8 In 1909, Muskogeeans voted for a bond issue to build a high school for African American students. Construction began that year, and the first class entered its halls in 1910. Its first graduation was held in 1912. This new school would follow an educational movement that had been growing in popularity during the previous decades. It was known as the manual training method, and the high school was given the name Manual Training High School. Manual training was a system of education sweeping across America and modeled after schools in Europe. It placed an emphasis on teaching not only the fundamentals of science, mathematics, language, literature, and history, but also on drafting, mechanics and the use of basic tools. The purpose was not to provide training for specific jobs, but to give students an understanding of basic mechanical principles that would prepare them for a wide range of jobs in the growing industrial sector. It was seen as the logical progression away from the apprenticeship system that had previously prepared young people for the work force.

11 Columbia University Teachers College faculty members Bonser and Mossman (1923) used the term "manual training" to identify the prevailing interpretation of industrial education in the 1920s. In Industrial Arts for Elementary Schools they listed "these prominent inadequacies in manual training:" Foster.

13 Despite the fact that Bonser and Mossman co-authored Industrial Arts for Elementary Schools-- probably the most famous book in the history of industrial arts and technology education-- Bonser is often referred to as the book's sole author. But Before he met Mossman, Bonser had done no work in the field of industrial arts. Yet he is remembered as the man who founded the industrial arts movement. Louis Coffey Mossman and Frederick Bonser Bonser and Coffey at Macomb, 1906-1910 Need to design own projects (shirts, shelter, drew houses Integration of school subjects. Industrial arts is a study of the changes made by man in the forms of materials to increase their values, and of the problems of life related to these changes (Bonser & Mossman, 1923, p. 5).
