Proposed course of study for the Jewell High School, Jewell, Oregon

Abstract

Scope of Study: This report consists of a proposed course of study of industrial arts subjects for the Jewell High School. The selected courses include leather, plastics, mechanical drawing, and woodworking. An outline of projects and procedures are presented. Also, a list of tools and equipment and their uses is included.

Findings and Conclusions: The program of industrial arts in high school has been undergoing a change in the last thirty years. A careful study of the history and development of industrial arts indicates that the general shop idea has developed since World War I. Undoubtedly it is best suited to the high school level and has become popular because of its flexibility and exploratory nature. The general shop is a shop equipped to teach more than one subject at the same time under one teacher. Its chief purpose is to provide exploratory experiences and industrial information. The courses offered here were chosen after a close study of community needs and the facilities of the school.
