Industrial instruction has attained great importance in Honduras. The
School of Arts and Crafts of Tegucigalpa concerns itself chiefly with
products in wood and the metals and is steadily training artisans and
mechanics. There likewise exists in this city the national automobile
school managed by the Government. For some years there has been in
operation in Siguatepeque a school of English and of arts and crafts,
in which are taught fiber weaving, carpentry, dressmaking, and
embroidery. In the normal schools and in the two colegios students may
choose between the commercial courses and those relating to arts and
crafts. In 1915 was established a technical practical school for girls,
where courses in science and in crafts for women are offered parallel
with the subjects belonging to the primary schools.
