In courses of this type, fifty per cent of the school time, which must be not less than three consecutive clock hours in one day, and not less than fifteen hours a week, is given to "practical work on a useful or productive basis," and from twenty- five to thirty-five per cent of the school time to related subjects. The balance is given to general subjects. The time used may exceed the standards which are stated. A total of thirty clock hours of instruction a week must be carried. The Type B Trade Course is one in which the related instruction is given' by the shop teacher incidental to the shop instruction with no separation of the total time into definite periods for the teaching of related subjects. In such courses, fifty per cent of the school time, which must not be less than fifteen hours a week, is given' to the combination of shop and technical instruction. The balance of the school day or thirty hours a week is devoted to general and related subjects. The time used may exceed the standards here stated. All students in the Day Trade Program must be registered for six clock hours a day or thirty clock hours a week in order to be classified as regular trade students and remain in the training programs. The Evening Courses are conducted at the College from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Individual programs of continued education are worked out for every student by the trade coordinators of the technical departments of the school in conjunction with a trade advisory committee.
