Abstract
A BULLETIN by K. B. Haas (Vocational Division Bulletin No. 205, Business Education Series No. 12) which has been issued by the Office of Education, United States Department of the Interior, under the title “Co-operative Part-Time Retail Training Programmes”, reviews the history and progress of retail-store training programmes. It discusses the need for training programmes in secondary schools and extension classes and describes the kinds of training programmes which have prospects of success. Proved methods for promoting, initiating, co-ordinating, supervising and teaching the various types of retail-training courses in different communities are indicated as well as both the factors contributing to the success of such programmes and mistakes which have been made. The qualifications necessary for teachers of such subjects are discussed, and emphasis is placed on the co-operative part-time type of instruction on the secondary level.
