COLLEGE . college campus, properly qualified students have had an opportunity to contribute services and gain valuable experience. In the last few ycars^ students have construct chine shed, tool house for the Division of Agriculture in keeping with designs approved by the Un-| ~tte3 States Department of Agri-j culture Bulletins. Add to thL the maintenance ' work in wooa-frame and brick buildings on the campus and it is fair to assume that their training is definitely practical. The instruc tion in this department is offered by two professors and several -spe cialized instructors. In the improv ed housing about -11,000 -square feet of floor area is assignable to the work of these students specifically. The functional Head of the Department of Industrial Education is Professor H. W. Crawford, who' is also connected with the Division . of Vocational Education?of?theState 'Department of Education. At the college his wor): consists in providing class-rbom instruction compatible with-the n,eeds of 1 industrial teachers in the various Negro schools in the State o f South Carolina. It also involves planning of laboratory shop cours es and production experience for those men who expect to become s>*shop teachers. As an extension 1?agent , under the direction ot the i State Supervisor of Industrial Ed i ucation, he serves to give aid to "in service" Negro Industrial teachers in interpreting the State Plan of Vocational Education; to . offer . technical assistance in aid i ers to "put the program across," . to supply approved construction > methods to teachers wlio-ar^ tem . pornrily in' need ojLengincering-or . architectural adv'ce in pursuance of Jtheir practical training of highschool boys; to assist the State Department of Education in any way possible in evaluating and standardizing Negro Industrial EducatHoru The instruction in this denartment involves the use of all shops ?an<i shop-instractors phnr one part -time?Professor of Industrial E-du 1 ^ cation.

I Tlie Department of Industrial Administration?is?a?cooperating unit in connection with the Department of Business Administra tion ijj.the Division of Arts and Sciences. Its course of study is planned to substitute Industrial experiences for certain special commercial and secretarial type subjects. Its objective is to train ' a student in the fundamental operations connected with a small business which will require of its work and part-time business activifv Partipiilnr? om cix: n1o/>_ ed on those businesses which experience has proven offer oppornities for one with limited Capital te invest, mnrn nri-nninlly grocs of limited capital. Industrial core offerings at present center around managing and operating Tailoring Shops, Leather Shops. Electrical Shops, Printing and Photographic Shops, Automobile In addition to t,nese Industrial courses students in Industrial Administration elect. elen^entary. courses in Economics, Business Management, Salesmanship, Business English, Introduction to accounting and Business Law. In the planned improved housing, 7,000 square feet of floor area is provided for these students. Curriculum requirements i n this course are of necessity reasonably flexihie and generally are design-J. ed to meet the need of th individ-^ ~ual student according to his ^busi-1 nes?. plans. " ~ l In addition to the special train ing provded for students enrolled as majors in the Division of Mechanical Industres," this division coonerates with the Division o f Agriculture in providing Agricul-1 t'ural Shop" training to all of its students. Units provided for Ag- ] ricultural student^ consist of spe cially designed courses in: 1. Agricultural Drafting. 2. Farm Wood Shop. 3. Farm Metal Shop. T. Farm Forge Shop.' 5. Farm Painting and Decorating. fi. Farm Leather Shop The course in Agricultural Drafting represents a group of studies culled from the listed, Farm Shop requirements. This j work is offered by the Division of Mechanical Industries as a matter, of economy in housing and to as-) sure that the Farm Shop Instructors will have that breadth of ex | perienee and training -necessary j for Farm Shop work on an advanced level. . _ In order to assist tho students of the Division of Mechanical Industrie,, in those non-technical aS| pects of an "employable," they, are required also to get fundamental training in the practical! aspects of English, mathematics,1 Science, and the fields of human behavior which will lead to mak ing them better citizens. The improved facilities will no_douht provide-a great -incentive 4o our students and to prospective students of the college. Tho r.rimarv ohicrtiv^ of this. division is training for employment. Hence, considerable atten tion is paid to each individual stu dent. tHte ne edh,hTainle re s ts, htg ~ aptitudes, and his peculiar person al opportunities finally decide his curriculum. Towards that end ( each course of study proceeds from general to specific subjects' and experiences. In the freshman year, general subjects constitute 78.5 per cent of the time require-J ment and technical subject, 21.5 ( per cent. In the senior year, gen eralized technical or related sub-1 jects constitute 40 per cent and, specialized technical subjects 60 per cent of the student's program In this \fcay academic maturation proceeds with the student's maturation. The future of this division seems to be promising. With the provision of decent buildings and with the provision of modern equipment, a new impetus should be provided to both faculty members and students. The present trend of agricultural crop reduction and control seems tn imply that more Negroes must side of agriculture if they expect to become self-sufficient. The development of the Santee River PUB PALMETTO tEADER power unit will, lead to more elec trieal work. More emphasis o n low cost housing for elimination of rural insufficiences should lead to. further opportunities, in buildinp: construction. Tho limit nf thr> sprviVn tVisil this division can render to the State lies-only-rn the lpnit imposed on the opportunity Tor employ ment of skilled Negro workers.
