'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.

W 4 DEPARTMENT CDF l-ICDME ECCDNCDMICS The Department of Home Economics represents the oldest institution in the world, the home. Its courses present not only the practical side of house- hold arts, such as food, clothing, and household management, but also that which is far more important, the establishment of right attitudes and ideals for future living. Home Economics is an ever-broadening field, and its curriculum is con- stantly changing. From the early ideas that the field included only studies in food and clothing, there has evolved the modern conception in which the study of Home Economics is considered in its relationship in economics, sociology, physics, chemistry, biology, and art. Courses in Home Economics are elective, but it is believed by leaders in the field that courses in the science and art of home making will eventually be required of both men and women. The department offers both a major and minor in Home Economics as well as a major in Vocational Home Economics. A number of general courses are open to both men and women not majoring or minoring in the department. A i RUTH BLANSHAN HETT112 M. ANTHONY l23l ff A
