The department has five important functions: The training of supervisors of fine arts, training of teachers of ine arts: supplying ten hours of art for those who are taking out a Smith-Hughes in Home Economics: preparatory courses for those who will go to commercial and fine art school: and training for grade teachers who need art as a requirement for the elementary certificate. The Industrial Arts, under the direction of Miss Deluce, Mr. Whiffen and Miss Fisher, aim to create a desire, and to develop the requisite skill, to change the natural materials as they come to us, into forms which shall be both pleas-- ing and useful. The logical outcome of such courses of study should be the ability to select vocations intelligently, to appreciate the best products of the industries, and in general to furnish elements of knowledge which might be of usc in interpreting the complex conditions of modern times. The college is very proud of having acquired a new, separate building for the Industrial Arts Department during the last year. T231
