Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from L. W. L. Life, Vol. 12: December 1926
Notwithstanding this delay in our plans for a junior college, we shall proceed with the introduction of the co-operative plan under which students in the various industrial departments will spend part of their time in commercial establishments, and the instruction given in the school will be closely related to the outside work, and reinforced by it.
At the Lux School the new course of store service is well under way, using the co-operative plan, and the instruction in English-and Science during the third and fourth years is being adapted to the various lines of employment for which the girls are being prepared.
Numbers of boys, also, have been working in outside establishments, from the electrical and art departments and from the drafting room. As the Lick and Wilmerding courses of mathematics, science, and drawing are already well related to mechanical and technical courses, there has'not vet been any need for radical changes of the school program, but nevertheless, as the proportion of time spent in outside establishments increases, the reaction on the school is bound to be stimu lating and to make the instruction in the academic departments more practical than ever.
