Through the classroom study, we learn the proper names and functions of each part of the car and also the rules of safety. While out driving, we learn to handle a car in the safest and most courteous fashion.

The girls majoring in Home Economics become acquainted with the problems they will eventually en- counter as home-makers and with effective methods of meeting and solving those perennial problems. They learn to redecorate rooms, to can and freeze foods, to plan and prepare meals, to sew, and properly care for children. As a result of the extensive new facilities, home- making has become a valuable and meaningful course. The Industrial Arts course is designed to help students to learn to use machinery and materials ad- vantageously, Mechanical drawing is emphasized. Many boys have discovered that their manual skills can be used and improved through this vocational training. Our students of Agriculture spend time in the class room discussing different types of soil, the effectiveness of crop rotation, and the new mechanical aids. But their course becomes meaningful as a result of their varied projects which include raising of beef cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, and vegetable gardens. Ezra Taft Benson will not have to subsidize these individualists who are learning to make Nature provide the subsidies.
