Methods and techniques of public relations for industrial arts

Abstract

Scope of Study: An attempt has been made in this report to compile some rules and suggestions that might be of value to teachers of industrial arts who may wish to establish a public relations program. The methods of public relations discussed in this report includes the newspaper, exhibits, teacher relations, radio and television.

Findings and Conclusions: In preparing this report the writer found no books, pamphlets or other publications that were devoted exclusively to public relations in industrial arts. Neither does there seem to be any course offered in Industrial Arts Education to train adequately teachers in the field who might wish to establish a public relations program.

The writer recommends that a state-wide committee be appointed to prepare a handbook on methods and techniques of public relations for industrial arts for use of teachers in the field. Also that a course of study be organized and offered in the Industrial Arts Education Departments of colleges and universities, to educate teachers and students in modern methods and techniques of public relations for industrial arts.
