A great) majority of the Adventist min- | isters, teachers, doctors and nur-| ses at some time in their exper- | fence worked in the vocational | shops operated by the denom- | {national colleges. | OLD HOUSE | In 1966 the old stone house} was torn down to make space for a modern 10 room class- room and science building | To keep up with the times and provide vocational training for the students the woodwork plant is now housed in a mon-) ern 40,000 sq. ft. building where the students learn to operate modern machines,. which cost up to $25,000 each. Their an-) nual production exceeds half aj million collars. For years wood- | en step ladders and wooden ironing boards were the main) items manufactured. The com-| petition from metal products brought about a gradual change | until the entire production is now bedroom furniture, book- | cases, and student desks. The | plant operates 16 hours a day with the work schedule so ar- ranged that students can work'! 4 hour shifts. Their classroom | schedule is arranged in such a} way that some students attend) class while others work.- In this way each student can earn from one third to three auar- | ters of his school expenses. YOUNG WOMEN Work for the young women on the college campus is pro- vided in the Cafeteria, the laun- dry and the Golden Rule Bind- ery which was started in 1962. | The bindery employs seventy students and ten supervisors and specializes in the rebinding of books and periodicals for, public libraries, high schools and various departments of the Fed- eral Government. The cost of] rebinding a book is approxim.- | ately one third of the cost of a new textbook and it will last twice as long as a new book. The industry results in substan- tial savings to the taxpayers of the province.
