This study was concerned with developing an innovative program for the Thomas Butcher Children's School of Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, Kansas.A survey was made of the known innovative programs, with an in-depth comparison of similarities and dissimilarities of the three most notorious programs: The Industrial Arts Curriculum Project, The American Industries Project, and The Maryland Plan, and of the three most recent books directed toward elementary industrial arts: Teaching Elementary Industrial Art, Teaching Children About Technology, and Elementary School Industrial Arts, relative to rationale, objectives, and structure.The suggested program began with a definition of Industrial Arts for elementary education, followed by the rationale, objectives and structure. Communications was to receive the major emphasis at the Kindergarten level; transportation at the first grade level; shelter at the second grade level; clothing at the third and fourth grade level; and foods at the fifth and sixth grade level, although each could not be limited to any one grade level. Units under each category were followed by room preparation, minimal tool list, and material media suggestions.
