Home Economics Each girl at Flora looks rather dimly into the indistinct future when she will run her own household. Home Economics attempts to make this indistinct future more distinct by erasing some of the mysteries involved in managing a budget, and the many things which fit together to make a home that will function smooth ly. Art Art is a natural means of ex- pressing personal experiences. in- terests, and conflicts. Recognizing that art fulfills a basic human need, the Art Department encourages all students to enroll for one or more art courses. Industrial Arts The country in which we live is becoming increasingly industrialized. No longer may ang nation ignore the development of its in ustrial resources or the training of citizens in the understanding of materials, processes, and products of industry. Every citizen needs to understand and become familiar with some of the basic industrial skills, without regard to the way in which he expects to earn a living. The schools of Columbia have recognized the need for all students to have an oppor- tunity to study the materials, processes, and products of industry as organized in industrial arts courses and to acquire work habits and social attitudes that can be effectively de- veloped in these courses. Industrial arts education affords an opportunity to leam and better understand the industrial world in which students must live. Three distinct types of activities are included in the art curriculum: the activity of self expression, the activity of observation. and the activity of appreciation. All of these increase the ability of the individual to live more happily because of art.
