ilu- . 1 Q W1 ,Q w if sr, if i ...tg s' . esp STATE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE, XVAHPETON ' The above picture represents the new Trades Building of the State School of Science, referred to by Dr. C. A. Prosser of Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis, as the firstl great step in the success of an idea which promises to be a model for all agricul- tura states. By the erection of this building which is entirely devoted to rooms, material, and equipment for training in industrial trades, North Dakota takes the lead among agricul- tural states in practical education designed to coordinate, manual, and mental skill for the better service of industry and agriculture. The dedication of a large building to this type of training represents the addition of a practical and necessary idea to the public educational system of the West. . The State School of Science has seven large buildings including gymnasium and dormitory. Its organization consists of a Junior College and Trade School, each func- tioning separately, but cooperating in such a way as to give opportunity to the high school graduate to learn a profit-bringing trade and at the same time acquire two years of college credit. Students desiring trade work alone are admitted without regard to educational requirements. 1928 B H S 1928 Thirteen
