cent. OF those enrolled spend half
time at college and half time az prac-
teal work in appropriate callings. in
alternate periods OF FIVE weeks.
Antioch College is located at Yellow
Springs. Ohio. within easy reach Of
Springfield. Dayton. Columbus. and
other commercial professional, and
industrial centers. so that opportun-
tiles for practical work are abund-
ant. The college is coedlcatlonal.
and girls are given opportunities-
which accord with their interests.
"Of the school periods. about half
the time is taken up with so-caileG /
cultural studies and. for most OF the I
students, the remainder is occupied /
with specifically technical training ]
Some OF the required cultural sub /
lects also have value in technical /
training. as physics. chemistry. |
