We wanl more Practical Arts The Practical Art Department this year consisted of classes in mechanical drawing, metals, woodworking, craft, and home eco- nomics. These classes were designed to show CLOTHING pupils the correct methods concerning the use and care of modern machines. The pupils were taught how to work with one another and to coordinate their hands and mind in solving problems confronting them in every- day life. Students enrolled in the home economics classes were taught intelligent buying, good family relations, and kitchen practices. M ETA LS SHOP Science This year in our Science Department, survey tests were given to ninth grade students to discover achievement in the biological and earth sciences, as well as to discover special observations and reasoning skills. A new course, Life Science, was introduced into the curriculum and a special attempt was made to interest pupils in entering a career in science or engineering, in order to relieve the crit- ical shortage in these fields. Inspection trips were made by interested students to three industries near our school to see the scientist at work on his home ground. 18
