MR. H. A. COLLINS B. S. , Virginia State College Vocational Agriculture Publicity and Recreation Committee, Patrol Supervisor Four Years at Carver SOtSiH Below are eighth grade boys pursuing work in Vocational Agriculture for a period of eighteen weeks in order to acquaint them with the program which is geared to the unit plan: Crop Production, Farm Management, Farm Mechanics, Livestock Production, and Leadership Training. These students learn that all living individuals depend directly or indirectly on farming for survival and are employed because of the same. Vocational Agriculture not only trains boys to become more proficient in farming but to become better citizens in the communities, working with the churches, clubs and other community agencies. Mr. Collins is using flannel board with opaque materials in teaching a lesson on ants.

MISS MARY EVANS B. S. , Hampton Institute Virginia State College General Science Four Years at Carver There are three types of objectives that are appropriate in a General Science course. These are (1) the ones that are intended to increase knowledge; (2) those that give training in skill; (3) those that aid in developing scientific attitudes and appreciations of science. Within the past two years, with the help of laboratory equipment secured through Federal aid, the teachers at Carver stress laboratory work in Ninth Grade Science. This laboratory work, they hope, will accomplish the following things for the pupils: (1) the development of simple laboratory techniques; (2) a better understanding and interpre- tation of the principles of science; (3) training in the scientific method; (4) training in the experimental solution of the pupils ' own problems; and (5) the use of the laboratory as a workshop for the study of science problems which arise in the science class or in the life of the pupil. Here are ninth grade stu- dents preparing oxygen.

S. , A T College Industrial Arts Patrol Supervisor One Year at Carver The Industrial Arts Department at Carver is that part of general education that develops the student ' s skill to work his hands along with his mind. It gives students insight into industries and how the various things are made. Most of all, the student has the opportunity to make some of the objects that he sees everyday, articles which were made by industry. This is a first year General Metals class. The program of study in Industrial Arts at Carver has four areas of study: electricity, mechanical drawing, woodwork and general metals.
