At all times it is aimed to give as practi- cal an ediiéation in this line as pos- sible, It will be appreciated that boys are not all fitted for the same calling. Some must be future doc- tors, some future statesmen and some mechanics. In one sense of the word manual training is to determine Manual training will be found cqually beneficial to the doctor and statesman as well as to a mechanic. There will always be times when his training will be of great benefit to him. To a mechanic it will mean, laying the foundation for his future success. H It is not aimed to tyrn out first class journeymen mechanics in this department as this would take years of experience on the part of the stu-| dent, but it is planned to teach the; fundamental principles of mechanics. The following is the course of study this year: In the seventh and eighth grade work the boys are taught how to work up small articles of wood from blue prints, in which the squaring up of stock plays a very jmportant part. Also the use of all The Freshman year in the High! school is taken up of the following joints; cross joints, mortice and tenon | Angular joint, timber splice and! dove-tail.” The boys then build an} twenty mortices and-tenons, also the upholstering of the same. The boys then are allowed to select a small piece of furniture, such as center tables, pedestals, game tables, etc. The Freshman year mechanical| drawing is given in connection to the chop work. Plates of the various pieces of wood work mdde in the shop are layed out. Geometrical problems are dealt with. Tracings and blue prints are made following several simple ma- chine part plates. The advanced boys in wood work have completed some very practical work such as bullding cabinets for the science department, doors for their lockers, blackhoards for some of wie class rooms and a table for the cemmercial department. They are now working on furniture problems, such as library tables, rockers, dress-| ing tables, tool chests and morris chairs. Later in the year there will be several miniature models of vun- galows built. The mechanical drawing of the ad- vanced boys is the making of furni- ture.
