BY JOHN LEVINGSTON Brtirad Induttriol Arts Teocher All of the children enrolled in the public schools of North Carolina should hove on opportunity to prepare to go to college or find something in the work world that will give them a good return for their efforts. As for preparing o grodua'e of the system for college, the schools are doing a good job However, the majority of the pupils do not complete the secondory level. industrial education is offered to the junior ond senior high school student. How about grades 1-6? Boys ond girls at this level leorn quickly ond some potentiol dropouts could become excellent trodesmen. To moke the industrial courses more ottroctive. some -chonges should be made. It is the custom to send all of the slow leorners and troublemakers to the industrial educotion courses. This practice mokes it impossible for the instructors to develop first-class performers in the fieid. Exposure to the industrial education curriculum in grades 1 through 12 does not guorontee that all of the pupils will become craftsmen. All is not lost, howeve 'n later life, some will be oble to use the skills on a hobby ond hondymon basis.
