THE youngest child in the large departmental family of the Oshkosh Normal School, is the department of Industrial Education. It is due to the efforts of President John A. II. Keith and Regent Harrington that the Board of Regents of Normal Schools of Wisconsin established this department for the purpose of training teachers for such positions as supervisors of manual training, manual training teachers for high schools and for grade schools, teachers of industrial, vocational, and continuation schools, etc. The course covers a period of either two or three years. This department is housed in a building but lately completed and erected at a cost approximating $80,000. The equipment, all of the latest design, was installed at an additional expense of $15,000. The department is thus in a position to offer unexcelled facilities to our young men to acquire a practical working knowledge of the subject matter pertaining to these industrial courses. Among the courses offered are the following: joinery, wood turning, cabinet making, advanced cabinet making by the factory method, mechanical drawing, forge work, pattern making, foundry practice, machine shop practice, applied design, etc. The instructors in charge of the mechanical subjects are Mr. R. E. Gruenhagen, Mr. R. Hcberling, and Mr. H. W. Schmidt, the director.
