'k DEPARTMENT GF FINE AND INDUSTRIAL ARTS The Department of Fine and Industrial Arts works for the appreciation of its subjects, and training in both divisions for vocation and avocation. The Division of Fine Arts has five important functions: the training of grade teachers who need art as a requirement for elementary teaching, the training of supervisors of line arts, the training of teachers for grade and high schools, the offering of courses in fine arts necessary for those taking out majors in Home Economics, and the offering of preparatory courses for those who later intend to go to fine arts schools. The Industrial Art Division, under the direction of Mr. Valk and Miss Fisher, presents a comprehensive and diversified program of Industrial Arts activities. Besides the preparation of Industrial Arts teachers, courses are offered to meet the needs of those interested in taking engineering work. From such courses of study, the individual should be able to select vocations intelligently and possess a knowledge of the phenomenal development of modern industry and its constant change. OLIVE S.
