The Cflltleaning nf an Qliihusirial Eihnwfinn OUNG men graduating from Williamson School are supposed to have an industrial education. What is the meaning of the term Industrial Education ? If a person has an industrial education, he has some appre- ciation of his responsibility as a citizen of the country in which he has been educated. He has some capacity for solving problems by himself 5 at the same time he is not too important to accept suggestions from persons more experienced than himself. He has the ability to weigh the value of varied opinions as expressed by different people concerning a given subject. If he is thoughtful his ability in these lines increases ld . as he grows o er In addition to the civic qualifications mentioned above, the person having an industrial education has learned the manual processes relat- ing to some one of the fundamental trades of our present civilization. He also possesses some first-hand knowledge of the sciences underlying modern industry. This is the type of training that has been offered to the 1920 class at Williamson School. If the members of the class have embraced the opportunity offered, they have a good back ground for a successful industrial career. If each member of the class has been faithful in his H. work, he is able to apply the principles he has learned to any problems , he may meet in the industrial field. IAMES A' PRATT' Undo' The oung man who is educated to reason from a ground-work of Y physics, chemistry, and mathematics, can express 'himself in good English, can explain his own, or th ' ideas by means of a drawing knows the manual processes of a good trade, and who is ano ers s . , willing to work, need have no fear concerning his future in the industrial world. ' f r class has had an opportunity to get such an education during the past three Iuach member o you years. I hope each one has made it his own personal possession.. As you close your apprenticeship, remember that you are just beginning your life's work. Con- tinue to study, to improve yourself, to become valuable men in America's industrial life. T rove ourselves valuable means many years of hard work and diligent application to the indus- ' ' ' ' ' ll th th 0 D Y trial field. The reward, however, both in personal satisfaction and financial gain, is we wor e effort. I trust that you will go into the business world with the ideal of doing your best as your guide, and I wish for each graduate the reward in prosperity and happiness which such effort justly merits.
