A manual training course in woodworking was perhaps the fore-runner of the whole vocational system of our school. Such a course was introduced in 1910 and met with instant a pproval of the students. It grew rapidly from a very few to alinost four hun- dred students and so far exceeded the capa- city of the equipment that it w-as necessary to incorporate it ,in the new woodworking de- partment of the vocational school, and it has come to include courses in patternmaking, cabinetmaking and carpentry. The plumbing and electrical departments are cooperating with this department in the most practical kind of work possible — the ac- tual erection of a modern home, the installa- tion of its complete plumbing system and finally the electrical wiring from service to fixtures. The mechanical drawing depart- ment, installed in large, well lighted rooms, is also supplied with the practical designing of various kinds of equipment used about the school and in the work of the shops. The machine shops and the automobile de- partment are building the best of foundations for the work of their students by presenting actual problems, which they may later meet, for class solution. The printing department, containing that is said to be the most complete, up-to-date equipment of any public school in this coun- try , has already exhibited its value and abil- ity in the production of our school magazines and in continuing w-ill afford the finest prac- tice to its fortunate students. Thus, from an obscure existence, scarcely fifty years ago, has Joliet Township High School risen to a position among the foremost educational institutions in the courty. From an existence as of a minute speck of propo- plasm it has developed into a complex struc- ture of many organs and many cells and whether the cells be 315 or 301, you might be compared to an insignificant, yet quite neces- sary little speck of protoplasm within its cell world. Now then, aren ' t you proud? Albert C. Hagmayer.

At present three buildings near the High School, the May Apartments for commercial and academic work, the Elwood house for economics, and the Hacker building for the shop work have been utilized pending the erection of further additions to the main building either eveninir classes -.imihir in jiurposc to those of the day continuation school, yet broader in practice, are those conducted in the Americanization school, maintained by Education. Giving to those 11 was unfortunately neglected life and ti our foreign born ,ide range of courses including instruction not only in the elementary read- also in the fundamentals of local, state and national government, it has becoine an impor- tant factor in the educational system of the city. Owing to the wide range in the mental development, the previous education and the varying ages of the pupils, i t has been neces- sarj ' to divide them into groups beginning with the primary studies and ranging upward to liistory, geography and government. This, however, does not entirely solve the problem for the teacher, who must deal with scores of distinct personalities from perhaps five or six different countries. The greatest task is to offer besides an understanding of our lang- uage and customs, a welcome to their adopted land, America, and to stress the need of a proper respect due to that country from them. Attendance at this school and diligent ap- plication to the work brings the students a chance more quickly and easily to become real American citizens. Diplomas, issued to those who pass a satisfactory test in civics and English after their second papers have been applied for, will make it unnecessary to take an examination in Civics and E ' nglish in the Court House when the final papers are obtained. Through the first term of this school, the enrollment was increased from 170 to 325 and the attendance throughout was most excellent, considering that many of the men worked ni.ghts on alternate weeks and hence were ing and writing of the English language, but absent almost fifty per cent of the tiine. At the completion of the first year ' s work, nine- teen men were presented with Diplomas , while thirty-nine received Certificates of Ef- ficiency which may be applied in the same manner as Diplomas in securing naturali- zation papers, with the exception that they may be applied only in securing the second papers. For almosl fifl years, the jiublic schools in nearly all of the larger cities of the country have maintained regularly organized voca- tional training courses in connection with their ordinary academic courses, but although this has been found to provide very valuable and practical training in the manual or domes- tic arts, it has not been sufficient or extensive enough to allow any student following such a course to enter into any particular trade im- mediately upon graduation. It was felt that there was a greater need for a school offering purely vocational courses and afifording the student a practical prepar- ation in his chosen vocation. As a result such a school was established within our own great institution. Its students are as much a part of the high school as tliose taking the regular academic subjects with the exception that they are specializing in a certain chosen vocation and will spend an avera.ge of three hours a day upon it. Practically all of the following types of shop work are now oflfered: Machine shop, elec- trical shop, atito mechanics, pattern-making, cabinet making, house carpentry, plumbing, sheet metal work, printi ng, and mechanical and architectural drafting; and it is planned with tuture additio.ns to the present extensive Continued on Page 13
