Many industries, such as the cereal, can, macaroni, candy, tomato, and pickle factories, as well as a packing house and two cement factories, afford the various departments of the school opportunity for profitable visits during the year. A public library, which is a repository for the government documents, and which contains many thousand bound volumes and the leading magazines of the country, is open to all students.
