Programs for the promotion of citizenship education constitute the basis for expenditure of funds by the Department of Justice. These are conducted by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Funds are used largely to employ personnel for the operation of the service and to prepare citizenship education materials for use by citizenship classes arranged in the various cities. In addition, the Immigration and Naturalization Service expends small amounts for the training of border patrol and special agents.

The Department of Justice, through the Bureau of Prisons, operates an extensive educational and vocational training program in its 25 penal and correctional institutions. Classes range from instruction for the adult illiterate to college level and from organized occupational and industrial training to full-time vocational training in a variety of trades. The Federal Prison Industries, Inc., a gov

ernment corporation established to administer all industrial operations in the Federal prison system, finances completely the vocational and industrial training program.

Extensive educational programs offering the in-service type of instruction are provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Courses of instruction are planned primarily for employees of the Bureau, but at certain times police officials from States and from cities are invited to participate. This service to officials of the States and subdivisions has been operating as the National Police Academy.

The National Training School for Boys, located in the District of Columbia, is a correctional institution operated by the Department of Justice. Expenditures for this school would include amounts for maintenance and subsistence as well as instruction.

Figures for these educational programs in the Department of Justice are somewhat difficult to separate from the normal operating budgets and consequently are not presented here in detail.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

The purpose of the international educational exchange program for which funds are expended by the Department of State in the words of the authorizing congressional legislation is "to promote a better understanding of the United States in other countries, and to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people other countries." A part of this program provides opportunities for Americans to pursue educational activities abroad and for foreign nationals to undertake similar projects in the United States.

The department's activities in the field of exchange of persons are of two general types: the administration or supervision of programs providing financial grants-in-aid for exchanges, and non-financial services designed to foster desirable exchanges sponsored by American and foreign organizations and institutions, international agencies, and foreign governments. The principal programs under which financial grants-in-aid are awarded to students, teachers, lecturers, research scholars, leaders, and specialists are carried out under authority of the Fulbright Act (Public Law 584-79th Cong.) and the SmithMundt Act (Public Law 402-80th Cong.). Many of the grants under these two programs are made in combination with those obtained from other sources. Other grants are provided under the Convention for the Promotion of Inter-American Cultural Relations, the German and Austrian reorientation programs, the Chinese Emergency Aid Program, and a special program for educational exchange with Finland. The department is also responsible for the training of foreign nationals in the United States and the sending of American

specialists abroad under the President's Point IV Program for underdeveloped countries.

In addition to interchanges financed by the United States Government, the department also renders various non-financial services to individuals, voluntary organizations, international agencies, and foreign governments interested in the exchange of persons. Such services include advice and counsel in planning programs, assistance in connection with problems concerned with visas, passports, travel restrictions, contract labor and income tax regulations, the development of professional contacts and aid to organizations in establishing relations with counterpart organizations overseas. A further non-financial service is that of rendering assistance to the United Nations in connection with its fellowship and scholarship programs in certain fields of specialization.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Education of Coast Guard personnel is an important educational program conducted by the Treasury Department. This is provided through the operation of Coast Guard Academies and through the payment of tuition for individuals who are assigned to take academic training at specific institutions of higher education. Amounts expended for these educational services in recent years are presented in table 40.

The Department of the Treasury also administers, in connection with regular operating programs, certain educational features related to savings bonds, the recognition of counterfeit money, and in-service training of customs inspectors and law-enforcement officers. These features are a part of each specific operating program and expenditures for such purposes are not reported as educational.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

A large city system of public education is operated in the District of Columbia. This should be regarded as essentially a local program of education rather than a Federal program but the Government does provide some funds for its support. The Federal contribution is made to the Government of the District of Columbia, and it applies to the total District budget rather than to any itemized purpose such as education. In total, the Federal contributions have averaged approximately 9 percent of the total expenditures for local government. For the past 3 years the Federal appropriation has been $12,000,000 annually but for the 1950-51 school year it is $10,800,000.

The public-school system of the District of Columbia includes elementary, junior high, senior high, and vocational high schools operating on a segregated basis for white and Negro children. In addition, two institutions for higher education are provided. Wilson's Teachers College is for white students who are preparing to teach in the public schools and Miner Teachers College is for the preparation of Negro teachers. Figures are not reported separately for these institutions since they are operated as integral parts of the city system of public schools under the direct control of the board of education and expenditures reported for the Public Schools in the District of Columbia also include expenditures for these two colleges.

Annual expenditures for public education provided by the Public Board of Education in the District of Columbia are presented in table 41. It may be assumed that approximately 9 percent of these funds are derived from the Federal treasury and that 91 percent come from local tax revenues in the District of Columbia.

The District of Columbia also operates the National Training School for Girls, which offers a controlled environment for the custody and care of delinquent girls generally between the ages of 14 and 18 years. Data relating to operating expenses of the school for girls in recent years are presented in table 42.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

The National Security Act of 1947 established the National Security Resources Board under the Executives Office of the President. It is charged with over-all responsibility for advising the President concerning the mobilization of America's resources in the event of war, and is a staff rather than an operating agency. In accordance with the act, it utilizes the facilities of other agencies of Government to the fullest practicable extent in developing its mobilization planning program. Under this authority, the Office of Education has been temporarily assigned a significant project in connection with the creation of a national scientific register.

NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC REGISTER

area.

The wartime utilization of America's highly trained scientists and technologists represents a particularly critical mobilization planning Unlike other segments of manpower plans concerning the wartime use of personnel, it must deal with individuals and proceed on a qualitative, rather than a quantitative basis.

According to the terms of a recent agreement, the Office of Education has undertaken the following activities:

(1) The development, at a central point in Government, of a selective, analytical inventory of the Nation's specially trained and highly skilled personnel in important scientific fields, including the recording and evaluation of special scientific competencies.

(2) The consolidation and centralization in one place of various scientific personnel registration activities now being independently carried on, to the end that there can be one focal point in Government to which the
