BAINING in vocational subjects Was introduced into the curriculum of Indiana State Teachers College in 1905. Originally vocational training was offered in a room in the basement of the Training School: however, progress was very slow because of very limited equipment. Gradually the Whole basement was taken over, and in addition, part of the basement of the Main Building was used. ln 1911 the department became known as the Department of Manual Training and Domestic Science. Regular vocational instruction for Women began in 19115 but the separate Home Economics Department was not created until 1915 when ade- quate space Was made available by the completion of the Vocational Building. In 1915 the policy of training teachers under the Smith-Hughes Act was instituted. A practice house has been maintained since 1920 Where girls are taught the ideals and responsibility of a house and the true appreciation of home lite. The Vocational Building contains in addition to the Home Economics Department and the Industrial Arts Department, the Teachers College Press, a shop in which most of the printed material required by the college is produced. Printing is taught here to a large number of students. LINOTYPISTS AT WORK PRACTICE KITCHEN AT MEAL TIME MACHINE SHOP PRACTICE , .-4 V --.1 fr 1n v1
