Enduring achieve ments of the race to which he belongs is the object of the course in Drawing and Industrial Art. Thereby he can better understand the world in which he lives, how modern needs are supplied by the production, manufacture, and distribution of goods, and the value of design, composition and color in economic life. Because man's intelligence has developed mainly through his efforts to solve the problems of industry, Industrial Education furnishes peculiar opportunities for the mental development of the child. The problems offered furnish a real and vital starting point for the acquisition of information of all kinds. The prob lems to be solved are practical and concrete and are suited to his intelligence. They give the child a perspective view of the strug gles of the race to maintain and to forward itself on the earth. They make plain how people have learned the advantage and im portance of social life. The constant Opportunities offered for concerted effort in planning and working out group problems ex pand the group consciousness of the child. It is by observation and by actual participation in the family, in the school, and in the community, that the child learns why people work together to accomplish certain results; how the home helps the school and the school helps the home; and how both help the neighborhood, the town, the city, and the nation. By facing problems that could not be solved alone, both in war and in peace, people have learned the value of co-operation. The study of a particular industry should be approached from the standpoint of general education, the activities involved being adjusted to the abilities of the various grades. All hand work recommended is based upon the industries studied and is of two kinds: drawing, including representation and design; con struction, including the selection, preparation, and manipulation of materials.
