Youth and adults [Continued from page 153] Notable among the trends in vocational education during the year was the shift in enrollment from one type of vocational class to another. Workers who have felt the need for additional training and skill have turned in large numbers to evening classes. Enrollments in all-day trade-preparatory classes have jumped also as young men and women in the lower age ranges-unable to find employment-have remained in school for definite occupational training. Higher beginning employment age limits, also, have pressed into trade courses large numbers of high-school seniors, high-school graduates, and those who have had some college training. Vocational rehabilitation The record in the field of vocational rehabilitation during the year has been outstanding. The number of disabled persons actually rehabilitated, as well as the number of persons in process of rehabilitation, exceeds that of any year since the establishment of the program in 1920. These increases were made possible through the allotment of relief funds for rehabilitation purposes. The number of persons rehabilitated during the year was 9,422, while the number in process of rehabilitation at the close of the year was 40,941. These figures are the more impressive when it is understood that rehabilitation cannot be done on a mass basis, but must be carried out on an individual or case basis.
