A Suggested Industrial Education Program for Liberty Training High School of Liberty, Texas

We live in an industrial age. Our world, once based on animal and man power, is now mechanized. Now, man has tractors to do the work of horses. Industry Is not static, it is dynamic. It is a living symbol indicative of our times. All of the pursuits of our lives have been affected by this age of science and technology. The dominant element in America is industry. In order to survive we must adjust our mode of living to the development of industry.1 Industrial Education fosters the development of a strong foundation in the skills, knowledge, and attitudes, regarding technical matters that are needed for happy and effective living in America. Public schools should give every youngster the chance to learn to work with tools and materials, and to acquire reasonable judgment and some degree of technical know-how.2 Courses in industrial education should be made available to all students in the Liberty Training School. This statement is based on the necessity for satisfying the immediate needs of all the pupils for industrial education as an asset to those pupils who drop out of high school; for those who finish high school and do not enter college; and for those who graduate and go to college. Industrial education for pupils in these areas will improve the individual and the community economic status of Liberty, Texas. The main purpose of this study was to propose an Industrial Education Program for Liberty Training School at Liberty, Texas. To attain this, certain questions were kept in mind, namely: 1. What are the understandings, interests and abilities of the students with relation to industrial arts in Liberty Training High School? 2. How can industrial education aid in the improvement of the economic status of the community? 3. What should be the role of industrial education in the Liberty Training High School? 4. What should be the organization plan of such an industrial education program? 1Industrial Arts, Its Interpretation in American Schools (Washington, D.

Nineteen Eighty-Four and the Eclipse of Private Worlds

Editor\u27s note: This article is excerpted from a paper Professor Allen presented last year a a University of Michigan symposium on The Future of 1984 . It appears in toto, along with the other papers presented, in the collection of essays The Future of Nineteen Eighty-Four, published by the University of Michigan Press and edited by U-M Professor of English Ejner J. Jensen. To answer fully why a novel for over a generation has remained embedded in the consciousness of persons in widely differing situaitons and of varied backgrounds and convictions, would be, perhaps, to say more about the society than the work of art. George Orwell\u27s Nineteen Eighty-Four, whatever its limitations, has amply demonstrated its power to strip bare many of the half-realized fears of persons inhabiting the Western world in our time, and of giving the terrors tangible shape. The book has transcended a merely literary influence. Just as many persons ignorant of Don Quixote speak of tilting at windmills, so too Big Brother is regularly denounced from public platforms and in newspaper columns by persons unable to account for the origin of the term

The Legalization of American Society

Law, delivered the introduction to the symposium . He described law libraries as symbols of the importance of the word in legal education and law practice, since it is in libraries that students learn to draw on, and to shape, the written word . Dedication of the library addition, he said , provides an opportunity to express our commitment to the humanistic ideal, an expression all the more significant when the place of the word in law training appears to be under concentrated attack. The faculty committee\u27s choice of a topic for the conference, The Legalization of American Society, clearly serves that end. Its breadth encourages the exploration of a range of legal subject matters. The topic reflects a popular perception that a significant expansion of law has occurred in recent years; that areas earlier free of governmental and legal intervention have become fields for legal regulation; and that in areas earlier subjected to legal controls, new and more intrusive forms of regulation are being applied. The symposium should examine the validity of these popular perceptions of the growth of legal regulation and , if they proved accurate, examine the possible causes and consequences
