plane, solid and analytic geometry, trigonometry, physiology, freehand drawing, botany, zoology, geology, physics, chemistry and vocal music. The Music Course includes the pianoforte, band and stringed instruments, and voice. Also, all of the complete courses in the academic subjects required in the Industrial Art Course, with courses in theory, harmony, and musical history. Special (elective) Teaching Courses are offered during the Senior Year (in the different courses) to those wishing to teach the industrials, etc. Other practical courses (industrial and academic) will be added as are found necessary to meet the demands of an up-to-date industrial school. The faculty consists of twenty-eight men and women of mature scholarship, experience and teaching ability. Outside of the class room they are persons fitted to be the natural leaders of students in all the normal activities of young life. Graduates of our best colleges, universities and industrial schools unite to form the present efficient faculty of L. I. I. (See pages 14 and 15.) The best test of the worth of any school is the character of its alumni. L. I. I. points with pride to the 216 young men and women who have graduated. The graduates are not merely financially successful, but are leading lives of help¬ fulness and service in private and public positions, in educational circles, in the church, and in the business world, affording substantial proof that our aim “to make the thinker a worker and the worker a thinker” is being realized. The good work of the school is attested by the constantly increasing demand for its graduates from the industrial and commercial interests of the state. Twelve years of the history of the school have demonstrated its usefulness as a positive factor for good in the lives of over four thousand young men and young women. The school is the oldest and most completely equipped of the state’s industrial schools, democratic and tolerant in spirit—worth counts for more than wealth—and its doors a re open to worthy young men and women from every part of the state. Since industrial training is not a feature in our public schools, the Louisiana Industrial Institute offers special advantages to those young people of the state who wish to continue their education beyond what is offered in the public schools in their community. 10
