INDUSTRIAL ARTS The bench, printing, and auto mechanics shops of the industrial arts department are now adequately equipped to meet the needs of Proviso. Further growth in this department will be in the addition of other types of work rather than in the building up of the present shops. Electrical and metal-working shops are already being talked of. A blue-print machine obtained at the end of last year has been of great value to the school. Some of the drawing classes made maps of the shrubbery and landscaping of the grounds, and supplied blue- prints to the maintenance department. Blue-prints of the fieldhouse were prepared on the machine, and other work for the main office. To cut down automobile accidents and deaths due to them, the nation must increase the number of carefully trained drivers to take the place of drivers who learn by the trial-and-error method. Proviso offers a course in driver training, to develop good driving habits in the pupil. This course is carried on in a dual control car, with extra clutch and brake pedals located so that the instructor is always able to stop the car. After learning the general make-up of a car, the rules-of- road courtesy, and the proper signals, the class divides into groups of four for actual driving experi- ence. Twice a week each student drives for fifteen minutes and observes the other beginners for the remainder of an hour. At the end of the semester he has had eight hours of actual practice and twenty-four hours of observation, and is well on the way to becoming a good driver. lohn Compagno joined the faculty of Proviso this year to teach driver training.

Freshmen beginning the study of science with the course in general science, sophomores studying botany or Zoology, and juniors and seniors studying chemistry, physics, or geology, learn the use of these instruments and stress the practical side of the work as well as the formulas and laws of theory. The teachers must keep the PAGEANT moving ac- cording to schedule in this department by showing the would-be Newtons and Pasteurs how to look through a microscope without closing the other eye, by taking the students on field trips, and, in general, teaching them something of the world and the things in it. Field trips are conducted into the near-by forest preserves, through great industrial plants, and to .scientific exhibitions. Last summer C. W. Bills worked on mosquito abatement and was highly praised for his intensive research into the lives and habits of mosquitoes. Harvey F. Iohnson and O. A. Bolt made tours of the West, visiting many cities and national parks. H. P. McConnell received his M. S. degree from the Uni- versity of Illinois, and L. W. Remley studied at the University of Iowa, where he plans to take his doctor of philosophy degree next summer. V. G. Catlin, head of the department, studied at Northwestern during the vacation. Mr. Catlin is sometimes hard pressed to keep up with the demand for his Dermo- line, a liquid to cure skin diseases caused by fungus growths which he gives to all sufferers from such diseases. In the space occupied at present by the east gym, classrooms are to be built. One of these rooms will be a biology room and storeroom for the science department. The room is to have eight In W, 1-HND5 B. S., Kansas State Teachers' College tables and will accommodate thirty-two pupils. A- B., Egflhgm College A. M., Columbia University Alden Greene, V. C.

M., Columbia University - fy. fe. ,-. , COMMERCE The commercial department, headed by E, W. Brooks, also prepares the future job-seeker for the business world. Various courses give general or specialized training in business education to those who desire business or clerical positions, or employ- ment in the fields of selling and bookkeeping. New calculating machines were added to the equipment of the commercial department this year so that it became possible to offer specialized train- ing in machine bookkeeping and calculation. Sales- manship, retail selling, and advertising are offered to those students who are interested in the selling field. A. L. Fry received his M.S. degree from the Uni- versity of Illinois last summer, and l. E. Krueger went to the University of Iowa to earn his M.A. STENOGRAPHY The majority oi Proviso's graduates go directly from the PAGEANT OF YOUTH to the world of busi- ness. The stenographic department offers shorthand, typing, and office practice to fit these students to meet the increasing demands of modern industry. This year the course in office practice was put on a project basis and offered for a full year instead of only one semester. The purchase of new office equipment led to training not previously attempted. Six transcribers, four dictaphones and two edi- phones give training in transcription, which is often prepared on the new dictating machine. Other new equipment obtained by the steno- graphic department this year includes: a ditto ma- chine, which increases the possibilities of duplicat- ing materialp a mimeoscope, and a filing cabinet, which teaches the use of all filing systems.
