Shops prove valuable experience for students Industrial arts is primarily de¬ signed to teach better understand¬ ing of industry. Courses are open to all students who wish to get in¬ volved in an industrial career. The areas offered include ceramics, drafting, electricity, graphic arts, power mechanics, metals, and woodworking. Drafting students learn how to draw and read blueprints and three dimensional figures. It enables the students to understand the mechan¬ ics of buildings; for instance, floor plans and layouts. In graphic arts, printing and photography are the main concerns. They learn how to offset and run the Gladiator press. The use of tools and blue prints are used in woodworking. This knowledge is put to use in the mak¬ ing of cabinets and other useful things. Power mechanics teaches the functions of electrical energy. In metals, students learn how to weld, run a drill press, lathe, shaper, and milling machine. They also learn the basic functions of measurement, safety, benchwork, welding, and foundry in the industrial setting. 1. Mr. Norman Banas, Purdue B.A., Indiana State M.A., Industrial arts. 2.
