Adelmann, and Voca- tional Auto lylechanics, taught by G. O. Fry, open the way to boys interested in mechanical occupations. The former is in- tended for students who wish to have an elementary knowl- edge of auto machinery, while the latter is provided for those who want to go further in this subject and make it their vocation. Bench Woodwork and Nlachine NVoodwork, both Elementary and Advanced, are taught by L. K. Perkins and VV. T. Rounds. These industrial subjects have both practical and cultural value. From a practical standpoint the student may get a simple working knowledge of the subject, or suflicient training to become a cabinet maker or millman. The cultural value lies in the fact that such manual training is often a requirement in the study of Engineering. Printing is taught by W. O. Lemon and H. L. Straight. The course includes Introductory, Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced Printing, Printing and Foremanship, and Advanced Printing and Foremanship. The primary object is to teach Printing as a vocation. Several courses in Mechattical Drawing are also offered by this department.
