INDUSTRIAL ARTS If a man works to learn all he can With both hands and head, he’s twice the man. For the vocationally minded stu- dent, the facilities of our own “shops” are available. Here the student learns to apply the aca- demic skills of thought and de- duction to the industrial skills of mechanics and construction. From our fine teachers’ instruction, he can go on to a vocational-technical school or into the business world with a greater confidence because of his experience.
