Skill Was Gained by Forests have been leveled and animals have been overcome with implements that are products of man ' s thought, but constructive thought is a by-product of knowledge. Knowledge is the beginning and end of all progress, for every worthwhile advance is begun by the col- lection of known information, continued by the application of this information, and completed with the acquisition of a new understanding, an understanding that will, eventually, become accepted as knowledge. If man is to continue to pro- gress he must temper his one unique weapon— his mind— with knowledge. Through the guidance of Mr. S. B. Mc- Ghee and Mr. Price, the vocational stu- dents gain practical skills and knowledge that will be useful in the coming years. Mr. S. B. McGhee, Vocational Agriculture Instructor Industrial Arts, taught by Mr. Price, is one of the many facets of the vocational program at James River.
