KANZA tJryartmrut of Jniutatrial Arts A. H. WHITESITT, B. S. Friends, students and alumni of K. S. T. C.. each and all will be glad to know that this has been our greatest year. The Industrial Arts Department has been crowded as never before. To meet the increased demands, new equipment has been installed, new courses introduced, and many of the existing courses have been modified by the introduction of much new content to better prepare Industrial Arts teachers for that newer and better service that is being demanded by our public schools. Not only does the enrollment increase, but each year there is a perceptible im- provement in the scholarship of those who choose the Industrial Arts field. This is explained by the improved teaching personnel that is projecting itself into the high schools of our commonwealth. We are never satisfied with well doing and promise you that our greatest con- cern shall be to render more efficient service than in the part. Page twenty-seven PPJi

We pur- pose always to give the student opportunity to accomplish the most possible in pursuing a college course. We arc always glad to advise with you and to give you every assistance at our command. Page twenty-six

The function of the Home Economics Department is to offer such courses as deal with the principles which underlie the proper management., equipment and furnishing- of a home; care of children, hygiene, and sanitary conduct of institutions, the social and economic phases of the family, the economic conditions affecting the work of women, as well as the preparation of teachers of Home Economics, and the training of those interested in demonstration and institutional management. The department faculty is composed of eight members, each one especially trained in one subject, but capable of sharing in the responsibility of teaching other than their major subject. In compliance with a ruling passed by the State Board of Eduction and in cooperation with the Federal Board under the Smith-I-Iughes bill, a four-year course is offered to equip teachers of home making in vocational schools or classes. While the course has been established but a short time, we have graduated several students from it with a degree of Bachelor of Science. Some of these graduates are teaching in vocational high schools of the state. Page twenty-eight
