Draftsrnen of the Future. Industrial Arts The aim of the lndustrial Arts Department is to provide for a variety of shop courses which give the pupil a dexterity in the use of tools and which will be of value regardless of his future occupation. Preparation for living is in reality living itself. When a student operates a machine in a school shop, he is doing the same thing that a Worker does in industry-the difference is merely in degree. Every boy in Springfield High School has an opportunity to gain experience in shops and labo- ratories. This practical training is the vocational foundation upon which and around which the in- dividual's aptitudes are developed. lt is just as vital for a student to determine Whether he is adapted to craft Work as it is for him to ascertain how his gifts should be applied in a professional direction. A broad education embodies the best of the practical and the academic. Twenty-seven A. B. McCall Illinois State Normal Universityg University of lllinoisg Bradley Poly- technic Institute.

Science That nearly twelve-hundred students are tak- ing courses in science is evidence that science is one of the more popular courses in Springfield High School. The science departments aim is to teach not only a sense of value but also to encourage sys- tematized thinking, and thereby instigate a useful habit. Courses in science are open to all students. F or the freshman there is general science. Sopho- mores may take either botany, Zoology, or biology. These three courses offer a background for medi- cine and nursing. Chemistry, a third or fourth year subject, is also valuable to anyone planning to take up science as a vocation. Physics is the usual third year science course. Physics and chemistry are prerequisites of engineering. The Value of these courses is to in- form the pupil Whether he has the ability to hold a job which requires science.

Languages The Language Department is indispens- able in Springfield I-iigh. lt performs the all- important function of preparing college prep students for future study and vocations with a thorough background in Latin or one of the modern tongues, Spanish or French. The department offers four years of Latin to the student, including grammar, Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil. Latin students show to good advantage in other classes, too, be- cause the study of this subject gives them a foundation in vocabulary, grammar, and al- lusions. The ever-popular study of French is pur- sued by a large group of students each year. Classes are made more interesting by con- versation in French, amusing sketches, and short plays. Spanish has become of greater import- ance today due to our new friendly relation- ship with Latin America. This subject has gone a long Ways toward helping many stu- dents become acquainted with the customs and language of our Central and South American neighbors. The Spanish classes are supplemented by the Spanish club, open to all interested in this subject. Twenty-eight Bernadine Mathews Radio Club Adviserg Indiana University, A.
