Turn off those ma- chines, cry students who occupy neighboring class rooms to the workshop. Sympathy is with you but if you only knew the fabulous things those boys build: water skis, book shelves, beautiful bowls, and all sorts of pretty and useful objects. The boys in mechanical drawing plan houses while home economics students learn about color and design to decorate them. Pupils of effective living learn about household management and D.C.T. students prepare themselves for their fu- ture occupations. The landscaping department plants shrubbery on the school grounds and at the same time learn what makes them tick. Drivers education students scoot around town in their Merry Oldsmobile getting ready to pass their driving test. The subjects above may be varied and perhaps you find it hard to see a relationship between them. They are alike because of the do-it-yourself method in which they are taught. By actually cre- ating yourself, the product about which you are studying, you learn its true value. The experience of learning by doing is one that will never be forgotten.
