VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE The Parker Vocational Agriculture Department is teaching thirty-three boys how to become thirty-three better farmers by following its motto Learning by Doing.n In this department the rural high school boy is offered countless ad- vantages and opportunities to help him make the most of his time and money. Field trips teach the boy to do the job as it should be done. The boys are able to select the best livestock through principles and points learned in judg- ing all types and kinds of livestock. In Farm Shop we find necessary and important training from the small job up to the more spectacular or farm size job. During the year four wagon boxes,two hay racks, three concrete soil packers, one complete tractor repair job, and one car overhauling job will have been completed. Each boy learns to do blacksmith work and is taught soldering by making numerous articles such as dust pans,cookie cut- ters,and sugar scoops.Among the many other small jobs in farm shop are harness re- pairing and oiling. ,..

INDUSTRIAL ARTS The Industrial Arts department, with an enrollment of sixty boys, is housed in a well-equipped shop. The objectives of the department are to train boys in the dignity of hand la- bor and acquaint them with the proper use of various bench tools. The boys learn the proper use and care of tools during the first semester. Then they use power machines under as nearly factory conditions as possible so they will appreciate the problem of the industrial field. Before beginning their projects the students are taught to make an analysis of the job. Investigation has proved that good illustrations are very effective in the learning process so Mechanical Drawing is stressed through the course. Industrial Arts was the first subject to relate its work with other subjects. Some of the viewpoints in Industrial Education have changed but the fundamentals have remained the same.
