Urpartumtt nf JnbuHtrial iBuUhitm (Bmtatrnrttmu It is being demanded more and more by our citizenship that every indi- vidual shall know some useful vocation and be able to apply it; consequently industrial training should become a large part of every school curriculum. The ideal teacher in this field of work is one who has had sound academic and professional training; one who has teaching power and disciplinary ability; a pleasing personality, adaptability, co-operative spirit and good judgment. He must not only be a master of the fundamental principles of the trade invol- ved, but he must be a skilled workman. He must understand the industrial conditions of the community in which he works so that the work can be adaot- ed to its needs. This department thoroughly trains teachers and supervisors in conformity with these ideals.

J oiiz: i Irpartnumt of 3run and Believing that the functions of this state school and especially its depart- ment of Machine Construction, is the promotion of industrial education in Kansas, and because our graduates will have to deal largely with the boys who will want to work for a living as soon as they leave school, it is our slogan to save one year or more of apprenticeship. Kansas needs more industries and more industrial workers, and we ought to so prepare these teachers that they can instruct others well enough to de- velop the talent and genius within our borders. Our teachers wi'l be so trained in industrial methods, that they will have the respect and endorsement of the industrial workers in any community. Wm. Taeko Klzinga High School and Night School.
