Industrial vocational education is for interested students with mechanical aptitude who are physically able and mentally com- petent to profit from three hours of shop instruction every day. As the basic idea of vocational education is to prepare students for useful and productive employment, the practical training in the shops is planned to develop a high degree of skill and craftsmanship. This intensive shop instruction along with the necessary related subiects required for a high school diploma contributes toward the development of good citizens by devel- oping their physical, social, civic, cultural, and economic com- petencies. LESTER F. KRONE Head of Vocational Division Industrial arts, formerly called manual training, is a part of general education. On a limited basis of one period a day it affords the students exploratory opportunities and apprecia- tion of materials and tools. In an industrial arts class the students are able to appraise their mechanical aptitudes and interests, which is an important help to a sound vocational guidance pro- cedure. Therefore, industrial vocational education is most effec- tive when preceded by a strong industrial arts program. I I 28 NELLIE J. JILLSON Dressmaking
