X 45 gp 06021101261 c 00 By LaVan Shoptaw THE ideals of John Brown College since the day of its inception have 'Q if included a three fold type of education consisting of the training E ,535 of the head, the heart and the hand. The school is organized ona eq 3 basis of three distinct divisfons calculated to train boys and girls in Q K5 the three forms of development. As such, it has been found necess- Q2 gf ary to employ three distinct faculties, namely an ,academic faculty, a K? Bible faculty and I3 vocational faculty. While the work conducted by the first two mentioned faculties is more or less self-explained by Z? the respective titles, that carried on by the vocational staff is not so clearly understood and lends its contribution to the general P n . n M impression that the John Brown College is a unique school. Ei The work of the vocational school of John Brown College is gg divided roughly into five major divisions, namely, agricultural, home 3 economics, trades and industries, commerce and printing and journal- Qr ism. Each of these major divisions is in charge of one or more depart- Q35' ment heads according to the number of departments in the division, ig ranging from two to five. A ge The work of the vocational school is especially designed for a 'G C-gp certain type of students. Of course the work is open to all students S who may be admited to the college but the courses are outlined to ,Q accommodate especially those students who realize that they can never 'xi 6,33 attend school after leaving John Brown College. Because of this type ,Q gp of student the courses are intended to furnish fairly complete training Q3 Q' and to roduce trained workmen in the various lines of work ursued .Q P ga- here p .G Q ' .gg When, generally speaking, the head is trained in the academic Q school and the hieart is trained in the Bible school then it may be 5? left to the vocational school to give those manipulative skills upon Q which we must depend if we are to be workmen who needeth not to be ashamed.

Q44 3 OHN Brown Schools are endeavoring to meet a three fold need of 'Q ? man-to train the brain and the hand to respond to the highest and 4 -f 'E' the best emotions. More nearly than any other group. I know of are 5. we endeavoring to carry out the notions of the Committee of the Na- 2 tional Education Association when they defined the purpose of our pub- 3 licschools in the part as training for, Worthy home membership, a Ei? vocation, good citizenship, worthy use of leisure time and ethical 8' c1haracter. To have the highest ethical character one must have a 19 cultivated spiritual character built upon sounfd Biblle teachings. Q3 No longer is our problem one of hunting students but of select- ' as ing from the multitude asking admission, those for whom We can do most and who in turn are most likely to pass the benefit on to others. 33:2 Those who come to us with definite ideas of what they Want to do We at have the pleasant task of guiding them into laying a surer, better forndation for their life's work, aiding them in adjusting themselves :S socially and spiritually, and training them in the specific skills re- is QB required. For those who are not so definite in recognizing their needs '19 we have an opportunity for sampling several occupations and lines ,Q ,gg of academic work in order that they may perchance, discover their y 'Q gr needs and capacities. This World socially, industrially, and spiritually, Q Q is a big world with millions of choices for good or b-ad. Each must 3, take his own choice at the beginning and in part, each day of his life. ig gf? VVe are never through choosing the details of life until life Us 52? ends. But it is fortunate if our big choices in the beginning of life 'fi eil are right, and in line with our largest ca acities. Most of our little ue . . P gg, choices are determined by the principles of our larger choices. Our YE 3 school is seriously trying to aid those who have their big choices and Q if those who must make them yet. it 'G + 'ii EV E 'ii 3 9- - Ei' ' C5215 pq- :pq . er
