cational but general education
for all students, college bound
and non-college bound. The cur
riculum should embrace all kinds
of industry.
Following his talk there were
seminars on the different cur
riculum areas. Mr. Burke at
tended the seminar on Drafting
and Design. It was pointed out
that students would always need
to know how to perform but they
need to learn to express them
selves creatively.
Dr. Davis Bushnell, Director
of the Division of Comprehensive
and Vocational Education Re
search, US Office of Education,
spoke on “Hie Role of Indus
trial Arts in an Educational Sys
tem of the 70’s”. This role is
a complete program for every
one, kindergarten through grade
12. In the elementary school
industrial arts should be inte
grated with the regular class
room work.
Dr. Asahel Woodruff, Profes
sor of Educational Psychology,
University of Utah, spoke on
“New Concepts in Learning and
Instruction”. Teachers should
make use of all the instructional
tools, materials and machines

available in order to care for
individual differences.
Dr. Robert Seckendorf, assis
tant Commissioner for Occupa
tional Education, State of New
York, asked the question, “Where
Should We Be Going in Industrial
Arts?” The answer is to offer
it to all students.
Dr. Harold A. Foecke, Dean
of Engineering, Gonzaga Univer
sity, Spokane, Washington pre
sented “The Interface Between
Engineering and Industrial
Arts”. He said industrial arts
helps the engineer in the same
way as mathematics or other
subject matter material. It is
not to be patterned after voca
tional education or to be a part
of it.
Dr. William J. Micheels, Pres
ident Stout State University, Me
nomonie, Wisconsin spoke on
“New Concepts in the Evalua
tion of Student Progress”. Stu
dents should be evaluated on cri
teria and not on norms.
There were 200 exhibitors of
materials, books, tools, ma
chines and other teaching aids,
however many of these cannot be
put to practical use due to the
great expense involved.
During the convention Mr.
Burke enjoyed two tours, to the
White Bear Senior High School,
which is a 2.5 million dollar
school housing 2000 students
which has in operation a modular
flexible schedule with a round
design building. In this school
