A Study of Student Preference for the Technical High School on a Basis of Mechanical Aptitude
(University of Oregon, 1934-07) Klink, Chester A.
A technical high school in a best modern sense of the term may be said to be characterized by (1) the academic subjects of the traditional high school – English, mathematics, science, history, civics, and economies, with foreign languages usually omitted; (2) a variety of shops representing as large a range of industries as practicable in any given local situation; (3) equipment representative of the best modern industrial practices; (4) subject-matter courses designed to supplement the hand-work in the shops; (5) the production of marketable “projects” made, so far as possible, by modern factory methods of production; (6) the careful study, through special assignments, lectures, excursions, etc., of modern industries and their various problems; (7) well trained, college educated teachers; (8) a general curricula organization calculated to fulfill the entrance requirements of an engineering college.
