Youth Prepares For The Future The Practical Arts course consists of Home Eco- nomics, lndustrial Arts, and Agriculture. This is a practical and occupational education. lt enables stu- dents to make the transition from school to community life with ease. In Home Economics girls are taught the basic and practical methods of homemaking. The school experi- ence enables them to assume such responsibilities with greater ease and better results. Industrial Arts teaches boys the basic steps of various trades, the operation of tools, and the construction of essentials. This training enables them to better cope with the present and industrial world. Opportunities to learn modern methods of farming is the objective of the Agriculture course.
