919, are shown by States, for agriculture in Table 33; for trade, industry, and home economics in Table 34; and for teacher training in Table 35. Comparative figures for the two years by States are given in Table 27. With the exception of North Dakota, every State received a larger amount of Federal money for reimbursement of schools in 1919 than it received in the preceding year. With few exceptions, it is true also that the States increased their utilization of each of the several Federal funds available, for vocational schools of different types and for teacher training.

TABLE 9.—Amount of Federal money expended by the States for reimbursement, by regions, for fiscal years ended June 30, 1919 and 1918.

For the year ended June 30, 1919, reimbursement of trade or industrial and of home economics schools has been reported separately for each type of school-evening, part-time, and all-day-defined on the 1919 State schedule. For the preceding year, however, comparative figures are available only for trade or industrial schools as a group and for home economics schools as a group. In Table 10 the reimbursements of these several types of schools are shown for 1919 in detail, and for 1918 in so far as data are available.

As reported in 1919, State expenditures for salaries of teachers in trade or industrial schools were reimbursed to the amount of $426,955.87, the amount of the reimbursements for such schools in the preceding year being $305,352, an increase for the year of $121,603.87. For home economics schools reimbursements reported in 1919 amounted to $118,496.29, as compared with $60,460.46 in the preceding year, the increase for these schools amounting to $58,035.83.

The amount of reimbursements reported in 1919 for evening trade or industrial schools and for part-time trade or industrial schools was approximately the same in amount for each type of school, being $82,867.40 for the evening and $85,356.72 for the part-time schools. For all-day trade or industrial schools reimbursements out of Federal funds amounted in this year to $258,231.75. As regards home economics schools, also, it is true that a very large proportion of the total reimbursements-$86,635.77 out of $118,496.29-was for all-day

schools.

State tables Nos. 28 and 29 show for States figures corresponding to those given in Table 10 for regions. Among the States showing large increases in utilization of the Federal funds available for trade or industrial schools may be noted the following: Ohio, New York, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Illinois, Connecticut. Smaller increases are shown in the reimbursements of home economics schools by States because the total fund available for these schools is much smaller than the fund available for trade or industrial schools. Relatively, the increase in amount of reimbursements for home economics schools in the country as a whole has been much greater than for trade or industrial schools. Increased utilization of Federal money available for reimbursements of home economics schools characterizes the reports from a large majority of the States.

REIMBURSEMENTS OF PART-TIME SCHOOLS.

In Table 11 the amount of Federal reimbursements of part-time schools of all types is shown. Of the total amount of reimbursements of such schools in the year ended June 30, 1919, $85,856.72 was for trade or industrial part-time schools, $7,983.48 for home economics part-time schools, and $64,944.42 for general continuation part-time schools.

Approximately two-thirds of the reimbursements for general continuation schools was for schools located in the North Atlantic Region, including $27,690.49 for schools located in Pennsylvania, and $9,868.28 for schools located in New York (see Table 30), and more than one-fourth of these reimbursements was for schools located in the East Central Region, including $10,216.88 for schools in Illinois. Small reimbursements are shown for this type of schools in the Southern, West Central, and Pacific Regions.
