This fact is self-evident and the graduates of the Industrial Arts Department of Wheeling High School attest to the success this department has had in pre- paring young people for the managerial and operative branches of the indus- trial world. The students learn practical methods of repair and construction work, and the elements of design that are the foundation for architectural, and engineering the elements of design that are the foundation for architectural and engineering of beauty. The capable staff of instructors is not only active in its classwork, but is always willing to co-operate by handling the scenic and lighting problems for the dramatic department, or by doing necessary art work for the various organizations of the school. 18

Dowling, Director of Physical Education, upon his Hrst year's work. During his first year he created a new spirit in the school, The students found themselves taking an interest in athletics for their own sake, rather than for the glory derived from them. The idea of the game itself and good sports- manship was predominant. Mr. Dowling and his assistants plan the gymnasium work, and schedule and oversee all athletic tilts in which the High School takes part, In order to graduate from the High School each student must complete two MR, GLENN A.

Health Department Miss Grace George, who came to the school this year, has reorganized the Health Department of the school, and has, by her efficient health advertising and her exhibits, created among the students great interest in healthful living. In the first semester, the school conducts a phys- ical examination and Dr. C. H. Keesor examines every student in the school. If the students need further attention they are directed to their family physician. Miss George has in her files a complete chart of the condition of each student in the school at the time of the examination. Iodine tablets are administered under her suprevision to prevent and control the growth of goitre, a disease very prevalent in the Ohio Valley. MISS GRACE GEORGE, R.N., B.S., Director of Health Education. Classes for the freshmen in Home Nurs- ing and First Aid fit them to care for ordinary diseases and minor accidents. For the senior girls there is a course in Public Health and Personal Hygiene. The class this semester took a trip to Washington, D. C., where it studied hospital conditions and saw all the places of interest in our capital. 20
