In order to determine the effectiveness of vocational agriculture in Virginia from 1918 to 1932, and to further assist the teachers in this follow-up work, this study was made with the following objectives in mind: 1. To determine the occupational status of former students of vocational agriculture in Virginia. 2. To determine trends in occupational selection and the relation of industrial and agricultural economic conditions to occupational selection. 3. To evaluate some of the influences on occupational selection, such as amount of vocational agriculture; type of agriculture of the community; efficiency of the Agriculture Department, and certain census data regarding counties. This study includes data from 148 white and 25 negro schools, and also includes follow-up records from 7,784 white and 1,583 negro ex-students of vocational agriculture in Virginia from 1918 to 1932.
