Agriculture boys build hotbeds for raising plant s ecimens. Sh p op boys follow IVlr. Thompsorvs instructions as they cut and pattern sheet metal. The cool, clean smell of sawdust distinguishes Mr. F, C. Bert's room from t.he other new shops. This is one of the most popular courses offered by the trades department. Boys here make book ends, magazine racks, even model houses. More advanced students work on cedar chests and diflicult projects which may be assigned to them or which they may bring from home. This training proves invaluable to the boys, for, with a few nails, a hammer. and some wood they are able to do many of the small jobs around the home. Mr. Bert also instructs students in sheet metal work. Here they learn to apply their knowledge concerning metals, especially tin, in making many useful articles. Boys in Mr. E. H. Schulte's electric shop learn not only how motors run and wires are constructed, but also how to put this information to practical usc. Some pupils fix switch boxes, others help read meters, while still others bring electric irons, toasters, and other appliances from home to repair. Eighth grade and freshman boys are taught the fundamentals of these courses by Mr. C. H. Thompson to prepare them for the more diificult work. A complete course in itself is the agriculture class taught by Mr. W. V. Godshall. Here future farmers learn to raise crops scientifically, to prevent plant diseases, and to make the earth more productive. They also study dairying, the cultivating of orchards, and other phases of rural life. They are aided in this work by field trips to neighboring farms. So the trades department offers practical training to all boys in every industrial occupational line. l , Boys in Mr. SchuIte's electric shop use model booths to wire house frames for lights and electric bells.

Wx lk ll .A!. l 1 if 1 NG , ,arse l 'V'-aj i X-, INDUSTRY 'v Machine shop boys finish a job on the drill press. A boy in the machine shop rubs his hand across his hot forehead and leaves a greasy streak -another gazes intently at drawings spread before him-a Workman in the wood shop planes a piece of wood to exact proportions-an amateur electrician studies plans for wiring his own room-a lad in the sheet metal shop holds up a finished dust pan for a fellow worker's approval --a future farmer displays a pro- ject on seeds-and so all the students of the industrial department bend over their tasks, preparing for some useful occupation in later life. In the newly equipped shop room Mr. H. G. Knier instructs boys 11oL only how to use but to repair and make machinery. They bring tools or raw materials from home to repair or to make into some useful article, thus doing much practical work. Needed experience is also gained when t.hese students are employed by the school to repair any uuti ,S . 5. Future craftsmen cut and form their pro- broken machines, to fasten numbers to the lockers, or do any of the odd jobs connected with their line of work. Mr. F. A. Halsall's mechanical drawing room excites many admir- ing compliments from visitors to the school. Indirect lighting, properly arranged stools and desks, and walls painted a soothing green to pre- vent. eye strain all combine to make this one of the scho01's most interesting rooms. Students in the drawing classes are given instruc- tions in planning and layout work while those in the more advanced drafting class spend much time planning machines, houses, and play grounds. This course trains the boys in neatness in addition to teach- ing them to be precise workers. jects in the sheet metal shop. Page Sixteen lndustrious boys work while Nlr.
