INDUS TRIAL AR TS The lndustrial Arts Department of the John Bartram High School should really be called the Industrial Education Depart- ment, since the largest part of the program now deals with trade- preparatory education. The two programs are quite different in many respects. Their organization and administration function separately on the local, state, and federal levels. Industrial arts education has as its main purpose the goal of developing the talents of each student through experimentation and research. lt deals with industry, its processes, and products, its tools and equipment, its organization and occupations, and its problems. On the other hands, trade-preparatory education aims to pre- pare individuals for entrance into gainful employment in a trade or affiliated field and pro vides opportunities to continue in gener- al education. lt is a type of vocational education designed to develop skills, abilities, understandings, attitudes, work habits, and appreciation necessary to enter and progress in a chosen field. lt is designed not only to produce a competent worker, but to mold a socially, economically, emotionally, and physically ad- justed c1'tizen.

The foreign language program at John Bartram High School includes courses in both modern and classical languages. Students at the Freshman Center and the Main Building may take language courses in French, Italian, Spanish, and Latin, Course offerings at the School for Human Services and the Motivation School are limited to Spanish and French. Many students begin their study of a foreign language at Bartramg several continue with the language they started in the seventh grade. The latter students have the opportunity to complete Eve years of foreign language study by the time they graduate from Bartram. The study of foreign languages and cultures enables students to attain a greater appreciation and comprehension of the changes taking place in the world today. We live in a world that is ever shrinking because of the rapid development of international busi- ness, the progress of the jet age, and increased telecommunica- tions via satellites. Nations which were formerly content to accept English as the language of commerce, diplomacy, and all other Communication ha ve experienced a resurgence of national, cultur- aL and linguistic pride. The contemporary world needs citizens competent in languages and able to communicate with one anoth- er. At Bartram High School we strive to offer a program in foreign language that promotes conversational, cultural, literary, person- al, and vocational interests while it also fosters international understanding.
