Industrial Arts Course
Valuable In Many Ways
Instructor Tells Jaycees

Although boys taking Industrial Arts only receive instruc-
tion for 10 ciass periods a week, the course is providing a basic
training that will stand them in good stead in later years,
according in L. EB. ‘Les’ Cantell, Who has been entrusted with
District 27’s first venture into this part of the educational field,
and who gave his views on .the work to members of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce Monday night. =

The purpose of the course is not}
to turn out trained tradesmen. Mr.
Contell explained, but to give the
hoys a grounding in fundamental
skills that they can make good use
of in the trade they follow on gradu-
ation. Even if this knowledge is only
used in later life as a hobby, the
course would still be worthwhile to
the student, he stated.

will branch into metalwork and farm
mechanics.

But there is more to the course
than drafting and making small
woodworking models, or even the
Proposed addition to the School
Board office the seniors may tackle
this spring.

The speaker emphasized the value
of the training in more abstract
ways; in developing a wholesome re-
spect for good workmanship; becom-
ing safety conscious, and developing
a respect for the difficulties anead
in earning their dally bread.
PARENTS’ JOB

In this work of industrial arts,
the parents of the boys taking it
have a part to play too, Mr. Cantell
asserted.

When a boy completes his first
project, which may be a simple stand
with the upright set in a mortised
joint in the base, he'll proudly bear
it home for inspection. Maybe it will

Industrial Arts, or manual train-
ing as some of his older listeners
would remember the course, was
first organized in Finland and Swe-
den, the teacher said. In explaining
that the course is not a new ‘frill’ of
modern education, Mr. Cantell said
a school in Sweden which was start-
ed in 1872 is still turning out teach-
ers. And the course is about the same
now as when it originated, mainly
concerned with carpentry, metal-
work and stonework.

In this province industrial arts
courses were in danger of being dis-

continued during the ‘hungry thir-
ties’, the speaker said. In Vancouver,
where Mr. Cantell (aught this course
