Using Hands And Minds The Industrial Arts program offered many students at Benton a kind of learning challenge that they couldn't find in most of the other classes. The Industrial Arts pro- gram required that the students learn to use their hands as well as their minds. This handsome method of learn- ing helped to break up the monotony of the many hours of bookwork the students must do in their other classes. The Industrial Arts program offered classes ranging from Drafting to Shop classes. In these classes the students could learn every thing from how to draw up the plans for a cabinet to how to build it. The ex- perience the students receive in Industrial Arts could be put to use in getting a job or by just learning a lifetime hobby.
