Costa Rica is another of the Central American countries where practical
instruction is combined with general. Five institutions of higher grade
and the vocational schools for women have well-equipped workshops,
laboratories, kitchens, and laundries. Of all Central American States,
Costa Rica gives perhaps most attention to this special branch of
instruction. It is noteworthy that manual arts and domestic science are
uniformly taught in the secondary schools conjointly with the literary
and purely scientific subjects.
